Foreign companies in China seek “greater clarity” about cybersecurity changes

A business group says foreign companies in China want “greater clarity” about changes in China’s cybersecurity and other rules

VERBATIM: The British Chamber of Commerce in China says it also wants to know how the ruling Communist Party will enforce them after they were rattled by raids on consulting firms.

President Xi Jinping’s government says foreign companies are welcome and is trying to encourage them to invest more.

Biden, McCarthy appeal to lawmakers to support debt deal

The stakes remain high for both President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy after striking a budget deal to avert a default. They may have reached a bipartisan agreement, but hard work remains for both the president and House speaker. They each have to persuade lawmakers in their parties to vote for it — in both the House and the Senate. Some lawmakers on the far right and far left don’t like the compromise and won’t support it, so the deal will require votes from Democrats and Republicans for approval.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.
