Trump Says US 'Wants To Help China, Not Hurt It', Days After Tariff Threat

President Donald Trump said Sunday the United States wants to help China, not hurt it, striking a conciliatory tone days after threatening an additional 100 per cent tariff on the world's second-largest economy. Trump's statements on Friday as well as his threat to cancel a meeting with Xi later this month sent Wall Street stocks tumbling into negative territory as traders worried the trade war between Washington and Beijing could reignite. "The USA wants to help China, not hurt it!!!" Trump said in Sunday's post on Truth Social, adding that "respected President Xi (Jinping)... doesn't want Depression for his country." Trump on Friday said that he would impose the extra levies from November 1 in response to what he called "extraordinarily aggressive" new Chinese export curbs on the rare-earths industry. Beijing, in turn, accused Washington of acting unfairly, with its Ministry of Commerce on Sunday calling Trump's tariff threat a ...

Work Culture Difference Between India And Europe Shocks Redditor, Post Viral

An employee working for a European firm has gone viral on social media for sharing a post about the work culture difference between India and Europe. In a now-viral Reddit post titled, "Work Culture Shock: India vs Europe", the user posted a screenshot of a Teams conversation where the European colleagues nonchalantly explained their plans of being absent from work.

One of the workers said they were going to take a leave on Monday, followed by work from home (WFH),/personal time for the rest of the week.

"Good morning! Heads up on my schedule next week. I am off Monday, then WFH/personal time the rest of the week. I have my 3 kids, as my wife is out of town. I'll keep the team posted if I cannot attend individual meetings," wrote the employee, while another simply informed: "Sorry team, I cannot make today."

The Indian employee who posted the screenshot asked: "Can we Indians post like this in Teams?"

'Culture difference'

As the post gained significant traction online, a section of social media users marvelled at the simplicity of communication in Europe, whilst others pointed out how such an arrangement would not work in India.

"It's not just a work culture difference, it's the actual culture difference. Indians are spoon-fed and fear-driven from the beginning, not interest-driven," said one user while another added: "I work for a UK-based company, have a British manager and this is exactly how we work. Don't even have to give a reason for taking the leaves."

A third commented: "See the reason why the toxic culture is so prevalent in India because a lot of Indians are enablers. It's the harshest truth. Many people are simply people pleasers and they think going the extra mile, working with fever and idk what not will gain them a positive image."

A fourth said: "Europeans can say that because their labour laws genuinely protect employees. The less said about Indian laws, the better."

"Khala Ka Ghar Nahi...": Akhtar On India Having It Easy In Asia Cup Final

"We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well. Ye khala ji ka ghar nahi hai jaha pe India...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
