China's COVID infections hit record as economic outlook darkens

By Bernard Orr and Martin Quin PollardBEIJING -China reported record high COVID-19 infections on Thursday, with cities nationwide imposing localised lockdowns, mass testing and other curbs that are fuelling frustration and darkening the outlook for the world’s second largest economy. Nomura estimates that more than a fifth of China’s GDP is under lockdown, a share bigger than the British economy. China recently began loosening some norms on mass tests and quarantine, as it looks to avoid catch-all measures such as city-wide lockdowns. Many cities have returned to mass testing, which China had hoped to cut back as costs rise. Others, including Beijing, Shanghai and the Hainan island resort city of Sanya, have limited movements of recent arrivals.

Ukraine war: North Korea 'covertly' shipping artillery shells to Russia, US claims

North Korea is covertly shipping a "significant number" of artillery shells to Russia in support of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, US authorities claim. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday the US believes North Korea is "trying to make it appear as though they're being sent to countries in the Middle East or North Africa." Kirby said North Korea "is covertly supplying" the ammunition to Russia but that "we're still monitoring this to determine whether the shipments are actually received." Kirby insisted the North Korean shipments are "not going to change the course of the war," citing Western efforts to resupply the Ukrainian military. In July, North Korea became the only nation aside from Russia and Syria to recognise the so-called independence of the territories -- Donetsk and Luhansk -- further aligning with Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.

Biden says U.S., Japan, S.Korea are 'more aligned than ever' on North Korea

By Nandita BosePHNOMPENH -The United States, Japan and South Korea are “more aligned than ever” on North Korea’s “provocative behaviour,” U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday, as his national security adviser promised a joint response if Pyongyang carries out a seventh nuclear test. Speaking in Cambodia after a trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, Biden called their countries “critical allies” that share the United States’ concerns about North Korea’s missile tests. Yoon said North Korea’s recent provocations showed its regime’s “nature against humanitarianism”, while Kishida said its actions were “unprecedented”. “I look forward to strengthening the coordination between the U.S., South Korea and Japan to respond firmly” to North Korea’s actions, he added. In October, North Korea test fired a ballistic missile farther than ever before, sending it soaring over Japan for the first time in five years and prompting a warning for residents there to take cover.

NATO's chief urges South Korea to step up military support for Ukraine

By Soo-hyang Choi and Josh SmithSEOUL -NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged South Korea on Monday to increase military support to Ukraine, citing other countries that have changed their policy of not providing weapons to countries in conflict following Russia’s invasion. Speaking at the Chey Institute for Advanced Studies in Seoul, he thanked South Korea for its non-lethal aid to Ukraine, but urged it to do more, adding there is an “urgent need” for ammunition. “I urge the Republic of Korea to continue and to step up on the specific issue of military support,” he said. South Korea has signed major deals providing hundreds of tanks, aircraft and other weapons to NATO member Poland since Russia invaded Ukraine. Last year South Korea opened its first diplomatic mission to NATO, vowing to deepen cooperation on non-proliferation, cyber defence, counter-terrorism, disaster response and other security areas.
