Point is, it happens, and that's okay — because however bad our mistakes were, at least they didn't spell certain doom for the entire human race.

China will 'play along to the end' with U.S., its top diplomat says
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Friday that China will "play along to the end" if the United States is bent on suppressing the country even though Beijing does not wish to be in conflict with Washington. Wang, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, said China would respond resolutely to unilateral "bullying" practices, but hopes the U.S. can work together with it in the same direction. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped an additional 10% tariff on all Chinese goods despite having what he had described as a "good" telephone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping weeks earlier.

US drops website wording on not supporting Taiwan independence
The U.S. State Department has removed a statement on its website that it does not support Taiwan independence, among changes that the island's government praised on Sunday as supporting Taiwan. The fact sheet on Taiwan retains Washington's opposition to unilateral change from either Taiwan or from China, which claims the democratically governed island as its own. But as well as dropping the phrase "we do not support Taiwan independence", the page has added a reference to Taiwan's cooperation with a Pentagon technology and semiconductor development project and says the U.S. will support Taiwan's membership in international organisations "where applicable".

Isolated Indigenous man returns to tribe in the Amazon rainforest after brief contact
A young man from an isolated Indigenous tribe who approached a riverine community in Brazil’s Amazon returned voluntarily to his people less than 24 hours later, Brazilian authorities said. Officials from Brazil's Indigenous affairs agency, Funai, arrived soon after and took him to a nearby facility. As a policy, Brazil does not actively seek contact with these groups but instead establishes protected and monitored areas, such as Mamoriá Grande, near where the encounter occurred.

US presented Ukraine with a document to access its minerals but offered almost nothing in return
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he directed his ministers not to sign off on a proposed agreement to give the United States access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals because the document was too focused on U.S. interests. The proposal, which was a key part of Zelenskyy’s talks with U.S. Vice President JD Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday, did not offer any specific security guarantees in return, according to one current and one former senior Ukrainian official familiar with the talks. Zelenskyy’s decision not to accept the proposal, at least for now, was described as “short-sighted” by a senior White House official.
