CSIS intelligence report suggests growing number of countries targeting country’s large diaspora populations
’s spy agency has declared that the governments of India and Pakistan probably attempted to meddle in its elections.

The physical efforts of Jia Ling, who writes, directs and stars, are impressive, but too much time is spent labouring over well-worn tropes of the genre
Jia Ling writes, directs and stars in this boxing drama with a twist: there’s not really very much boxing in it. from China, we’re introduced to Du Leying (Jia) as a no-hoper; the perspective, in fact, of the supporting characters and the film itself is that it would be hard to imagine a bigger loser. She’s 32, lives at home, doesn’t adhere to traditional beauty norms (particularly as regards body weight), and her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend. When this affair is discovered, the best friend heaps another item on the laundry list of putative indignities that make up Leying’s life by immediately asking her to be a maid of honour at the wedding.
