PETALING JAYA: Retired squash ace Datuk Nicol David added another feather to her cap when she was appointed the Pro Chancellor of Heriot-Watt University of Malaysia today.
China and Russia on Thursday pledged to step up their military ties, despite Western pressure on Beijing to rein in Moscow from advancing in Ukraine.
According to the statement, China and Russia will work together in areas such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications, the Internet of Things, open source technologies, cyber and data security, and radio frequency coordination – fields considered to have security implications. The statement condemned the United States for what it said were violations of the strategic nuclear balance and non-proliferation, the deployment of land-based intermediate missiles in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, for conducting exercises targeting Russia and China, and plans for the militarisation of space.
During his visit to Beijing last month, Blinken warned China to stop “aiding Russia’s war effort in Ukraine”, and accused China of being the “primary contributor” to Moscow’s war by providing about 70 per cent of the machine tools and 90 per cent of the microelectronics Russia imports, including critical components for weaponry.
