BEIJING , Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily: "The Vision of Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind carries forward the same spirit of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. Both are rooted in traditional Chinese values such as 'Be kind to your neighbor,' 'Seek amity through integrity,' and 'Promote harmony among all nations.'" These are the remarks made by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Conference Marking the 70th Anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence on June 28 . In his speech, Xi expounded on the essence of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and their relevance for the times, charting the course forward for building a community with a shared future for mankind. He also noted that all countries must shoulder their common responsibility for peace, and commit to a path of peaceful development, and work together to seek peace, safeguard peace, and enjoy peace. Throughout the centuries, humanity has been dreaming of keeping war as far away as possible from mankind so that children across the world can grow up happily under the sunshine of peace. The baton of history is passed from generation to generation, and the cause of human progress moves forward from one era to another as humanity seek answers to the questions of the times. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence initiated seventy years ago provided a historic answer to the significant question of how to handle state-to-state relations. Seventy years later today, challenged by the historic question of "what kind of world to build and how to build it," Xi has answered the call of the times by proposing the community with a shared future for mankind. Both manifest China's firm resolve to follow the path of peaceful development. The Chinese civilization, with a history of over 5,000 years, has always cherished peace. The pursuit of peace, amity and harmony is an integral part of the Chinese character which runs deep in the blood of the Chinese people. According to British scholar Martin Jacques, the values of "pursuing the common good for all" and "promoting harmony among all nations" embodied in traditional Chinese culture reflect the profound inclusiveness of Chinese civilization, which have influenced China's policies and proposals. China was long one of the most powerful countries in the world. Yet it never engaged in colonialism or aggression. Over the past 70-plus years since its founding, the People's Republic of China never provoked a war or occupied an inch of foreign land. China stands against isolation and in favor of interaction, advocates coexistence and shared progress while opposing coercion, and advocates peace through harmony and rejects the law of the jungle. The intrinsic peacefulness of Chinese civilization determines that China will always work to safeguard world peace, contribute to global development, and uphold international order. China remains committed to the path of peaceful development and will always be a practitioner of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and building a community with a shared future for mankind. This year, Xi proposed to build a common home of peace and tranquility at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus" Meeting in Astana, Kazakhstan , announced to jointly advance modernization underpinned by peace and security at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, and promised to build a BRICS committed to peace, and called on all BRICS members to act as defenders of common security at the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia . These important proposals represent China's commitment to practicing common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and China's determination to implement the Global Security Initiative, creating strong momentum for world peace and development. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Xi has set an example for the world by working for people's wellbeing, upholding social fairness and justice, and advocating for peace over war, cooperation over confrontation, and creation over destruction. The intrinsic peacefulness of Chinese civilization determines that Chinese modernization is the modernization of peaceful development. A modernized China will strengthen the force for world peace and development. The modernization China pursues is not for the country alone. The country will stay committed to peaceful development, the policy of forging friendships and partnerships with neighbors, and the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness. It is ready to share more of the benefits of Chinese modernization with its neighbors. China's peaceful development is always closely connected with that of the world. It remains committed to seeking common security through solidarity and cooperation, and working with all countries to build a beautiful world of lasting peace and universal security. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said China's peaceful development is a noble cause in the history of mankind and is conducive to the peace and progress of all humanity. Drawing wisdom from the profound history of Chinese civilization, China is fulfilling its responsibility as a major country in the new era. It will never take the trodden path of colonial plundering, or the wrong path of seeking hegemony when one becomes strong. Instead, it will stay on the right path of peaceful development. Moving forward, China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit, making new contributions to promoting world peace and stability, as well as the common progress of humanity.
In a nutshell: Rumors regarding Intel partially divesting its foundry division have circulated since an insider leak last month. The company addressed those rumors this week, confirming its fabrication operation would become an independently run subsidiary. Head honcho Pat Gelsinger calls it "the next phase" of his plan to "transform" Intel into the powerhouse it once was. On Monday, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger informed employees that the company is transforming its foundry arm into an independent subsidiary, confirming insider leaks from August. According to the press release, disguised as a message to employees, the decision emerged last week after what Gelsinger described as a "highly productive and supportive Board meeting." As an independent subsidiary, the foundry can accept outside investments and allocate funds within a separate budget. This separation will allow the foundry to run more efficiently. "Collectively, these changes are critical steps forward as we build a leaner, simpler and more efficient Intel," Gelsinger said. "And they build on the immediate progress we have made since announcing our plan on August 1 to create a more competitive cost structure." The foundry will keep its current leadership and form an independent board of directors. A confidential source told CNBC that the company is considering turning it into a publicly traded spinoff. Gelsinger says the foundry will expand its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) with co-investments in new chip designs, including an AI chip for AWS and a custom Xeon 6 chip based on Intel's 3nm process. Intel's foundry has been particularly troubled recently. After spending two years and $50 billion expanding its fab operations, the company turned in a dreadful Q2 2024 earnings report . Gelsinger called it "disappointing," but investors promptly launched a class-action suit claiming that executives, including Gelsinger and CFO David Zinsner, issued "materially false and misleading" statements about its foundry business. The news of the foundry split caused stock prices to rebound nearly 22 percent from a low of $18.60 per share just five days ago to $22.66 during trading on Monday. However, it's still a far cry from the $49.55 stock price investors enjoyed in January. Gelsinger remains confident that he can turn things around. In addition to the continued broadening of its AWS relationship, the company received a $3 billion cash injection thanks to the CHIPS ad Science Act. However, the company still plans to cut 15,000 jobs by year's end. Nobody knows if they are getting let go, but the boss said the company would notify "impacted employees" beginning in the middle of next month. It is also divesting two-thirds of its global real estate holdings by the end of the year.
Assam: Diljit Dosanjh dedicates Guwahati concert to Manmohan SinghAn embattled Las Vegas Strip casino facing serious allegations from Nevada gaming regulators of allowing illicit gambling activities and anti-money laundering failures has named a new top executive who will work with a recently formed oversight committee in an effort to turn the struggling property around. Genting Berhad, parent company of Resorts World Las Vegas, announced the appointment of Jim Murren, former chief executive officer and board chairman of MGM Resorts International, as chairman of a four-person board of directors that will “bolster the property’s governance structure to help drive the go-forward business strategy,” according to a news release. “Resorts World Las Vegas has transformed the Vegas Strip with its unceasing focus on providing the ultimate guest experience, which is why I’m thrilled to join the team and help continue setting the standard for premier hospitality,” Murren said in the news release. “The board and I are excited to continue building on the strong foundation set by the executive leadership team and driving continued growth and innovation to benefit all of RWLV’s key stakeholders.” Alex Dixon, who has held executive roles for both MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment, has been named CEO of Resorts World Las Vegas. The news release did not mention Peter LaVoie, who had been serving as the property president since 2023. “As Resorts World Las Vegas continues to establish itself as the premier resort destination in Las Vegas, we are excited to welcome this group of industry leaders overseeing and guiding the leadership team to deliver unparalleled guest experiences while fostering our commitment to compliance,” said Kok Thay Lim, chairman and CEO of Malaysian-based Genting Berhad. “With over 40 years of collective experience in the global gaming and hospitality industry, we are confident that Alex and Jim, alongside the board, will help drive the company forward in pursuing our strategic goals for years to come.” Worst financial quarter in two years The top-level overhaul at Resorts World comes on the heels of the Strip property posting its worst financial quarter in two years . The company pointed to external factors, such as the summer heat and domestic election concerns, as causes for the lagging returns in the third quarter of 2024. The announcement also comes just days before Resorts World and Genting must respond to a 12-count disciplinary complaint filed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board in August. The board is expecting a response from the Las Vegas casino operator by or before Dec. 9 . Resorts World could be on the receiving end of severe sanctions based on the charges levied against the operator by state gaming regulators in the Aug. 15 complaint , including a multimillion-dollar fine and a possible license suspension or revocation. The Nevada Gaming Commission has yet to adjudicate the matter. Murren will head up a board comprised of: A.G. Burnett, former chair of the NGCB and gaming attorney; Michelle DiTondo, a seasoned human resources executive who worked at MGM and Caesars; and Kong Han Tan, Genting’s president and chief operating officer. Murren currently holds a leadership position with Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and is the chairman of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority in the United Arab Emirates. He is also involved with Cirque du Soleil and Playstudios. The new Board of Directors assumed their roles on Dec. 4, according to the news release. Dixon, a Las Vegas native, recently resigned from his position as CEO of Q Casino & Resort and Dubuque Racing Association in Iowa. He will begin his tenure as CEO of Resorts World Las Vegas on Jan. 16. “We have a bright future ahead of us, and I look forward to supporting and collaborating with Resorts World Las Vegas’s leadership alongside the board to continue showcasing the best the Strip has to offer,” Dixon said in the release. “We have an incredible team of talented and committed employees throughout the organization and are confident we can achieve amazing things together.” Scott Sibella worked under Murren Multiple industry sources believe Murren’s involvement with Resorts World could elicit a new round of questioning from Nevada gaming regulators, specifically as it relates to Scott Sibella, the former RWLV chief executive who was let go in 2023. Prior to joining Resorts World, Sibella was the president of the MGM Grand casino-hotel while Murren was overseeing MGM Resorts. Federal authorities charged Sibella with failing to properly report suspicious financial activities of a since-convicted illegal bookmaker during his tenure at MGM Grand. Sibella pleaded guilty earlier this year and was sentenced to one year of probation and a fine of less than $10,000. A 2019 email to Murren and MGM’s corporate compliance from high-stakes gambler Robert “R.J.” Cipriani , who goes by the moniker Robin Hood 702 on X, outlined potentially illegal happenings at MGM properties involving Sibella and other MGM managers. The email — which was provided to the Review-Journal — was also sent to Nevada gaming regulators and federal law enforcement. MGM’s chief legal counsel responded to Cipriani’s email, acknowledging receipt of the correspondence and suggested the company had “initiated an investigation into these serious allegations.” The current NGCB complaint against Resorts World coincides with Sibella’s time as chief executive of the property. The NGCB alleges that Resorts World, under Sibella, cultivated a culture in which “individuals with suspected and actual ties to illegal bookmaking, with histories of federal convictions related to illegal gambling businesses, and with a history of ties to organized crime,” were “welcomed” and enticed to gamble. In its 31-page complaint, the NGCB describes an “overall lack of control,” and “acceptance among Resorts World executives,” toward illicit behavior to such an extent that it resulted in the “perception and/or reality” that the casino is “an avenue to launder funds” and “further criminal activity.”

Thompson-Herro fight leads to ejections of multiple players and coaches in Heat's victory in HoustonHezbollah’s rocket barrage causes huge damage in northern, central Israel, injures eight; IDF hits back stronglyRepublican Senator Markwayne Mullin claims Donald Trump ’s pick for defense secretary was “falsely accused” of sexual assault , defending his claim days earlier that Pete Hegseth had just been “flirting” with his accuser. A recently released police report from the 2017 incident revealed that the woman, who has not been identified, told police that Hegseth blocked the door to stop her from leaving his hotel room and took her phone away before sexually assaulting her . Hegseth has maintained that the encounter was consensual. Earlier this week, the Oklahoma senator told reporters in the Capitol that he had read the police report: “If you read it, you can clearly see that it was two people flirting with each other.” On CNN Sunday, Mullin defended his previous claim and said that be believed Hegseth’s insistence that the encounter was consensual “was accurate,” he said. “There was no case here. He was falsely accused,” he added. “She was being the aggressor. Pete wasn’t even flirting with her. He was flirting with a different girl, and [the Jane Doe] was trying to flirt with Pete.” In the police report, another woman told authorities that Hegseth had invited her back to his hotel room, but she “politely declined.” CNN host Dana Bash pressed Mullin: “From your perspective, you believe his part of the story and not hers?” “I absolutely do. He wasn’t charged. He wasn’t even kind of charged in this. There was no crime committed. The police dropped everything,” he replied. While he did not face charges, Hegseth paid the woman in 2023 as part of a confidential settlement to prevent a potential lawsuit, which he labeled as baseless. “What’s unfortunate in today’s world is you can be accused of anything. And then especially if it’s something like this, you are automatically assumed to be guilty,” Mullin told Bash. Investigators in Monterey, California were first notified about the alleged incident by a nurse, who told police a patient came to the hospital requesting a sexual assault exam for an incident that had occurred five days earlier, according to the newly released police report. The patient, identified as Jane Doe in the report, said she struggled to remember what happened, but recalled being intoxicated — and even speculated “something may have been slipped into her drink” because of her memory lapses. Although she didn’t remember how, Jane Doe said she wound up in Hegseth’s hotel room. She told police that Hegseth “took her phone from her hands” and when she tried to leave his room, and that Hegseth “blocked the door with his body,” according to the report. She recalled “saying ‘no’ a lot” but “did not remember much else,” the report says. Meanwhile, Hegseth told police that when they went back to his room, the woman “sat down in the room and did not leave,” which he found “odd.” The sex was “consensual,” they had discussed him wearing a condom, and he “continuously asked Doe if she was [OK] because he did not want Doe to get in trouble,” according to the report. Hegseth is among several of Trump’s cabinet picks who has been accused of sexual misconduct. Most of the scrutiny has focused on now-former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, Trump’s initial pick for attorney general who later withdrew his name from consideration. Gaetz stepped aside after details emerged from two probes, including allegations that he had sexual encounters with a 17-year-old girl . Records obtained by The New York Times and ABC News suggest that Gaetz paid more than $10,000 to two women who testified before the a House Ethics Committee Following Trump’s election, a startling trend emerged: men started posting the phrase “your body, my choice” on women’s social media posts. Some of Trump’s own sexual assault accusers have also warned that his return to the White House marks a troubling time for survivors . “This is not a good time for survivors or victims,” one woman told The Independent in the days after Trump’s victory. “People are not going to speak up because, look, it’s falling on deaf ears. No one cares.” Trump has denied all the accusations against him. Trump’s transition team was reportedly caught by surprise when the details of the sexual assault allegation against Hegseth and the reports of his settlement became public.
