China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday hit back at a call from the head of Anthropic for the US to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities, which he issued as he argued for a global slowdown on AI development. US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to discuss AI governance, among other topics, at a meeting planned on September 24. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world. He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China in order to keep the US' AI edge. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to a question about Amodei's essay by saying that all parties should work together on AI.

Taylor, Cremer Make Surprise Returns As Zimbabwe Name Squad For Australia ODIs

Harare Sports Club: Zimbabwe will use Australias first ODI visit to Harare in more than a decade as an important marker in their preparations for the 2027 World Cup, with Sikandar Raza taking charge of a 15-member squad that also brings two familiar names back into the fold. Raza has been handed the captaincy for the three-match series in the absence of regular skipper Richard Ngarava, who continues to recover from a lower-back injury. The two sides will meet at Harare Sports Club on September 15, 18 and 20, with the series offering Zimbabwe a chance to measure their developing side against one of the leading teams in world cricket. The most notable feature of the squad, however, is the return of Brendan Taylor and Graeme Cremer. Taylor, 40, is back in the ODI setup after featuring in two matches against Sri Lanka in 2025 following a four-year international hiatus. Zimbabwes second-highest ODI run-scorer, the wicketkeeper-batter is just 81 runs away from overtaking Andy Flower as the countrys leading run-getter in the format. Cremers inclusion is equally significant. The former Zimbabwe captain is set to make his first ODI appearance since 2018, returning to the format after featuring in the countrys T20I setup, including at the T20 World Cup earlier this year. His only previous ODI against Australia came during the 2011 World Cup. The hosts will nevertheless have to cope without several established players. Besides Ngarava, Tendai Chatara is unavailable with an Achilles tendon injury, while Tanaka Chivanga is also sidelined with the same injury. Wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande, who played in Zimbabwes most recent ODI series against Bangladesh in July, has not been included. Tadiwanashe Marumani provides an alternative wicketkeeping option, while Brian Bennett, Ben Curran and Innocent Kaia are among the principal batting choices alongside Taylor, Raza and Craig Ervine. The bowling attack will be spearheaded by Blessing Muzarabani, with Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri and Ernest Masuku providing pace support. Cremer and Wellington Masakadza add specialist spin, while Ryan Burl and Wessly Madhevere strengthen the all-round options. Tadiwanashe Marumani provides an alternative wicketkeeping option, while Brian Bennett, Ben Curran and Innocent Kaia are among the principal batting choices alongside Taylor, Raza and Craig Ervine.

Digital Desk | Moqi (China), Sep 13 (IANS) India women successfully retained their Junior Asia Cup crown after edging hosts China 1-0 in the final here on Sunday. Sanika Chandrakant Mane's 17th-minute strike helped India retain the title and confirm a spot in the FIH Junior World Cup. The Indian womens team lifted the AHF Junior Asia Cup trophy in the last two editions. The team has undergone a structured training programme under newly appointed coach Tim White, who assumed charge earlier this year, and successfully completed a hat trick of titles on Sunday. Hockey India has announced cash rewards for the women's team for their title-winning campaign at the Junior Asia Cup, awarding Rs 3 lakh to each player and Rs 1.5 lakh to each member of the support staff. India and China were locked in a neck-and-neck contest through a goalless opening quarter. The breakthrough came in the 17th minute when Sanika struck to give India a 1-0 lead, which they held heading into halftime. India maintained their slender lead throughout the third quarter, frustrating the hosts and keeping them off the scoreboard. They held firm through to the final whistle to secure a 1-0 victory, triumphantly lifting their third AHF Women's Junior Asia Cup trophy. India came into the summit clash after beating South Korea 5-1, courtesy of frag-flick specialist Supriya, after producing a sensational attacking display to beat Pakistan 19-0 in the quarterfinal. India finish the pool stage unbeaten with 10 points from three wins and a draw, securing the top spot in the Elite Pool on goal difference.
