Since then, communities have splintered into rival groups across swaths of the northeastern state, which borders war-torn Myanmar. After months of relative calm, an uptick in violence again this month saw at least 11 people killed, including by insurgents reportedly firing rockets and dropping…

The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has begun hearing arguments in TikTok’s challenge to a law that demands the social media platform’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operations or face a ban. The law, passed by Congress and signed in April, marked a significant move in Washington’s broader campaign to restrict Chinese-linked businesses in the US. The crackdown has bipartisan support, driven by concerns over national security and economic influence, particularly in strategic…
