China?s Climate Charade: A Green Fa?ade for Economic Supremacy Wed May 07, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
China's claim to 'climate leadership' is a geopolitical manoeuvre to counter Trump's narrative, not a pledge of emissions cuts, says Dr Tilak Doshi. Expecting China to join the West's economic self-sabotage is delusional.

Jump To Comment: 1On Sunday 5th Oct a group of Iranian students gathered in front of the Islamic Majlis (parliament) in Tehran protesting at their expulsion and other restrictions imposed on them by the university authorities. These students are known as "marked students" - a term used by the Ministry of Higher Education to describe students with no security clearance from the Ministry of Intelligence following their protest activities.
The State Security Forces cordoned off the protesters and did not allow them access to Majlis. The Ministry of Education has refused to issue 17 of the graduates their degrees, saying that since they have no security clearance they are not eligible to receive a diploma. A number of students were arrested and transferred to the police precinct in Enqelab Square, according to their relatives.
