More women are rejecting state pressure over their reproductive choices, amid the devastating legacy of the one-child policy Ever since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, women’s bodies have been the business of the state. In the 1950s, labour for state-controlled work units was organised according to women’s menstrual cycles. Then for decades, there was the one-child policy. Across vast swathes of the country the policy was enforced with a brutal severity. As well as fines for additional children, women were forced to have abortions and subjected to forced sterilisations. Continue reading...

Japanese stocks are poised to rise after President Donald Trump signaled the US is close to signing a deal with Iran, boosting investor confidence. Nikkei 225 Stock Average futures expiring in September on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange traded at 66,655.00 as of 8:01 a.m. in Tokyo. That compares with 64,480 for contracts traded in Osaka Thursday. Oil tumbled after Trump said a peace deal with Iran could be signed as soon as the weekend in Europe. “With a path toward a US-Iran agreement now outlined, buying is likely to broaden into lagging stocks outside the AI-related sector,” said Masahiro Ichikawa , chief market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. Still, AI- and chip-related shares will probably lead the market higher Friday, he said. Semiconductor and artificial intelligent-related shares were sold off this week through Thursday amid concern over Middle East tensions and a rout in US tech stocks on worries about higher interest rates and a wave of equity supply. SpaceX, which is expected to start trading Friday in New York, said it raised $75 billion in its initial public offering.
