The Biden administration is cracking down on de minimis shipments, closing a loophole that allows packages under $800 to avoid import duties and border scrutiny. Observers say this targets Chinese-linked companies, in particular Temu and Shein.
But this is just one of the measures that could curb Chinese shopping apps. The US government is also investigating allegations of data collection and forced labour. Meanwhile, environmentalists say that Chinese shopping apps are responsible for waste and emissions. China, however, argues that these are just further moves by Washington to enact unfair trade protections, aimed at limiting the growth of Chinese companies. Is the US-China trade war gunning for online shopping apps?

To find out the reason behind the lack of whales in Singapore waters, Thet and Vic speak to a marine research expert.
While the death, disposal and preservation of Jubi Lee’s remains were well-documented, Willy did not face the same fate. Disposed somewhere along Lorong Halus, Willy’s jaw bones were the only thing preserved by Singapore’s natural history museum.

As the number of elderly living with Alzheimer’s disease increases, the number of elderly losing their way each day has also spiked over the years.
Su Xiao, a retired soldier, co-founded Beijing Voluntary Emergency Rescue Service Centre in 2016, recruiting volunteers to help families find their missing elderly. Due to the unpredictability of dementia patients, the team must scour through large amounts of surveillance footage to trace and catch up with the footsteps of these elderly. For the past eight years, more than 500 volunteers have joined in the search and the team has reunited more than 1000 families.
One night, however, Su receives devastating news. A 60-year-old volunteer is hospitalised after walking a total of 38 km in search of a missing elderly, and that was the last they heard from the elderly volunteer.

Many parents who lost their children spent years scouring remote villages in physical searches that yielded few results. However, things soon changed with the emergence of popular social platforms like Douyin. These parents leverage social media to quickly disseminate information about their missing children and collect leads from concerned netizens for their searches.
At the same time, the advanced facial recognition technology enabled the police to narrow down searches effectively, leading to multiple successful discoveries of missing children. But miracles seem to have forsaken some. Du Xiaohua’s son went missing 13 years ago, he has been searching relentlessly ever since. He often goes on long, tedious search trips to verify the leads he has gathered online, hoping not just to uncover his lost child but also other missing children.

The Exiles reveals untold stories of love and loss during an era of racially motivated deportations from post-war UK and Australia.
At the end of the Second World War, on opposite sides of the world, Asian men were forcibly deported from their adopted homes. These men, who served valiantly for the Allies during wartime, found themselves unwanted and discarded in a new era of peace. Faced with a hostile immigration system, these men were forced onto ships and deported, in some cases in secret and unknown to their own families.
The Exiles follows the descendants of these men as they reflect on seismic events from the past which still resonate today. These are poignant and agonising stories of deception and betrayal, and of love and resilience.

Whenever he spots a car breakdown, Aaron feels a tug to stop and offer assistance, often helping two or three motorists a month.

He comes prepared with safety cones and equipment, helping change tyres, jump-start cars, and ensure drivers stay safe. His wife, Bobilia, often documents these moments, and even steps in to help direct traffic sometimes. For Aaron, it’s never about the recognition but the satisfaction of doing the right thing.

The Malaysian states of Penang, Selangor and Johor are leading the charge. Penang wants to tap into the front end chip manufacturing supply chain, which involves wafer fabrication, advanced testing and packaging. Selangor is positioning itself as a potential powerhouse in the global integrated circuit design industry. Meanwhile, the southern state of Johor is now the largest data centre market in Malaysia, driven by a boom in investments by multinational corporations with a regional presence. It also ranks as one of the largest markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The success of attracting billions of dollars in investments comes with challenges.

More adult children are embracing nursing homes as a viable way to care for their ageing parents and grandparents - rather than as a last resort for the elderly.
But with a nationwide shortage of eldercare staff and affordable facilities, most top-notch private nursing homes remain out of reach, while cheaper public ones have months-long waiting lists. The situation is even more dire in rural areas, which have only 1.7 million beds for over 100 million elderly people.
As Beijing plays catch up in boosting the country’s eldercare sector, will nursing homes continue to grow in acceptance among Chinese families? Or will the social stigma of using them persist?
