Read previewUsually, when "chicken hindquarters" is on the dinner menu at San Quentin, it's good news. Four men serving sentences at San Quentin say dozens of prisoners were sickened, and some 2,000 were subjected to a week of lockdown to prevent any illness from spreading. The four men who spoke to Business Insider told similar stories. Gavin Newsom announced the facility's "transformation" from San Quentin State Prison into San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, empowering an advisory council comprised of community leaders, prison staff, and program leaders to come up with recommendations to improve conditions. A spokesperson for the California Correctional Health Care Services issued this statement on Tuesday:Advertisement"We are currently investigating cases of a potential gastrointestinal illness at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center.

A three-capital trip by Qin Gang, his first solo trip to the region since becoming China’s foreign minister, comes at a pivotal moment for China’s relationship with the bloc.

While the officers were overseas, Australia—a U.S. ally that anchors Washington’s strategy to counter China in the Pacific—donated 13 vehicles and 60 rifles to the Solomon Islands police and said it would provide training to help officers protect diplomats, politicians and visiting dignitaries.

The first was a short-term mess created by China’s ambassador to France, Lu Shaye , who seemed to question the sovereignty of Ukraine and other countries formerly under Soviet rule. The second was a longer-term question of how much Mr. Xi’s closeness with Russian President Vladimir Putin has hurt its credibility in a bloc that China has long courted—and that has moved decidedly closer to the U.S. over the past year.

HONG KONG—For more than a year, the Western-led global order has had the sort of coherence that only a cataclysm can provide, as the U.S. and European allies focus on helping Ukraine resist Russia’s invasion. That unity faces obstacles, as concerns grow about the escalating costs of the war, and recently leaked classified documents have shown weaknesses in Ukraine’s defenses and the extent to which the U.S. is willing to spy on friendly countries.

HONG KONG—Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva struck a unified pose in defiance of U.S. foreign and trade policy in a meeting in Beijing on Friday, adding weight to Beijing’s pushback against what it sees as a Washington-led containment effort. “We will work to expand trade and balance world geopolitics,” Mr. da Silva wrote on Twitter after meeting with Mr. Xi.
