China boosts confidence in world economy amid global uncertainties
The year 2025 is around the corner, but the economic outlook for the world is not as exciting as the coming of the New Year. International organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warn that the global economy faces risks of low growth, high debt, weak investment, and rising economic fragmentation. And the uncertainty linked to the incoming U.S. administration only further complicates the global economic landscape. At this critical juncture, China, the world's second-largest economy, is working actively to instill confidence and stability in global development. In early December, China hosted the "1+10" Dialogue in Beijing, bringing together the heads of 10 prominent international economic organizations. Focusing on the themes of global development and common prosperity, the dialogue delivered a powerful message in favor of multilateralism and economic growth. It also reaffirmed the shared commitment of China and the participating organizations to promoting free trade and advancing economic globalization.

In addition, Telegram's architecture limits the ability to slow the spread of false information: the lack of a central public feed, and the fact that comments are easily disabled in channels, reduce the space for public pushback. The regulator said it has been undertaking several campaigns to educate the investors to be vigilant while taking investment decisions based on stock tips. Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation. Stocks closed in the red Friday as investors weighed upbeat remarks from Russian President Vladimir Putin about diplomatic discussions with Ukraine against a weaker-than-expected print on U.S. consumer sentiment. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
