Indiana governor Eric Holcomb became the latest United States politician to visit Taiwan amid rising tensions with China. House secretary Nancy Pelosi was the first high-ranking official from the US to visit the country in decades and a congressional delegation also met President Tsai Ing-wen during a visit last week. "I appreciate the warm welcome to Taiwan from Douglas Hsu, Taiwan Director of North American Affairs," Holcomb tweeted on Sunday along with a photo of him and Hsu.

According to the statement released by Holcomb’s office, the Republican governor will be conducting an "economic development trip" in Taiwan and South Korea following the signing of the CHIPS Act (which allowed massive investments in the semiconductor chip manufacturing industry).

The statement further stated that Holcomb will meet with the Taiwanese President on Monday, and they will be discussing "economic, trade, technological and cultural collaborations".

Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan caused a massive uproar in China who accused the United States of stoking tensions in the region. In retaliation to the visit, China conducted a number of military drills near the Taiwan Strait border and a number of aircrafts even breached the country’s airspace.

However, the United States have maintained that they are sticking to the "One China" policy but also made it clear that Taiwan has their support, and the two countries continue to maintain unofficial ties. According to CNN, Holcomb became the first ruling US governor to visit the country since 2019.

"The delegation will focus on strengthening Indiana's economic and academic partnerships and reinforcing the state's commitment to innovation, as well as committing to working together to build the economy of the future on an international scale," his office told CNN.

Indian external affairs minister S Jaishankar accused China of disregarding the border pacts and said that the stand-off at the Galwan Valley has been extremely detrimental to the relations between the two nations.

“We have agreements with China going back to the 1990s which prohibits bringing mass troops in the border area. They have disregarded that. You know what happened in the Galwan valley. That problem has not been resolved and that has been clearly casting a shadow,” he was quoted by ANI.

“So, from our point of view, we have been very clear that we have to build the relationship and there has to be mutual respect. Each one will have their interests and we need to be sensitive to what the concerns are for others for a relationship to be built,” he added.

The standoff has been continuing in the Galwan Valley since May 2020 when the Chinese army made headway in multiple areas in the region. The situation got worse in June that year when the armies from both countries were involved in violent clashes resulting in a number of casualties.

Data security has become a major concern in the recent past and new research suggests that the applications on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok’s iPhone apps are able to track anything that the user types in the browsers. Researcher and developer Felix Krause also said that it will not be difficult for the apps to track sensitive data like credit card information or passwords.

Any link that is opened in the in-app browser will be vulnerable to a data breach as the applications are capable of storing the information typed in by the user. As a result, both TikTok and Meta applications can easily store credit card information, shipping address and other related details.

TikTok has come under a lot of fire lately due to data breach concerns as Federal Communications Commission commissioner Brendan Carr called on Apple and Google to remove it from app stores.

“TikTok collects everything from search and browsing histories to keystroke patterns and biometric identifiers, including faceprints… and voiceprints,” Carr wrote in an open letter according to New York Post.

Carr called it a “sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests extensive amounts of personal and sensitive data” and warned that this can turn into a serious threat to the national security.

In the research paper, Krause explained that TikTok “subscribes to every keystroke (text inputs) happening on third party websites rendered inside the TikTok app.” On the other hand, Instagram is able to access user information by “injecting a JavaScript code into every website shown”.

TikTok accused Krause of making incorrect statements about the company. “The researcher specifically says the JavaScript code does not mean our app is doing anything malicious, and admits they have no way to know what kind of data our in-app browser collects,” the spokesperson said.

Meta and TikTok can track everything on in-app browsers, new research claims

A new species of fish found in an Arctic iceberg has left researchers fascinated because of its looks and its abilities to glow green. The scientists, who found the variety of snailfish, described it as “extra-terrestrial-looking” and said that the anti-freeze proteins present in their blood allows them to glow bright green. David Gruber, a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History and a biology professor at City University of New York's Baruch College, headed the study.

"The snailfish was one of the few species of fish living among the icebergs, in the crevices. It was surprising that such a tiny fish could live in such an extremely cold environment without freezing."

"Antifreeze proteins stick to the surface of smaller ice crystals and slow or prevent them from growing into larger, and more dangerous, crystals,” Gruber said in his research paper.

"Fish from both the North and South Poles independently evolved these proteins," he added.

The discovery, which was made off the coast of Greenland, is a clear indication of the evolutionary changes in marine organisms. The glow is considered to be a feature which was developed by the species to maintain body its body temperature in the harsh conditions of the Arctic region.

&nbsp;"The fact that these different antifreeze proteins have evolved independently in a number of different — and not closely related — fish lineages show[s] how critical they are to the survival of these organisms in these extreme habitats," John Sparks, co-author of the study, told Live Science.

Walmart, which is one of the largest private employers in the United States, has decided to include abortion coverage for its employees. In the aftermath of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, they have decided to add abortions to their already existing healthcare plans.

According to a memo sent to the employees, the healthcare plans will now include abortion for employees “when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability”. The plans will be “effective immediately”, it further stated.

Earlier, the company policy stated that abortions were covered under healthcare only “when the health of the mother would be in danger if the fetus were carried to term, the fetus could not survive the birthing process, or death would be imminent after birth”, according to Associated Press.

However, Walmart top official Donna Morris said that they have changed the regulations completely and they will also provide “travel support” to workers living in states where abortion is outlawed.

The memo quoted Morris as saying that the changes were accepted by the company after “listening to our associates about what’s important to them” and she added that “we strive to provide quality, competitive and accessible health coverage that supports you and your families”.

The headquarters of Walmart is currently in the state of Arkansas – one of the places where abortion was completely banned. However, the company has decided to invest in a facility that “provides employees fertility services, including in vitro fertilization” and also provide surrogacy support.

The world has been waiting for 6G technology but according to Chinese scientists, it can end up affecting our brain cells, The terahertz band of radio waves, which are capable of boosting any smartphone’s bandwidth to 1 terabit per second, resulted in accelerated growth of brain cells in lab rats. The neurons were found to increase by around 150 per cent when exposed to the radiation.

While the observation initially confused the researchers, it was concluded that although the brain cells were increased at a rapid speed, they were able to remain healthy. As a result, the scientists will be studying them further to develop “therapies in order to treat brain diseases, the study said.

“The safety of terahertz radiation protocol is a top concern,” Li Xiaoli, the lead scientist of the study wrote in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Acta Physica Sinica.

The study was supported by the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University, and they have decided to continue it for better understanding.

“Abnormal neuron development and the resulting abnormal neural network structure can lead to the occurrence of various psychiatric and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism and Parkinson’s disease,” the institution told South China Morning Post.

The paper stated that the exposed brain cells will stop growing after a point and at present, the time frame was believed to be two days. Professor Liu Jianxin with the Institute of Brain Science at Xian Jiaotong University, Shaanxi province, also found some positive effects of the 6G radio waves.

The National Health Authority of China has said that the nation will be discouraging abortions in order to boost its birth rate. China currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world and the authorities are looking to remedy the situation by implementing new measures like tax reliefs and making fertility treatment more accessible. According to the NHA website, the authorities are also working towards creating a number of “infant care services and family friendly workplaces”.

According to official figures released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), China currently has a fertility rate of 1.16 – much below the 2.1 OECD standard for a stable population.

As a result, the Chinese authorities have decided to create public awareness in order to "prevent unintended pregnancy and reducing abortions that are not medically necessary." They have also decided to invest in medical technology and make IVF more accessible and financially viable.

China had a strict one-child policy between the years 1980 and 2015 resulting in a massive demographic issue. While the policy was changed to two-child in 2016 and three children for married couples in 2021, the situation has not changed much when it comes to the birth rate.

The WHO data further said that around 9.5 million abortions were carried out in China between 2015 and 2019. On the other hand, the number of new births has dropped over the last ten years.

As a result, China is looking to boost the birth rate by "promoting the long-term balanced development of the population” and various financial and social benefits.

As a result, the Chinese authorities have decided to create public awareness in order to "prevent unintended pregnancy and reducing abortions that are not medically necessary." They have also decided to invest in medical technology and make IVF more accessible and financially viable. China had a strict one-child policy between the years 1980 and 2015 resulting in a massive demographic issue. While the policy was changed to two-child in 2016 and three children for married couples in 2021, the situation has not changed much when it comes to the birth rate.

On the other hand, the number of new births has dropped over the last ten years. As a result, China is looking to boost the birth rate by "promoting the long-term balanced development of the population” and various financial and social benefits.

United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan has caused a massive uproar in China. In the aftermath of the incident, the Chinese military conducted a number of military drills with airplanes breaching the Taiwan border on multiple occasions. A number of world leaders have already reacted to the developments and Russian President Vladimir Putin became the latest one.

"The visit was not just a trip by a single irresponsible politician, but part of a purposeful, conscious U.S. strategy to destabilize and sow chaos in the region and the world", he said according to Reuters.

In the past, Russia has spoken about US trying to create an alliance against Russia on the global stage in order to maintain “Western hegemony and neo-colonialism”. Putin stuck to the narrative on Monday and suggested that the security pact can be a precursor to massive global conflict.

"We also see that the collective West is seeking to extend its bloc system to the Asia-Pacific region by analogy with NATO in Europe. For this purpose, aggressive military-political alliances are being formed, such as AUKUS and others," the Russian President added during his speech in Moscow.
