On February 14, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a speech and answered questions at the "China Session." When asked about Chinas role in resolving regional conflicts, particularly the Ukraine issue, Wang Yi stated that Chinas position is clear: all regional hotspots should seek political solutions through dialogue and consultation, and the same applies to the Ukraine issue. However, China is not a party to the conflict, and the decision-making power is not in Chinas hands. What we can do is to promote peace talks. We have dispatched special envoys to mediate and, through various channels, emphasized to all parties that a ceasefire should be implemented as soon as possible, and that everyone should return to the negotiating table.On February 14, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, attended the Munich Security Conference, delivered a speech at the "China Session," and answered questions from the audience. Wang Yi emphasized that the erroneous remarks by Japanese leaders on the Taiwan issue exposed Japans undying ambition to invade and colonize Taiwan and the lingering specter of reviving militarism. Japan launched its invasion of China and attacked Pearl Harbor under the pretext of a so-called "crisis and existential crisis." The lessons of history are still fresh and must be heeded. If Japan does not repent, it will inevitably repeat the same mistakes. Good people should be vigilant. First and foremost, the Japanese people must be reminded not to be blinded and coerced by far-right forces and extremist ideologies again. All peace-loving countries should also warn Japan: if it chooses to go back to its old ways, it will only lead to its own destruction.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We and our partners will use all policy tools at our disposal to continue to hold Russia accountable.Joint statement from the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands: We further express our concern that Russia has not destroyed all of its chemical weapons.The United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands issued a joint statement regarding the death of Alexei Navalny.

Desalination Plant in California Suffers Setback With Recommendation For Denial

The commission, which has the authority to reverse staff decisions but does so infrequently, is due to vote on the project on May 12.


Desalination, environmentalists argue, annihilates ocean life, consumes excessive amounts of money and energy, and will soon be rendered obsolete by water recycling.


Poseidon Water, the infrastructure subsidiary of Canada's Brookfield Asset Management, is proposing the desalination facility near Huntington Beach, just south of Los Angeles.


Poseidon has been attempting to secure approval for the project for more than two decades, spending an estimated $100 million in the process.


With the Western states of the United States suffering from a prolonged drought, officials appeared to be on the verge of approving the Huntington Beach facility. Last year, the business expressed sufficient confidence to discuss breaking ground on the $1.4 billion factory by the end of 2022.


Poseidon has operated a comparable facility in Carlsbad since 2015, although it was permitted locally prior to the state enacting regulations governing desalination plants.
