Reporting from Beijing
China<\/a>\u2019s Communist Party elite vowed today to build a modern industrial system and make more efforts to achieve technology self-reliance, which it sees as key to bolstering its position in its intensifying rivalry with the United States.
As expected, the Party\u2019s Central Committee also promised more efforts to expand domestic demand and improve people\u2019s livelihoods \u2014 long-standing goals that in recent years have been little more than an afterthought as China prioritized manufacturing and investment.

Trump said in an interview<\/a> with Time magazine last week that if Israel annexes the West Bank, it would “lose all of its support from the United States.”
“It won\u2019t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries,” the president said in the interview, which was published today. “It will not happen. Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.”
Trump’s comments came before the Knesset voted yesterday to advance a bill to annex<\/a> the already occupied Palestinian territory.
The president also said during the interview that he plans to visit the Gaza Strip, though he didn’t provide any details.

Before leaving Israel today, Vice President JD Vance condemned the Knesset<\/a>‘s<\/a> vote<\/a> yes<\/a>t<\/a>erday t<\/a>o a<\/a>dvance a bill to a<\/a>nnex the <\/a>already occupied <\/a>West Bank<\/a>.
“That was weird. I was sort of confused by that,” Vance told reporters, adding that he had been told the move by Israel’s parliament amounted to “a symbolic vote.”
“Somebody told me that it was a political stunt, that it had no practical significance, it was purely symbolic,” Vance said. “I mean, look, if it was a political stunt, it was a very stupid political stunt, and I personally take some insult to it.”
“The West Bank is not going to be annexed by Israel,” Vance continued. “The policy of the Trump administration is that the West Bank will not be annexed by Israel. That will continue to be our policy, and if people want to take symbolic votes, they can do that, but we certainly weren\u2019t happy about it.\u201d
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, meanwhile, told reporters before he left for Israel last night that the vote could jeopardize the ceasefire agreement<\/a> between Israel and Hamas.

\u201cMrs. Trump\u2019s claims are made for the sole purpose of harassing, intimidating, punishing or otherwise maliciously inhibiting Mr. Wolff\u2019s free exercise of speech,\u201d said the suit, which was filed Tuesday in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan.

Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo clashed last night in the final New York mayoral debate, which put on full display their personal animosity and their array of disagreements over both city and national issues.
Throughout the 90-minute debate, Cuomo \u2014 the former Democratic governor running as an independent \u2014 called Mamdani, 34, a state assemblyman, a \u201ckid\u201d who would get knocked \u201con his tuchus\u201d by Trump, a \u201cgreat actor\u201d and a \u201cdivisive force in New York\u201d who brings \u201ctoxic energy for New York.\u201d

Secretary of State\u00a0Marco Rubio\u00a0<\/a>warned that the Israeli parliament\u2019s moves toward annexing the already occupied West Bank could imperil Trump<\/a>\u2018s\u00a0plan to end the conflict<\/a>\u00a0in Gaza.
Rubio was speaking before heading to Israel to help oversee efforts to maintain the\u00a0fragile truce\u00a0<\/a>between Israel and Hamas, and push forward peace talks on the next stages of the deal. He\u2019s the latest senior U.S. official to do so after a flare-up in violence raised fears the truce could collapse.

The Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting Russia\u2019s oil sector after Trump confirmed that\u00a0a planned meeting<\/a>\u00a0with President Vladimir Putin to discuss\u00a0Russia\u2019s war with Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0was off.
\u201cNow is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire,\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement yesterday. \u201cGiven President Putin\u2019s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia\u2019s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin\u2019s war machine. Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump\u2019s effort to end yet another war. We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions.\u201d
