China opposes any tariff deal made at its expense: Commerce Ministry
BEIJING: China firmly opposes any country making trade deals with the United States (US) at the expense of Chinese interests in exchange for so-called "tariff relief", a spokesperson for the Commerce Ministry said on Saturday, according to Xinhua. "If such a situation arises, China will not accept it and will take resolute countermeasures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests," said the spokesperson, responding to a media query about recent US trade talks with other economies. "Since April, the US has been pushing so-called 'reciprocal tariffs' on its trade partners. This is a typical act of unilateral bullying that seriously undermines the multilateral trading system and disrupts the normal international trade order," the spokesperson said, adding that China has consistently and firmly opposed such practices. The spokesperson said that China welcomes efforts by other countries to resolve trade differences with the US through consultations on equal footing, and urges all sides to uphold fairness and justice, remain on the right side of history, and resolutely defend international economic and trade rules as well as the multilateral trading system. "It is proven that only by firmly defending its principle and position can a country truly protect its legitimate rights," the spokesperson said.

US Senate Republicans push ahead on Trump's sweeping tax-cut, spending bill
WASHINGTON: US Senate Republicans planned to vote Saturday on President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill after agreeing on changes to address concerns about funding for rural hospitals and the deductibility of state taxes. Several Republican senators who had previously expressed hesitancy about voting for the bill told reporters that their concerns had been assuaged and that they were ready to vote to clear a first procedural hurdle in the coming hours. Senator John Barrasso, the chamber's No. 2 Republican, said the first procedural vote on the legislation would take place shortly, though it did not start by 4pm (2000 GMT), as he had predicted. The bill is Trump's top legislative goal. With his fellow Republicans controlling both chambers, Congress has so far not rejected any of Trump's priorities. The 940-page megabill would extend the 2017 tax cuts that were Trump's main legislative achievement during his first term as president, cut other taxes and boost spending on the military and border security. Nonpartisan analysts estimate that a version passed by the House of Representatives last month would add about US$3 trillion to the US$36.2 trillion US government debt. The Congressional Budget Office has not released a forecast for how much the Senate version - still subject to change - would add to the debt if enacted. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget public policy organisation on Saturday said its preliminary estimate is that the Senate version would add US$4 trillion to the debt over the next decade, including interest costs. "If you thought the House bill borrowed too much - and it did - the Senate manages to make things even worse," Maya MacGuineas, the group's president, said in a statement. The White House said this month that the legislation, titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, would reduce the annual deficit by US$1.4 trillion. Democrats opposed the bill, saying its tax-cut elements would disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of social programmes relied upon by lower-income Americans. "Future generations will be saddled with trillions in debt," said Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate's top Democrat. "Under this draft Republicans will take food away from hungry kids to pay for tax breaks to the rich." Schumer called for the bill's full text to be read on the Senate floor after the vote, a procedure that was sure to run late into the night, if not past dawn. MUSK LASHES OUT AGAIN The world's richest person, Elon Musk, took a swipe at the bill, calling it "utterly insane and destructive". He risked reigniting a feud with Trump that raged earlier this month, before Musk backed down from his rhetoric "The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!" Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X. Republican Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Susan Collins of Maine, who had opposed concern about tax-code changes that could hurt rural hospitals, told reporters they were ready to move forward. A successful vote would kick off a lengthy process that could run into Sunday, as Democrats unveil a series of amendments unlikely to pass in a chamber that Republicans control 53-47. "By passing this bill now, we will make our nation more prosperous and secure," Senate Budget Committee chairman Lindsey Graham said in a statement accompanying the bill text. MEDICAID CHANGES Republicans from states with large rural populations have opposed a reduction in state tax revenue for Medicaid providers including rural hospitals. The newly released legislation would delay that reduction and would include US$25 billion to support rural Medicaid providers from 2028 to 2032. "If you want to be a working-class party, you've got to get and deliver for working-class people," Hawley told reporters. "You cannot take away healthcare for working people." The legislation would raise the cap on federal deductions for state and local taxes to US$40,000 with an annual 1% inflation adjustment through 2029, after which it would fall back to the current US$10,000. The bill would also phase the cap down for those earning more than US$500,000 a year. That is a major concern of House Republicans from coastal states including New York, New Jersey and California, who play an important role in keeping the party's narrow House majority. Republicans are using a legislative maneuver to bypass the Senate's 60-vote threshold to advance most legislation in the 100-member chamber. NARROW PATH The narrow majorities for Republicans in the Senate and House mean they can afford no more than three no votes from the party in either chamber to advance a bill that Democrats are united in opposing. Democrats will focus their firepower with amendments aimed at reversing Republican spending cuts to programmes that provide government-backed healthcare to the elderly, poor and disabled, as well as food aid to low-income families. The bill also would raise the Treasury Department's debt ceiling by trillions of dollars to stave off a potentially disastrous default on the nation's debt in the coming months. If the Senate passes the bill, it will then return to the House for another vote before Trump could sign it into law. - Reuters

King: Don't use Islam for own gains
KUALA LUMPUR: Politicians and political parties should stop riding on Islam for their own personal interests, decrees His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia. Islam should be used to enhance national interests for the good of the people, said Sultan Ibrahim, adding that governance should be rooted in Islamic values. 'I wish to remind community leaders not to politicise Islam for personal gain. Instead, let us practise politics rooted in Islamic values for the benefit of the nation. 'This means governance must be grounded in the Shariah (Islamic law), not influenced by secular or liberal ideologies. 'Islam is a complete and perfect religion, sufficient for all aspects of life. 'No party should exploit religion for political interests or spread slander and hatred that ultimately divide society. 'I have long emphasised that the platforms of propagation and Islamic education should never be used to promote partisan political agendas. 'Let us collectively safeguard the sanctity of Islam and defend the unity of the ummah in harmony,' decreed Sultan Ibrahim. His Majesty decreed this in his royal address at the national Maal Hijrah celebrations at the Malaysia International Trade and Convention Centre (Mitec) here yesterday. His Majesty was accompanied by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad. Royal presence: Sultan Ibrahim (centre) with (from left) Anwar, Maal Hijrah Award recipients Datuk Dr Nooh Gadot and Dr Tawfig Fawzan Muhammed Al-Rabiah and Mohd Na'im in conjunction with the Maal Hijrah celebration at Mitec, Kuala Lumpur. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star Maal Hijrah, also known as Awal Muharram, is the first day of the Muslim new year, based on the hijrah (migration) of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Madinah. Sultan Ibrahim called upon all Muslims to understand the great responsibility of building a civilisation grounded in Islamic values. 'True development is not merely physical; it must also encompass character, knowledge and humanity. 'Those who strive in the path of Allah with their wealth and lives are promised a high rank in His sight. These are the ones who truly attain success. 'The migration of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Madinah was a historic journey that laid the foundation for the constitution of Madinah – a crucial document that established the principles of justice, consensus and diversity. 'In our country, the unity we enjoy today stems from the Federal Constitution, which enshrines the values of justice, balanced power, shared responsibility and the spirit of consensus. 'Therefore, all parties must uphold the Constitution and never ignite the flames of hostility in the name of race or religion, which could jeopardise national peace. 'Islam is a religion of brotherhood and peace. We must all embrace Islam as a true way of life – not just through outward appearance or clothing that seems Islamic, but through noble character and daily practices that reflect Islamic values. 'I urge those in administration and leadership positions to emulate the qualities of the Prophet Muhammad and never oppress the weak. 'Let us work hand in hand to build a nation that not only succeeds in the eyes of the world, but is also blessed by God,' Sultan Ibrahim decreed.
