At the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, Chinese humanoid robots displayed extraordinary athletic abilities, from sprinting and football to boxing and tennis. Yet the spectacle also exposed a major weakness: many robots still struggle to handle unpredictable real-world situations. The record-breaking robot itself crashed into a padded wall after finishing its sprint and had to be carried away by human assistants.
So, is China’s humanoid robotics industry truly on the verge of a breakthrough,...

- Thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar rallied on August 25 to mark nine years since the mass exodus from Myanmar’s Rakhine State. The refugees marched through camp alleys before gathering at a field, chanting slogans and holding banners demanding a safe, voluntary and dignified return to Myanmar.
More than one million Rohingya refugees are living in sprawling camps in Bangladesh after hundreds of thousands fled Myanmar’s military crackdown in 2017. Repatriation efforts have repeatedly stalled, with refugees refusing to return because of concerns over safety, security, rights and citizenship. Bangladesh has said it will not forcibly send refugees back.
At the rally, Rohingya leaders urged the international community and the United Nations to help create conditions that would allow them to return home safely. Community leader Mohammad Forkan said refugees hoped this would be the last August 25 anniversary they observe in Bangladesh.<...

Mamdani said he does not support the event and described what he sees as the RSS movement’s “exclusionary vision” as “incredibly troubling”. However, the New York mayor also acknowledged that the city may not have the legal jurisdiction to cancel a privately organised event.
Mamdani, who is the first Indian-American mayor in New York City’s history, said his opposition was connected to his understanding of India as a pluralistic and secular republic where every person should feel a sense of belonging. His remarks came as interfaith and civil rights organisations protested outside New York City Hall and demanded that the Bhagwat event be cancelled.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the US policy was not simply about Iran, arguing that forcing banks, companies, ports and governments to follow Washington’s demands or face retaliation undermines international law and the UN Charter.
The comments came as tensions continued around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump said the US Navy had removed or detonated all mines in international waters in the strait and warned Iran against placing new mines.
At the same time, Iran and Oman announced discussions on a temporary navigational corridor through Hormuz, including a joint project to clear mines. The two countries said technical negotiations would continue towa...

The removal took effect after a 45-day congressional review period, triggered when President Donald Trump formally notified Congress on July 8 of his intention to rescind the decades-old designation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the action was taken in recognition of the positive actions taken and further commitments by al-Sharaa to fully distance Syria from acts of international terrorism. Al-Sharaa welcomed the decision on X, saying Syria was tearing a page from its painful past to launch itself into the realm of development, reconstruction and building.

- Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan has revealed what he described as major gaps in Pakistan’s understanding of the situation during Operation Sindoor, particularly in the maritime domain.
Chauhan said Pakistan’s daily briefings reportedly provided information about the movement of an Indian carrier battle group in the Arabian Sea. However, when he checked those claims with India’s Western Naval Command, the actual position of the carrier battle group was reportedly 100 to 300 nautical miles away from the locations being cited in Pakistani briefings.
Chauhan said this suggested that Pakistan was either receiving incorrect information about India’s carrier battle group or that its intelligence was not accurate. He attributed this, in part, to Pakistan’s reliance on foreign sources for maritime information.
He also pointed to the absence of Pakistan’s long-range maritime aircraft during the operation, saying “their long-...

Chauhan explained that Indian forces had sent several loitering missions toward Sargodha before the strikes. Kirana Hills is located around 10 kilometres north of Sargodha. According to Chauhan, the loitering missions were searching for radars in and around Sargodha and could remain airborne for around two hours. If a mission failed to detect a target during that period, it could eventually descend and hit somewhere.
Addressing why smoke was reportedly seen around Kirana Hills, Chauhan said, “It must have come and hit one of those hills,” suggesting this could explain the images circulated by Pakistani media.

- A new Pew Research Center survey of over 42,000 people across 36 countries reveals how global perceptions of India are shifting. While Sri Lanka, Kenya and the UK show strong favorability toward India, Pakistan remains overwhelmingly negative, and Bangladesh's favorable view has dropped sharply since Sheikh Hasina's ouster. In the US, only 45% view India favorably, among the lowest ratings since 2008, with a partisan and generational divide evident. Meanwhile, Europe, especially Germany, is warming up to India, driven by growing numbers of Indian students and skilled migrants. The episode explores what these numbers reveal about India's evolving global standing and perception.

- China Beats the Chip Blockade? How Beijing Is Closing the Tech Gap | Statecraft With Geeta Mohan

- Description
- China was supposed to be held back by the Western semiconductor blockade. Instead, Chinese chipmakers are finding ways to squeeze more performance from older machines, redesign chips, stack multiple chips and build a larger domestic technology supply chain. On this edition of Statecraft With Geeta Mohan, we examine how China is working around restrictions designed to limit its access to the most advanced chipmaking technology.
China has not defeated TSMC or ASML, and the gap in advanced semiconductor manufacturing remains significant. But sanctions have not stopped Chinese progress. From SMIC’s multi-patterning approach to Huawei’s chip design strategies and advanced packaging, Beijing is trying to achieve more without the machines it cannot easily buy.

- Description
- The West tried to slow China’s rise by cutting off access to the world’s most advanced semiconductor technology. US and European restrictions have limited China’s access to cutting-edge chip-making machines, software and equipment, especially the extreme ultraviolet lithography technology dominated by ASML. The goal was clear: keep China behind the technological frontier and preserve the West’s advantage in advanced chips.

But China has found another route.
Instead of relying entirely on the newest machines, Chinese companies are pushing older equipment harder, repeating manufacturing steps, redesigning chips, stacking components and building more of the semiconductor supply chain at home. The result is a race built around adaptation rather than access.
At the same time, China is making str...

- Something unusual unfolded over Pakistan between August 18 and August 21, as Turkish military transport aircraft conducted a concentrated series of flights into multiple Pakistani airbases. Heavy Turkish C-130 Hercules and A400M Atlas aircraft were tracked arriving at locations including Nur Khan, Masroor and Murid.
At almost the same time, Chinese Y-20 military transport aircraft were also seen arriving in Pakistan.
So what was being delivered?
There has been no official cargo manifest from Ankara or Islamabad. But defence analysts have pointed to the possibility of advanced drones, loitering munitions, counter-drone technology and air-defence components being moved into Pakistan.
The timing is particularly significant. Just days earlier, Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, creating a new trilateral security framework.

Refugees marched through camp alleys before gathering in a field, chanting slogans and holding banners demanding a safe, voluntary and dignified return home. They urged the UN and international community to help create conditions for repatriation, while calling for justice for past atrocities and guarantees of their rights, safety and citizenship in Myanmar. Community leader Mohammad Forkan said refugees hope this will be their last anniversary in Bangladesh, as more than a million Rohingya remain in overcrowded camps nearly a decade after fleeing.

- Description
- The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping U.S. visa crackdown that could see the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreign nationals revoked. The move targets people who entered the United States on B1 and B2 visas between 2016 and 2026 and later sought asylum.
If implemented, this could become the largest single mass revocation of U.S. visas in history. The State Department says the number will remain dynamic as more cases are identified, with revocations potentially carried out on a rolling basis.
The development also has a major India angle. Indians are among the largest beneficiaries of the H-1B visa programme, and the Trump administration has separately proposed a $103,265 fee for new H-1B petitions. Together, these measures highlight the growing scrutiny facing foreign nationals seeking to live, work or remain in the U.S.
The administration has already revoked around 175,000 visas over the past 18 months, including cases inv...

- Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah, who swept to power in March riding a historic Gen Z wave that defeated four-time PM KP Sharma Oli on his own turf and gave the Rastriya Swatantra Party a sweeping majority, has seen his political image erode dramatically in just 150 days in office. The same generation that celebrated him as a break from Nepal's revolving-door politics returned to Kathmandu's streets in July demanding his resignation. A series of self-inflicted crises overlapped in rapid succession. In April, Shah enforced strict customs duties on goods brought from Indian border markets before quickly reversing course amid protests. In June, a careless parliamentary remark suggesting Nepal had crossed into Indian territory triggered nationwide protests under slogans of sovereignty protection, handing his rivals a unifying cause.
Almost simultaneously, RSP chairman Rabi Lamichhane received an unusually warm reception in India, meeting PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah an...
