By Newswriters News Desk What began as a race to net-zero has morphed into a full-blown “green energy war,” with the United States, China, and Europe now openly clashing over control of the minerals, factories, and patents that power the energy transition. This week, the European Union imposed 100–200% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries, accusing Beijing of flooding markets with state-subsidized products. Hours later, China restricted exports of gallium, germanium, and refined graphite—three elements essential for solar panels, wind turbines, and semiconductors—citing “national security.” Washington responded by expanding its Entity List, cutting another 40 Chinese battery and…

Newswriters News Desk A curious consensus has emerged between the rising BRICS powers pushing for de-dollarization and the United States itself: both sides publicly attribute the accelerating shift away from the dollar mainly to Washington’s “weaponization” of its currency. Yet analysts increasingly argue this narrative, while containing a kernel of truth, oversimplifies a far older and more structural trend that predates the 2022 Russia sanctions by decades. The freezing of roughly $300 billion in Russian central-bank reserves after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is routinely cited as the catalyst that convinced emerging-market nations they could no longer treat the dollar as…

The world’s most-watched YouTube video may be an internet phenomenon, but it hasn’t brought massive wealth to its creator. Nearly nine years after its release, the wildly viral children’s song “Baby Shark Dance” — uploaded by South Korea’s Pinkfong in 2016 — has accumulated more than 16.4 billion views, making it the most-viewed video in YouTube’s history. Despite this astronomical audience, the company behind the hit has reported surprisingly modest financial gains. According to financial disclosures, Pinkfong’s parent company generated just US$67 million in revenue in 2024, with an operating profit of about US$13 million across all business operations.
