Danish parliament speaker calls for green transition cooperation with China

The Star23-06-2025
COPENHAGEN, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Denmark and China should enhance cooperation in green technology and sustainable industries for the future, Soren Gade, Speaker of the Danish Parliament (Folketing) said on Monday.
Speaking to Xinhua at a reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Denmark to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic ties, Gade expressed confidence that the two countries will further expand their green partnership, especially in light of the global push for sustainable development and green transition.
"We are very much involved in green tech, and China is as well. We will continue to cooperate on the green transition in the years to come," he said.
He said that cooperation between Denmark and China has deepened across various fields over the past 75 years.
"Denmark and China have enjoyed increasingly close cooperation in many areas. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Lokke Rasmussen just visited China last month, which demonstrates the high level of our bilateral relations," Gade said.
The parliament speaker highlighted strong existing cooperation in wind power, battery technology, and new energy vehicles, adding that these areas should remain key focuses for future collaboration. "China is always at the forefront in these areas, and I see no reason why our cooperation should not continue and deepen in the years to come," he said.
Gade noted that he had visited China many times, including during a 2014 state visit with then Danish Queen Margrethe II.
"China is a huge country with a large number of consumers. This is why many Danish companies are eager to develop in China," he said. "At the same time, China is a very friendly and welcoming place to visit."

Microsoft server hack has now hit 400 victims, researchers say

FILE PHOTO: A view shows a Microsoft logo at Microsoft offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux near Paris, France, March 25, 2024. REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes/File photo WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A sweeping cyber-espionage campaign organization centered on vulnerable versions of Microsoft's server software has now claimed about 400 victims, according to researchers at Netherlands-based Eye Security. The figure, which is derived from a count of digital artifacts discovered during scans of servers running vulnerable versions of Microsoft's SharePoint software, compares to 100 organizations cataloged over the weekend. Eye Security says the figure is likely an undercount. "There are many more, because not all attack vectors have left artifacts that we could scan for," said Vaisha Bernard, the chief hacker for Eye Security, which was among the first organizations to flag the breaches. The spy campaign kicked off after Microsoft failed to fully patch a security hole in its SharePoint server software, kicking off a scramble to fix the vulnerability when it was discovered. Microsoft and its tech rival, Google owner Alphabet , have both said Chinese hackers are among those taking advantage of the flaw. Beijing has denied the claim. The details of most of the victim organizations have not yet been fully disclosed. Bernard declined to identify them. (Reporting by Raphael Satter; Editing by Jan Harvey and Mark Porter)

PADU updates 30.4 million profiles with integrated data

KUALA LUMPUR: The Central Database System (PADU) has successfully integrated data from 204 government agencies, updating profiles for 30.4 million citizens and permanent residents as of June 2025. The Ministry of Economy (MOE) confirmed the system's role in refining subsidy distribution by identifying target groups more accurately. The ministry explained that PADU shifts from traditional income classifications (B40, M40, T20) to net disposable income (NDI) for better precision. 'NDI measures household income by deducting the Basic Expenditure of Decent Living (PAKW) from disposable income, ensuring a fairer assessment of living standards,' the MOE stated on Parliament's website. This adjustment addresses concerns raised by Kamal Ashaari (PN-Kuala Krau) regarding subsidy distribution accuracy. The ministry emphasised that PADU's data-sharing capability enhances policy planning and resource allocation. 'It reduces errors in beneficiary selection and improves monitoring,' the statement added. – Bernama

HK arrests 18-year-old for writing ‘seditious words' in bathroom

HONG KONG police arrested an 18-year-old on suspicion he left what they called 'seditious' messages in a bathroom, adding to a recent series of national security actions that signal authorities' continued efforts to curb dissent. The man is accused of being 'involved in writing seditious words in a commercial building toilet on three separate occasions,' the government said Wednesday. The content allegedly provoked hatred and disaffection against the government and incited others to defy the law. The move is the latest in a flurry of enforcement actions against perceived threats to the Chinese state in the former British colony. Hong Kong is seeking to burnish its status as a finance hub after its image took a hit from strict pandemic controls and clampdown on political freedoms. Earlier this month police arrested four men for allegedly advocating independence for the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. In June, local authorities took their first known joint operation with Beijing's security officers to investigate a case of alleged foreign collusion. Police also banned a Taiwanese video game that month for allegedly calling for armed revolution. In its Wednesday statement, the National Security Department of the police charged the man for carrying out 'with a seditious intention an act or acts that had a seditious intention,' a crime that's punishable by up to seven years of imprisonment on first conviction. The offense is defined in the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, commonly known as Article 23, which was fast-tracked into domestic law last year. It's been invoked in addition to the Beijing-imposed National Security Law of 2020, which authorities used to detain and imprison dozens of leading democracy activists. The Hong Kong government didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. –BLOOMBERG
