Every time you open a website, your browser quietly shares a surprising amount of information. Much of this data can be used to identify and track you — even if you think you’re browsing privately. You leave traces of yourself online in many ways: through data you share intentionally, information you reveal unknowingly, and the technical details your browser automatically transmits. Even with privacy tools like a VPN, you’re still far less anonymous than you may believe. Your computer constantly exchanges details with the servers that make up the web. While most of this information isn’t considered personally identifiable, it…

China’s largest online shopping extravaganza, traditionally held on 11 November, has arrived early this year. In a bid to stimulate consumer activity amid a sluggish economy, retailers have launched Singles’ Day sales nearly five weeks ahead of schedule, starting in mid-October.

China has identified a major vulnerability in Donald Trump’s trade strategy — rare earth minerals. Last week, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued a statement known as “Announcement No. 62 of 2025.” What appeared to be a routine government update quickly sent shockwaves through the delicate tariff truce between Beijing and Washington. The document introduced strict new limits on China’s rare earth exports, reinforcing the nation’s control over these critical minerals and reminding the U.S. just how much power China holds in the ongoing trade tensions. China dominates global rare earth processing — materials that are vital for manufacturing everything…
