SOUTH AFRICA'S PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA SAYS HE IS NOT STEPPING DOWN

China said it dismantled a cross-border drug trafficking network in a joint operation with the US, highlighting cooperation ahead of an upcoming presidential summit in Beijing. China’s Ministry of Public Security and the US Drug Enforcement Administration detained two Chinese and three American nationals in coordinated raids across Liaoning, Guangdong, Florida and Nevada. Authorities seized drugs including protonitazene and bromazolam and disrupted a trafficking route spanning both countries, according to Xinhua. The announcement comes just before Donald Trump’s visit and follows recent bilateral law enforcement cooperation, including the repatriation of a Chinese fugitive from the US.
