It is generally considered poor form to speculate on the consequences of a person&rsquo;s death, especially if that person is as graceful as Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama. Distasteful as the venture may be, it must be undertaken because of what is at stake &mdash; not only the future of millions of Tibetans around the world, but also, because of its connection to India-China relations, the Indo-Pacific region as a whole.

Business Standard

Taiwan&rsquo;s presidential elections, since they first started in 1996, have in large part been referendums on the &ldquo;One China&rdquo; policy. Voters have been offered two deviations from the delicious ambiguity of the status quo: either a path towards eventual re-unification with mainland China or a dangerous path towards independence.

A federal appeals court has left in place a mid-January deadline in a federal law requiring TikTok to be sold or face a ban in the United States, rejecting a request made by the company to halt enforcement until the Supreme Court reviews its challenge of the statute.
Attorneys for TikTok and its China-based parent company, ByteDance, are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court.
It is unclear if the nation's highest court will take up the case, though some legal experts have said they expect the justices to weigh in due to the types of novel questions it raises about social media, national security and the First Amendment.
TikTok is also looking for a potential lifeline from President-elect Donald Trump, who promised to save the short-form video platform during the presidential campaign.
Attorneys for TikTok and ByteDance had requested the injunction after a panel of three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sided with the US government and rejecte

US President-elect Donald Trump has called for the "shooting down" of the mystery drones that have been appearing in various parts of the country.
These drones were first spotted in New Jersey a few days ago and are now being seen in other areas as well.

"Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT," he said with his personal signature at the end of the post.
The White House on Thursday said there was no evidence yet that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public
