In the last few years, China’s government has promoted increasingly conservative social values, encouraging women to focus on raising children. Ueno’s popularity reflects a surge in interest in women’s rights, said Leta Hong Fincher, a research associate at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute who has written about gender discrimination and feminism in China.

China's international trade council has formally asked the United States to "carefully consider" rules that ban or restrict U.S. investments in China's tech sector, state television reported on Friday. U.S. President Joe Biden signed the executive order last month which prohibits or restricts investments in Chinese entities involved in semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies and certain artificial intelligence systems. State television said the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which is supervised by the Ministry of Commerce, said the order sets "vague and broad restrictions" on investors and transaction types, and does not differentiate between military and civilian purposes.

It is set to become the highest guaranteed base salary in the industry - and the current minimum hourly rate of $15.50 (£12.68) was already one of the biggest in the country. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law surrounded by cheering workers, and dismissed assumptions that fast food jobs are meant for teenagers looking for experience.
CHICAGO (AP) — Connor Bedard played in his first preseason game with the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night, and fans of the Original Six franchise were ready. So was Bedard, who had two assists in Chicago's 2-1 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. “I felt pretty good and comfortable and stuff, but I think I could do a lot better,” Bedard said. “I don't know if there was a surprise. Obviously less room, but that's nothing I didn't expect, so just kind of get used to it here.” The 18-year-old

Sony Group is increasing its focus on the virtual production business where it is seeing market-beating growth, a company executive said, riding on the strength of the Japanese entertainment conglomerate's technology. The business, which offers virtual production facilities to filmmakers and broadcasters, involves using a wall of light-emitting diode (LED) panels displaying images - a science-fiction landscape or a downtown cityscape - that are integrated into the scene as it is shot. Sony sees its edge from the company's strength in hardware - the conglomerate makes everything from image sensors for cameras to the supersized LED video walls - and moviemaking expertise as a major player in Hollywood.
Mergers and acquisitions activity globally showed few signs of improvement but a rebound in volumes in the United States - the world's biggest investment banking market - gave dealmakers hope of a sustained recovery in the near term.

The swift fall of the Armenian-majority enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijani troops and exodus of much of its population has stunned the large Armenian diaspora around the world. The separatist ethnic Armenian government in Nagorno-Karabakh on Thursday announced that it was dissolving and that the unrecognized republic will cease to exist by year’s end – a seeming death knell for its 30-year de-facto independence. Azerbaijan, which routed the region’s Armenian forces in a lightning offensive last week, has pledged to respect the rights of the territory’s Armenian community.
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — Slovakia holds an early parliamentary election on Saturday that pits populist former Prime Minister Robert Fico, who campaigned on a clear pro-Russia and anti-American message, against a liberal pro-West newcomer.

More than a year after Algeria launched a pilot program to teach English in elementary schools, the country is hailing it as a success and expanding it in a move that reflects a widening linguistic shift underway in former French colonies throughout Africa. Students returning to third and fourth grade classrooms this fall will participate in two 45-minute English classes each week as the country creates new teacher training programs at universities and eyes more transformational changes in the years ahead. “Teaching English is a strategic choice in the country’s new education policy,” Education Minister Abdelkrim Belabed said last week, lauding the move as an immense success.
