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.

Crypto lender Celsius defends bitcoin mining plans as bankruptcy kicks off

Bitcoin mining is essential to the company's reorganization efforts, according to cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network, who made the statement during a Manhattan bankruptcy court hearing on Monday.


headquartered in New Jersey U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn gave Celsius permission to spend $3.7 million on building a new bitcoin mining facility and $1.5 million on customs and fees on incoming bitcoin mining equipment.


The firm, which stopped other commercial activities including its cryptocurrency loans, might find a method to pay back consumers whose funds it had frozen in the weeks before to declaring bankruptcy, according to Patrick Nash, a lawyer representing Celsius.


The mining industry "has the potential to be pretty profitable in a scenario where the crypto market recovers," Nash said.


On July 13, Celsius declared bankruptcy, citing a $1.19 billion balance sheet shortfall. Following a significant cryptocurrency market sell-off caused by the May collapse of prominent coins terraUSD and luna, the business model of crypto lenders came under criticism.


Due to the significant volatility, Celsius' assets decreased, and its decision to freeze client accounts was an effort to reduce losses and stabilize its operations, according to Nash.


In the weeks leading up to the Chapter 11 filing, some customers threatened and sent hate mail to a few firm workers. Celsius is hoping that the mining endeavor will help it mend those relationships.


However, a group of equity investors hinted to a potential conflict over ownership of the bitcoin mining businesses. According to Dennis Dunne, the investors' attorney, they can argue that the freshly created currencies need to be given to all Celsius creditors rather than deemed the property of the UK company that acquired the money for the mining activity.


Customers could complain to Celsius' expenditure on bitcoin mining companies at a time when their own financial recovery is in question, according to the bankruptcy monitor of the U.S. Department of Justice.
