Jannik Sinner was appealed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Montreal-based body announced Saturday. WADA said it is seeking a ban of one to two years for the U.S. Open champion but indicated that it does not plan to back date an eventual ban — which would mean that Sinner could keep his second Grand Slam title if he is found guilty. The announcement was made while Sinner was on court against Roman Safiullin at the China Open in Beijing.

Wuhan shipyard, one of China's most recent nuclear-powered assault submarines sank, a US official confirmed, as per reports by Business Insider. The Chinese submarine, which was recorded in the Wuchang shipyard in Wuhan in late May, is believed to be the newest Zhou-class ship. However, it sank at some point after that. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the occurrence. Big, floating cranes were close to the pier in June, according to satellite photos taken by Planet Labs after it sank. It's thought that China has been trying to recover the ship. It was the first submarine of its type to sink. Thomas Shugart, a retired US submarine officer and adjunct senior scholar at the Center for American Security think tank, initially shared pictures of cranes gathered around an object in the water on X in July, near the location where the new submarine had previously been. He also mentioned the oil containment boom and conjectured that odd things were going on. Shugart posted online satellite photos from July 5 that revealed the cranes had moved, presumably completing the presumed salvage operation.

Kurt Campbell travelled to the Solomon Islands to counter Beijing's influence in the South Pacific country, he quickly saw just how far China would go to spread its message. The Biden administration's Asia czar woke up one morning in 2022 to a long article in the local press about the US running chemical and biological labs in Ukraine, a claim that Washington calls an outright lie. Started by Russia, the false and incendiary claim was vigorously amplified by China's vast overseas propaganda apparatus. It was another example of «clearly effective Russian and Chinese disinformation,» Campbell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July. Two years later, the claim still reverberates online, demonstrating China's sprawling effort to reshape global perceptions.

Antony Blinken underscored strong U.S. concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industrial base in talks on Friday with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, saying Beijing's talk of peace in Ukraine «doesn't add up.» In a meeting with Wang on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Blinken said he also raised China's «dangerous and destabilizing actions» in the South China Sea and discussed improving communication between their militaries. Blinken told a press conference he and Wang also discussed ways to disrupt the flow of drugs into the United States, and the risks posed by artificial intelligence.
