Police in southern China are searching for a man who allegedly killed three people and injured six at a kindergarten in the country’s southern Jiangxi province on Wednesday. The 48-year-old suspect was identified by his surname Liu in a police statement. The brief statement gave no further details of Wednesday morning’s attack in the province’s Anfu county.

The first news about these entrepreneurs have generated contradictory reactions. Despite a rigorous system that screened the first companies vying to grow cannabis in the state, some members of the state’s cannabis community have raised concerns about those companies’ ties to business and politics. However, others argue that these concerns ignore the realities of the cannabis industry, which is poised to experience significant growth. “People with capital are interested in this industry — it’s a billion-dollar industry that’s about to…

Pelosi’s trip, the first by a sitting US speaker in 25 years, had been foreshadowed for days. As the California Democrat left the island on Wednesday afternoon for South Korea, there were already signs of the strain his visit to Taipei had put on Washington’s relationship with Beijing, which warned that his trip would have a “serious impact on the political basis of China-US Relations”.
