☆ China penalizes European brandy in tit-for-tat response
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

An investigation has preliminarily determined that dumping of brandy from the EU is threatening China’s own brandy sector with “substantial damage,” the Chinese Commerce Ministry said. It also accounted for 99% of China’s brandy imports last year, with French brandy shipments reaching $1.7 billion. The Chinese commerce ministry gave no details. Ahead of the vote, in late August, China had suspended its planned anti-dumping measures on EU brandy, in an apparent goodwill gesture, despite determining that EU brandy had been sold in China at below-market prices. At the time, the Commerce Ministry said its probe would end before January 5, 2025, but that it could be extended.

☆ What women should know about their breasts, according to a doctor
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Katia Hetter | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

One in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetimes, according to the American Cancer Society. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States, with 42,000 women dying every year from this cancer. Women need to know when to start screening for breast cancer. We have been referring primarily to women because breast cancer is far more common among women. In addition, all people assigned female at birth should follow recommendations for breast cancer screening as noted above.
