China warns Australia against taking back control of key port in Darwin

Landbridge Group, owned by Chinese billionaire Ye Cheng, has controlled Port Darwin, located in Australia's remote Northern Territory, since 2015 under a 99-year lease agreement. Australian authorities reached the $350m lease deal with Shandong province-based Landbridge in the hope the port's expansion would revitalise the economy of the largely rural territory. But Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledged to return the port to Australian control during campaigning ahead of national elections in May last year, saying the facility should be run by a local company or the government.

Once Again, US Ratchets Up Rhetoric Against Pakistan

The pattern by now is all too familiar. Once again, the US is ratcheting up its rhetoric against Pakistan.

Then came exchanges of bluster over the US unilateral action that took out Osama bin Laden. Now, the target of US ire is the cozy relationship between the Haqqani network and Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI.
