Heavy rains and flash floods have killed at least 30 people in Beijing and Hebei, with Beijing’s Miyun district alone reporting 28 deaths. Landslides and rising river levels have intensified the crisis, prompting President Xi Jinping to order “all-out” rescue operations. Over 80,000 residents have been evacuated, and 136 villages are without power. With over 543mm of rainfall recorded, infrastructure damage is extensive. Authorities have issued top-level flood alerts as emergency teams race to prevent further casualties and devastation.

India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has launched a scathing critique of foreign media coverage surrounding the recent Operation Sindoor, India’s successful counter-air offensive against Pakistan. During his statement, Doval highlighted the glaring disparity between global headlines and on-ground evidence. “Show me one image of damage on our side. Even a glass pane wasn’t broken,” he said, slamming reports suggesting Pakistani retaliation inflicted damage in India.
Doval emphasized satellite images showcasing before-and-after visuals of 13 Pakistani air bases, including Chaklala and Sargodha, exposed only damage on their side. His remarks sent a powerful message on India's capability and the global narrative war surrounding cross-border strikes. This marks one of the strongest rebuttals to foreign press by an Indian security chief in recent times, asserting India's stance with sharp clarity.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links.
Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy.

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains.
Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun.
