🇪🇸🔴JUST IN: This man stabbed an Asian teenage girl to death today in Barcelona, Spain. The young woman was stabbed mainly in the thorax and neck in the random attack. She suffered massive blood loss and died on the spot. A 58-year-old man was also stabbed during the incident but suffered only minor wounds. The attacker was arrested by Spanish police shortly afterwards, which was recorded on video. Numerous social media reports indicate the man is North African, but so far, there has been no confirmation.


75% of U.S. electronics are tested in China. Washington is now moving to cut that off. The FCC is set to vote on banning all Chinese labs from testing devices like smartphones, computers, and cameras for the U.S. market. This goes far beyond last year’s move that only blocked government-linked labs, which affected 23 facilities but left most testing still happening in China. This is a major escalation. - China-based labs currently handle the majority of global electronics testing - The U.S. is now framing this as a national security risk, not just a trade issue - The FCC is also tightening rules on Chinese telecom gear, drones, and routers This isn’t just about where devices are made. It’s about who certifies and validates them before they ever reach your hands. #China #Tech #SupplyChain #NationalSecurity #FCC #Geopolitics
