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. Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching. 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.
