Indonesia will “listen to the market” as it builds a body to oversee key commodity exports, according to Pandu Sjahrir , chief investment officer of sovereign wealth fund Danantara. Asked about market confusion on the radical new policy , Sjahrir said investors were trying to absorb the news and details would be provided over the coming weeks, though the policy would focus initially on coal and crude palm oil. “The idea is to increase transparency, accountability, traceability — and of course it will have to be market friendly,” he said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “We are listening to the players, to the market. We want to make sure this is accretive both for producers and for shareholders involved.” President Prabowo Subianto ’s plan to channel Indonesia’s biggest commodity exports through a state-owned entity caught markets and even many of the administration’s own top officials by surprise this week. The Jakarta stock benchmark has slumped to a one-year low as investors seek clarity on what the policy will mean for a key segment of Southeast Asia’s largest economy. Indonesia is the world’s top exporter of thermal coal, palm oil and ferronickel — and shipments of all three will be handled Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia, under the sovereign wealth fund, according to Prabowo’s announcement. The policy is aimed at curbing under-invoicing, or under-declaring the value of cargoes, a practice that Prabowo says costs the country $150 billion every year.

Fake Wars & Higher Prices: What A "Multipolar World Order" Really Means Authored by Kit Knightly via Off-Guardian.org, The world is changing. The once dominant imperial power of the United States is faltering, hollowed out by corruption, over-extended by hubris, eaten away by the cancers of hatred, nationalism and greed. Even according to its own propaganda outlets, America has “become the villain” , is “Officially an Empire in Decline” , and we are witnessing its “final act” . And, as we await the titan’s inevitable fall, the world is considering the future. Everyone is talking about the “multipolar world order” just over the horizon. From “Pax Americana to Pax Multipolaris” . This “Multipolar World” has been a political talking point for a long time, but it has been building momentum over the last few years, and noticeably accelerating since the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been calling for this multipolar order for years, and did so again last week . China’s Xi Jinping regularly does the same , most recently during his trip to South America in February . North Korea’s Kim Jung Il echoed these sentiments in April . Xi and Putin signed a joint declaration on “building a multipolar world” this morning. Two weeks ago, in a talk at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for “a post-imperial world [and] a resilient rules-based order in a new era of multipolarity” . In a speech during his trip to China last month, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for “embracing a multipolar world order” : “What is happening today is not a transfer of hegemony, but an increase in multipolarity — in both power and prosperity,” Outside of politicians speechifying, the multipolar world order has become the main focus of the international think-tank circuit as well. “Multipolarization” was the main topic of the Munich Security Conference Report in February 2025. In December, th...

A ramshackle 10-storey home that had become an offbeat tourist attraction in south-western China has been torn down, ending a years-long battle between the structure’s owner and local authorities. Chen Tianming said local authorities took just hours to return the stone bungalow – which had been transformed into a pyramid-shaped structure of plywood rooms stacked upon one another – back down to its original single storey. “I don’t feel regret, because regret is useless,” Chen told the AFP news agency. “I also don’t blame myself for failing to protect it – it’s just that the force driving its destruction was simply too powerful.” The 43-year-old had spent about 200,000 yuan ($29,000) over eight years to convert his family home into an unlikely tourist attraction in the village of Xingyi in Guizhou province.

Authorities in Guizhou province have long threatened to remove the multi-storey structure that was held together by bamboo scaffolding, saying it lacked the necessary building permits and was a safety hazard. Chen’s home village of Xingyi was mostly demolished in 2018, as authorities planned to build a tourist resort in the region known for its otherworldly mountain landscapes. Chen’s family refused to leave, and as the resort’s construction faltered he began building his home higher and higher in defiance of demolition threats by authorities.
