Three American citizens who had been detained in China were released, a State Department spokesperson said Wednesday. Li, 70, who is from Long Island, New York, was detained in 2016 and sentenced to 10 years in 2018 on espionage charges his family says are baseless. The announcement on Wednesday follows the surprise release in September of American pastor David Lin, whom like Li and Swidan the U.S. had classified as wrongfully detained. He had been jailed in China since 2006 after being sentenced to life in prison on charges of contract fraud. Other families who appeared at the hearing are still waiting for the return of loved ones detained in China, including Nelson Wells Jr. and Dawn Hunt.

Li, 27, is part of a growing base of Chinese workers swapping high-pressure office jobs for flexible blue-collar work. But these firms are slowly losing their appeal as China’s economy faces headwinds including a property crisis, declining foreign investment and slumping consumption. The trend to move from professional to manual jobs comes amid surging demand for blue-collar workers, according to Chinese recruitment platform Zhaopin. And blue-collar workers’ pay has also gone up, attracting more people to jobs they might have previously avoided. Pressure of another kindBut some wonder if blue-collar work is truly the stress-free refuge people like Li and Wang imagine it to be.

☆ As cocoa prices soar this Easter, chocolatiers consider alternatives
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-28 | by ( John Towfighi | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —Cocoa prices are surging so high, the Easter Bunny might want to hoard its chocolate. Poor climate and crop diseases in West Africa – home to 70% of global cocoa production – have tightened supply and caused prices to skyrocket. As prices rise, some chocolatiers are exploring cost-cutting alternatives, like diversifying their products to depend less on cocoa. Yet mining often destroys farms and the possibility of a livelihood in cocoa production, Issaka said. “Given the persistently high cocoa prices, it may be necessary for us to make responsible adjustments to pricing in the future,” the spokesperson wrote in an email.

WASHINGTON (AP) — By any standard, the past 18 months have been remarkable for getting wrongfully detained Americans home. For all the releases of wrongly detained Americans, several dozen remain imprisoned or held hostage, often by a hostile government. In some instances, there have been few signs of progress, and families have sometimes seen the foreign countries that are holding their loved ones release other detainees — but not yet their relatives. In September, five Americans jailed for years in Iran walked free in a deal that saw the release of nearly $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Despite the administration’s recent spate of success with other detainees, he said he was pragmatic about the absence of an obvious solution.

☆ What are 'full-time children'? Young adults in China are rejecting the rat race and getting paid by their parents to do chores while living at home
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Haley Tenore | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Some young adults in China are opting to work as "full-time children" in place of traditional careers. Full-time children are often paid by their parents to run errands, clean, and prepare food. In China, however, young people are turning this idea on its head and staying at home, working as "full-time children." China's notoriously grueling 996 culture, which entails 72-hour workweeks, and difficulty finding employment are some of the main contributors to the "full-time children" movement. In China, there are even social media groups devoted to the "full-time children" trend.

Chinese automakers have a better handle on what their customers want than other car companies. Chinese automakers know what their customers want better than others — and that's why they're likely to beat out rival car companies, especially those from the US. Chinese auto players are already growing rapidly: They're expected to outsell foreign brands in China for the first time this year. "This freshness is a really critical buying factor for Chinese brands," Dyer said. "They will become bigger and stronger competitors and players — potentially, a source of disruption for some of the mature market automakers," Dyer added.

A "battery passport" that traces everything from a battery's mining to recycling could help. Experts say using the battery passport could separate auto-industry winners from losers. That challenge could be alleviated by the "battery passport," a new way of documenting where all the bits of a battery come from and where they're going. In Europe, newer regulations have increased scrutiny of battery sustainability and safety. The battery passport could make it easier to get through them.

China is thus now facing a dual challenge, said Donald Low, a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. “You’re going to see the Hong Kong story played out on a much larger scale” in mainland China, Low said.
