China This Week

China: Detects cases of COVID-19 sub-variant JN.1
On 16 December, The Straits Times reported that China has identified seven cases of the COVID-19 sub-variant JN.1. It is according to the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration. Although the prevalence of JN.1 is currently described as “very low,” authorities acknowledge the possibility of it becoming the dominant strain in China, particularly due to factors like imported cases. In the US, estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicated that JN.1 accounts for over one-fifth of all cases. The CDC suggests that JN.1 may be more transmissible and adapt at evading immune responses, leading to a rise in its proportion of total cases. JN.1 is closely related to the BA.2.86 sub-variant, which the CDC has monitored since August. Initially identified in Luxembourg, JN.1 has since spread to Britain, Iceland, France, and the US. The CDC emphasized that there is currently no evidence indicating an increased risk to public health from JN.1 compared to other circulating variants, and updated vaccines should provide protection.

China: To conduct sea trials for deep-sea research drilling vessel
On 18 December, The Straits Times reported that China is set to conduct sea trials for its first ocean research drilling vessel, the Meng Xiang. The vessel is capable of drilling at depths of more than 10,000 metres. The vessel represents a significant step toward enhancing China’s deep-sea oil and gas exploration capabilities. The Meng Xiang is the country’s first vessel designed for ultra-deep-water research and drilling, with the ability to drill as deep as 11,000 metres below sea level. It can travel 15,000 nautical miles and operate continuously for 120 days without returning to port. The vessel’s sea trials come amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, a resource-rich region claimed by China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. The Philippines and China have recently exchanged accusations over encounters between their ships in the disputed waters. China’s deep-sea drilling capabilities have strategic implications regarding its energy security and territorial claims in the South China Sea.

China: To update climate commitments after COP28 with US
On 14 December, Global Times reported that China and the US have committed to updating their respective nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

The commitment was made during COP28 in Dubai, where the two countries worked together to support the success of the conference and addressed negotiations deadlock. The update of the long-term strategies for climate action will be based on evaluations by China and the US. In addition to the climate commitments, the two countries agreed to launch joint working groups on climate change, focusing on areas such as energy transition, circular economy, methane, and low-carbon sustainable provinces, states, and cities. Xie and US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry also emphasized the importance of developing and updating long-term strategies to reduce emissions and enhance resilience, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the global stocktake.

Pakistan: Detects imported strain of poliovirus in six samples

It was found in six environmental samples collected from five different districts of the country.  The samples were collected between 13-20 November from Quetta, Malir (Karachi), Peshawar, Hub and Tank districts. One way to determine the effectiveness of polio campaigns in a region is by examining sewage water samples from that area. In this case, the virus is identified as an imported strain. The Health Minister, Dr Nadeem Jan, emphasised the risk of poliovirus transmission across borders and pointed out that among 90 positive sewage samples in 2022, the imported strain has been found in 84 cases.

The rejected constitution, drafted by a conservative-dominated committee, aimed to reinforce property rights, free-market principles, and include limits on immigration and abortion. President Gabriel Boric, acknowledging a polarized nation, urged citizens to “build together a new era for Chile: growth for all, social justice, and citizen security.” Republican Party leader Jose Antonio Kast expressed disappointment, stating, “We failed in the effort to convince Chileans that this would be a better constitution than the existing one.”

The council highlighted the need to monitor AI developments to ensure oversight mechanisms address emerging risks while promoting efficiency and innovation.

The US: House votes to launch formal impeachment inquiry into Biden
On 13 December, the US House of Representatives, with a Republican majority, voted 221-212 to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry into US President Joe Biden. The investigation is centred around whether Biden improperly benefited from his son, Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. The vote followed the refusal of Hunter Biden to testify behind closed doors. The White House dismissed the initiative as politically motivated, and President Biden condemned the vote, emphasising the lack of factual support. While the impeachment effort is unlikely to remove Biden from office, it raises ethical questions amid an ongoing investigation. In response to the vote, Biden stated: “Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they [Republicans] are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”
