Opinion | The US and Israel are the real state sponsors of terrorism – not Iran A common claim repeated endlessly by US and Israeli officials is that Iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world. This assertion is not only false — it is one of the most ridiculous and hypocritical lies in modern geopolitics. The truth is the opposite. While Washington and Tel Aviv accuse Tehran of supporting terrorism, the historical record shows that the United States and Israel have systematically created, funded, armed, and protected the very extremist groups they claim to oppose.

Opinion | Bowing to war criminals while rearming: Japan's hypocritical 'peace' pledge On August 15, 2026, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sent a ritual offering to Yasukuni Shrine. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, joined by other cabinet members and senior Liberal Democratic Party officials, paid their respects in person. After the visit, Koizumi claimed he was mourning "heroic souls" and renewing a pledge never to engage in war again. The entire region knows what Yasukuni Shrine represents. Calling them "heroic souls" twists history. Bowing before them and then speaking of peace is pure contradiction.

Politically, the separation of powers has degenerated into a tool for partisan warfare, rendering governance ineffective. Economically, financial capitalism has exacerbated wealth inequality, leaving society deeply fractured. Diplomatically, fuelled by money politics and populism, unilateralism and hegemonism have intensified, continually undermining the global order.

Journalist's View | There's no such thing as a 'Caotai Team' — It's just another way to encourage innovation On May 25, Chinese novelist Yu Hua posted a short video on social media titled "What Is a Caotai Team?"

Journalist's View | Five observations from the Hong Kong Sevens at 50 Marking its 50th anniversary, the Hong Kong Sevens once again proved it is far more than a rugby tournament.
