Decades ago, in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Cordelia Clark ran a restaurant out of her kitchen and parked cabs for her taxi company in her backyard because Black residents were effectively barred from owning or renting storefronts in town.

Now Evanston is poised to become the first U.S. city to offer reparation money to Black residents whose families suffered lasting damage from decades of discriminatory practices.

China's new Coast Guard Law has turned its fishing fleets into a dangerous weapon in the South China Seas. The Maritime Militia has encroached upon Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and more, staking out territorial claims of the Chinese Communist Party while overfishing resources. But now the US is sending its Coast Guard far from home to combat the challenge.

There are good reasons why we are hearing a lot about American democracy as the Biden Administration takes office. If anyone needed reminding of the strain that four years of Donald Trump’s presidency had placed on the institutions underpinning America’s democracy, the 6 January siege of the US Capitol building illuminated the problem with terrifying starkness.

Two weeks later, in the poem that stole the inauguration show, Amanda Gorman insisted that “while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated.” In his inaugural address Biden sought to rededicate the United States to its constitutional principles: “Today”, he intoned, “we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.”

About 80 per cent of staff working at New Zealand’s visa application centre in Beijing are direct employees of a company owned by the Beijing police, inflaming concerns that the Chinese government could gain access to information about citizens trying to leave the country.

Immigration Minister Kris Faafoi said he was happy with security arrangements at the centre, which the Government says protects the privacy of people applying for visas.
