An article on Wednesday about an excavation in Ireland where the remains of hundreds of children are thought to have been buried described incorrectly the location of some disposed bodies. It was an old sewage system, not septic tanks.
The headline of an article on Friday about an N.Y.P.D. officer accused of theft incorrectly described his employment status. He is still employed by the department, but has been suspended without pay.
An article on Thursday about the Chinese A.I. industry misquoted Jia Haojun, the founder of Deep Principle. He said it would be a huge benefit if the government helped cover '13 to 15 percent' of early-stage research costs, not '10 to 15 percent.'

China's famous Shaolin Temple leader is under investigation on suspicion of embezzling funds

BEIJING (AP) — China's famous Shaolin Temple announced on Sunday that its abbot is under investigation on suspicion of misappropriation and embezzlement of project funds and temple assets. Shi Yongxin was alleged to have committed criminal offenses and seriously violated the Buddhist precepts by maintaining relationships with multiple women over a long period and fathering at least one child, according to a notice from the temple's authority on its WeChat account. The notice said multiple departments were conducting a joint investigation against Shi Yongxin, and relevant findings would be announced to the public in due course. The fame of the Shaolin Temple, based in the central Chinese province of Henan, has gone beyond a religious institution. It is also famous for its martial arts culture, or kung fu, which has been referenced in many movies and TV dramas, including the 1982 film 'The Shaolin Temple,' starring martial arts superstar Jet Li. The news about Shi Yongxin, whose original name Liu Yingcheng, ranked top on Chinese search engine Baidu and X-like social media platform Weibo on Sunday night. Local media reported that the abbot had been hit by scandalous accusations in the past, including claims that he fathered several children and embezzled money. According to news outlet Caixin Global, provincial investigation reports exonerated him of all charges in 2016. Shi Yongxin entered Shaolin Temple in 1981 and became its abbot in 1999, according to the temple's website. Xinhua in 2015 reported that he was known as a 'CEO monk,' as one of the first Chinese monks to obtain an MBA, and he had sparked controversy for developing commercial operations like lucrative kung fu shows and merchandise. Earlier on Sunday, Chinese local media outlets reported that authorities had dismissed an online notice claiming Shi Yongxin was intercepted by authorities while trying to flee with his mistresses and children as fake.

Trump's bid to keep China from dodging tariffs risks supply chain headaches

A Trump administration campaign to stop Chinese manufacturers from evading high U.S. tariffs risks clogging global trade with red tape, snarling the supply chains that electronics companies and automakers rely on to produce goods at the lowest cost, according to logistics experts and economists. Administration officials say some Chinese companies have skirted the tariffs that President Donald Trump began imposing in 2018 by shipping their goods to American customers via countries such as Vietnam that face lower U.S. trade barriers. Those flows have grown this year as Trump hiked tariffs on Chinese goods to an unprecedented 145 percent in April before lowering them a few weeks later.
