China angles for Swaziland to ditch Taiwan before major African summit

Image
China hopes self-ruled Taiwan's only remaining African ally, Swaziland, will sever ties with Taipei before China hosts a summit of African leaders this year, the foreign ministry said on Friday, keeping up the pressure on Taiwan. Taiwan is claimed by China as its own, with Beijing saying that as it is merely a Chinese province it has no right to state-to-state relations. Taiwan has lost two diplomatic allies in the past month, most recently the West African state of Burkina Faso, which re-established ties with Beijing last weekend. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2sxzQJb via Latest News

Niall Ferguson leaves Stanford role after ordering 'opposition research' on a student in free speech row

Image
Niall Ferguson, the prominent British historian, has left his role with a Stanford university free speech initiative after leaked emails showed him suggesting "opposition research" be carried out on a left-wing student. Ferguson resigned from a leadership position on the Cardinal Conversations programme at at the institution in California, which invites guest speakers from across the political spectrum to give talks. The academic said he had made an "error of judgment" but had been "deeply concerned" by the reaction on campus against a talk by Charles Murray, the controversial social scientist, who spoke on February 22. Ferguson said he acted because he believed the Cardinal Conversations programme was being taken over by "elements fundamentally hostile to free speech". His resignation from the programme's committee came against a background of controversy over free speech at universities in the US and UK. Last month Sam Gyimah, the British h...

Total says chances of Iran sanctions waiver 'very slim'

Image
French oil major Total said Friday the probability of winning an exemption from US sanctions against Iran to continue a major gas field project was very faint. The energy giant had already warned that, unless Washington granted it a waiver, it would pull out of the South Pars 11 project which it started in July 2017, two years after Western powers signed a nuclear deal with Tehran prompting the return of many businesses to Iran. Iran's oil minister on Wednesday gave Total 60 days to win a sanctions waiver from Washington before it would lose its stake in the multi-billion-dollar project. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2LPZVfj via Latest News

Weekly poll results: HTC U12+ gets a warm welcome, but not too warm

Some of you have already ordered an HTC U12+, which received a warm welcome in last week's poll. The amount of love wasn't overwhelming by any means, but it seems like HTC has put together a solid phone. As expected, there were plenty of complaints about the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack (and HTC won't be bundling an adapter). Also, a lot of people came out against the Super LCD6 screen - AMOLEDs have captured the public's attention. We were surprised how often the 64 GB storage came up as a negative considering the U12+ has a microSD slot.

ZTE to pay $1.7 billion in fines to the US government, needs to replace its execs

Image
According to inside sources, the Chinese tech giant, ZTE, may soon pay up to $1.7 billion penalty after its April 15 trade ban. The company is estimated to have lost around $3 billion as around 25 to 30% of the hardware it uses is supplied by US firms. However, this is definitely a scenario ZTE is hoping for because the initial 7-year ban would harm the company in more than one way. In addition to the proposed $1.7 billion fine, the US government wants ZTE to replace its board of directors, executive team and hire a compliance contractor to oversee the company's operations.
