China appoints Gen Wang Houbin as the new PLA Rocket Force Chief amid corruption scandal | Oneindia
Beijing has appointed a new leadership for the force responsible for its nuclear arsenal after its former commanders were snared in an anti-corruption campaign.
Rocket Force is the key element of the country’s nuclear deterrence strategy and Beijing’s efforts to ramp up military pressure on Taiwan.
In recent years the PLA has been working to improve its air, land and sea-based nuclear systems – the so-called nuclear triad – as part of a drive to ensure all combat wings can operate together.
Wang Houbin, the navy’s former deputy commander, will now become the new head of the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force, while Xu Xisheng will move from Southern Theatre Command to become its new political commissar.
Their appointments were announced as both Wang and Xu were promoted from the rank of lieutenant general to full general at a ceremony on Monday.
A tense and dramatic moment unfolded in the contested waters of the South China Sea as a Chinese vessel collided with a Philippine boat, escalating tensions between the two nations. The incident, captured on camera, reveals the high-stakes confrontations that continue to plague the region.
In the video, the Chinese ship can be seen ramming into the Philippine vessel near the disputed Sabina Shoal, an area increasingly marked by such maritime clashes. This latest confrontation is part of a broader struggle over territorial claims in the South China Sea, where Beijing's aggressive tactics have drawn international concern.
The footage has sparked outrage in Manila and heightened the already fraught relations between China and the Philippines. The event underscores the volatile nature of the South China Sea dispute and the ever-present risk of these encounters spiralling into a larger conflict.

At the Paris Olympics, two boxers, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, have advanced to gold medal matches in their respective weight categories at the Paris Olympics. These athletes have been at the center of controversy due to questions about their eligibility to compete in women's events. The IBA had found XY chromosomes in their DNA last year. Despite this the athletes have reached Finals of Paris Olympics.

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting won her first Olympic bout amid gender controversy, defeating Sitora Turdibekova in the 57kg category. Lin, like Algerian Imane Khelif, was banned by the International Boxing Association (IBA) but allowed to compete by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This situation highlights the conflict between IBA and IOC policies on gender determination in sports.
