US will work as aggressively as possible to protect American workers and businesses from unfair Chinese trade practices

Washington, Apr 8: Describing China’s trade practices as “uncompetitive, coercive and underhanded,” US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has said the Biden administration plans to use all the tools in its possession, as aggressively as possible, to protect American workers and businesses from Beijing’s “unfair” actions. Addressing her maiden news conference at the White House, she said that to compete in the long run with China, efforts must be made to rebuild America. “We have to work with our allies and find common ground where we can. With respect to tariffs, there is a place for tariffs. You know the 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium have, in fact, helped save American jobs in the steel and aluminium industries,” she said, referring to the previous Trump administration’s tariffs on imported aluminium.

Malaysia pushes for Sharia law to be tougher on LGBT Muslims

Protesters gather outside a mosque in Malaysia in 2011 to urge the government to recognise the LGBT+ community (Mohd Rasfan/AFP/Getty) Malaysia is pushing for Sharia law to be tougher against LGBT+ Muslims even as it makes a bid for a spot on the UN Human Rights Council. On Tuesday (6 April) the Malaysian government announced plans to move forward with an amendment to the Sharia Courts Act that would allow heavier punishments to be imposed on the LGBT+ community. The country’s strict Islamic laws already penalise any form of anal or oral sex with up to 20 years in prison and mandatory caning – but ministers want to push it further still.

Apr 07, 2021 11:44:07 AM The Fiji Trades Union Congress (FTUC) is calling on government to review its decision amid police denying them to hold march and rallies in Suva on 1 May. FTUC National Secretary Felix Anthony in a statement said the two face approach by government is shameful as their six applications have been denied by the authorities. Anthony said the government clearly has no intention of honouring its commitment to the United Nation Human Rights Council. “The most recent International Labour Organisation report of the committee of experts had also called on government to allow workers the right of assembly and peaceful protest,” he said
