Chinese President Xi Jinping will not attend this weeks BRICS Summit in Brazil, marking the first time the Chinese leader has missed the gathering of major emerging economies. The abrupt decision has triggered widespread speculation about internal political dynamics within China and the fraying cohesion of BRICS itself.Chinas official explanation a "scheduling conflict" and the fact that Xi already met with Brazilian President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva earlier this year, according to the South China Morning Post has been met with skepticism. Premier Li Qiang will attend the summit in Xis place, continuing a recent trend of Xi scaling back his appearances on the global stage."That doesnt make sense," said Gordon Chang, an expert on U.S.-China relations. "There are many other countries at the BRICS summit, not just Brazil. To me, its extremely significant that Xi Jinping is not going. It suggests turbulence at home there are signs hes lost control of the military and that civilian rivals are reasserting power. This is a symptom of that."RUSSIA'S PUTIN HOSTS CHINA'S XI AT MASSIVE MOSCOW MILITARY PARADE ON RED SQUAREBryan Burack of the Heritage Foundation agrees that Xis absence underscores deeper issues: "Its another indication that BRICS is not going to be Chinas vassalization of the Global South." He noted that countries like Brazil and Indonesia have recently imposed tariffs on China over industrial overcapacity and dumping, moves that suggest widening rifts within the group."China is actively harming all those countries for the most part, maybe with some exceptions, through its malign trade policies and dumping and overcapacity."Some analysts point to rising China-India friction as a contributing factor in Xis decision to skip the summit."China has been at war with India for decades, essentially," Burack said. "These are fundamentally opposing interests. Its difficult to see China changing its behavior in the near term, and that will keep tensions high."Indias Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take a leading role at the gathering, potentially another deterrent for Xis attendance.Another key leader Russian President Vladimir Putin is only expected to address the group by video.AFTER TRUMP'S DEPARTURE, G7 LEADERS FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENTS ON KEY ISSUESFormed by Brazil, Russia, India and China and later joined by South Africa, BRICS was envisioned as a non-Western counterweight to G7 dominance. It has expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE and, most recently, Indonesia, strengthening its economic footprint.Economist Christian Briggs highlighted BRICSs massive scale: "BRICS now comprises 12 full members and up to 23 when counting partners. Collectively, they account for over 60% of the worlds GDP and around 75% of the global population. They control vast natural resources and a growing share of global trade flows."Yet despite its scale, the bloc remains ideologically and strategically fragmented. "Its a group of countries that hate each other," Burack said bluntly. "China is harming many of them through unfair trade practices. Theres not a lot of incentive for real unity."The alliances aspirations to challenge the U.S. dollar through alternative payment systems and a potential BRICS currency have gained media traction but experts caution against overestimating this threat."Theres been a lot of fearmongering about a BRICS currency," said Burack. "But the interests of these countries are completely divergent. Theres more smoke than fire when it comes to a currency challenge to the dollar."Chang echoed this skepticism: "The only country that can challenge the dollar is the United States. Weakness in the dollar is due to what we are doing domestically, not what the BRICS are doing."Still, Briggs offered a counterpoint, arguing that BRICS members are already reshaping global currency flows."Theyre moving away from the dollar into digital yuan, rupees, rubles. China has launched a SWIFT alternative already adopted by the Caribbean banking sector trillions of dollars are shifting."MACRON CHIDES TRUMP, CHINA OVER TRADE, UKRAINE, GAZA: POLICIES 'WILL KILL GLOBAL ORDER'While its cohesion remains questionable, BRICS poses a long-term challenge to U.S. influence particularly in regions where Washington has retreated diplomatically and economically."China filled the void left by the U.S. in places like Africa," said Briggs. "Now it controls about 38% of the worlds minerals. Meanwhile, Russias economy has doubled despite sanctions, because they preemptively reduced reliance on the dollar."Yet Chang sees India as a brake on any aggressive anti-Western tilt. "BRICS has an I in itand thats India. Modi doesnt want to be part of an anti-Western bloc. As long as Indias in BRICS, the rest of the world is safe."To some, Xi's no-show signals instability in Beijing. To others, the opposite: it demonstrates confidence in China's dominance over the other BRICS members."He doesnt have to be there," Briggs contended. "Xis power allows him to delegate. China is trading with nearly 80% of the world now. Hes moving the agenda forward even in absentia."Whats clear is that BRICS continues to evolve its internal contradictions as visible as its geopolitical ambitions. Whether Xi's absence marks a retreat or a recalibration remains one of the key questions hovering over the summit in Brazil.

As millions prepare to snag the best deals during Amazon Prime Day, cybercriminals are preparing too, just not in the way you'd hope.Security researchers have uncovered more than 120,000 fake Amazon websites designed to scam excited shoppers during the retail giant's annual shopping event.With sales set to begin July 8 and run through July 11, the timing couldn't be more sinister. These scam websites, filled with phishing traps, malware and fake products, were created in the past two months, just in time for the Prime Day rush.GRAB PRIME DAY DEALS EARLY: SMART HOME DEVICES, KITCHEN APPLIANCES, CLOTHES AND SHOES FOR LESS THAN $50Amazon Prime Day is one of the most anticipated online shopping events of the year, and that makes it a goldmine for scammers. Cybercriminals know shoppers are often in a hurry, eager to grab deals before they disappear. That urgency can lead to poor judgment and careless clicks.Amazon is actively fighting back against these threats. In 2024, the company initiated takedowns of more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 phone numbers used in impersonation schemes. Amazon also partners with law enforcement agencies around the world to ensure scammers are held accountable, referring hundreds of bad actors to authorities for further investigation and prosecution.But the AI-amplified threats are coming faster than ever, which means you need to be more vigilant than ever when shopping for deals.While Amazon hasn't released a formal statement yet, the company maintains ongoing efforts to detect and remove fraudulent listings and suspicious domains. Amazon also reminds customers that it will never ask for payment via email or phone, nor request gift cards as a form of payment. Even so, the burden of protection often falls on consumers. Knowing what to watch for can make all the difference.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREStaying safe during Prime Day means slowing down and thinking before you click. Below are key ways to protect your personal and financial information from Amazon Prime Day scams.Always make your purchases through Amazon.com or the official Amazon app. Avoid clicking on links from texts, emails, social media posts or pop-up ads, even if they appear to come from Amazon. Scammers often use lookalike pages to steal your information. The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices atCyberGuy.com/LockUpYourTech.Amazon will never call and ask for your login credentials, passwords or personal details. If you get a call that pressures you to "verify your account," hang up. It's a scam.No legitimate Amazon representative will ask you to pay using gift cards. If someone instructs you to buy a gift card and to send them the code, it's 100% a scam. End the conversation immediately.Scammers create fake websites with small, easy-to-miss spelling differences, like arnazon.com or amaz0n-sale.com. Before you enter any sensitive info, take a second to look closely at the web address.If you encounter a scam attempt, report it to Amazon through their official support page. You can also report phishing sites to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Reporting helps shut down fraud faster.Make sure your Amazon account uses a strong, unique password that you don't use anywhere else. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords. Also, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Amazon account for an extra layer of security.Get more details about my best expert-reviewed Password Managers of 2025 atCyberguy.com/Passwords.Regularly update your computer, smartphone, and the Amazon app to patch security vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals often exploit outdated software to gain access.Public Wi-Fi networks can be insecure.

Early detection can minimize damage.If a deal looks unbelievably cheap or comes from an unfamiliar seller, double-check the product reviews and seller ratings on Amazon. Scammers often lure buyers with unrealistic prices.Amazon Prime Day scams are growing more sophisticated, and the sheer scale of fake websites, over 120,000, is alarming. But by staying alert, verifying websites, and following safe shopping habits, you can protect yourself and still take advantage of the sales.

Earlier this year, a terrifying claim swept headlines and social media:"You have a spoons worth of plastic in your brain."Thewarning, basedonastudypublished inNature Medicine, set off a cultural firestorm, dominating news cycles, TikToks and dinner table conversations. It wasthekind of phrase designed to go viral, and it did.But heres what didnt go viral:thefollow-up.Experts laterflaggedthestudy for a critical flaw: To quantifymicroplasticsin samples,thestudy reliedonequipment with limitations in distinguishing plastics from other materials, leading to potential false positives.WHY ARE MAJOR MUSEUMS PUSHING CLIMATE CHANGE INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA?An independent expert noted:"Themethod is lauded for its ability to detect smaller micro- and nanoplastics than other methods can,but it will give you a lot of false positivesif you do not adequately remove biological material fromthesample. Most ofthepresumed plasticthey found is polyethylene, which to me really indicates thatthey didnt really clean uptheir samples properly."Thenuance, though important, didnt maketheheadlines.This highlights a broader issue:theres no globally standardized methods forthecollection, detection and quantification ofmicroplastics. Somemicroplasticsstudies may fail to identify whethertheparticle is a mineral, an organic material or something else, yet still misidentifythem and claimthey aremicroplastics.And without standardized methodologies for identifying and quantifyingthedifferent types of particles, it is difficult to generate reliable data and assesstheir true impact.TheU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states,"Whilethere are many studiesonmicroplasticsin food,thecurrent state of science is limited in its ability to inform regulatory risk assessment due to several factors, including a continued lack of standardized definitions, reference materials,sample collection and preparation procedures, and appropriate quality controls, to name a few."ALASKAS OIL RESERVES ARE AMERICAS NATIONAL SECURITY SHIELDYet recent coverage has prioritized drama over scientific nuance, creating confusion rather than clarity.Lets be clear:microplasticsare real. Everyday life, from tire dust to synthetic fibers, producesthese particles.Theyre intheenvironment and potentially our bodies. But presence alone doesnt constitute a crisis.Thereal question is what this means for human health and how to respond responsibly.TheFDA has made clearthat "current scientific evidence does not demonstrate that levels ofmicroplasticsor nanoplastics detected in foods pose a risk to human health."When we treat preliminary research as settled science or worse, viral clickbait we losetheability to make smart decisions. This is particularly true inthecase of materials like PET,theplastic used in food packaging, water bottles and medical supplies. PET is amongthesafest, most rigorously tested plastics, approved globally by regulators includingtheFDA and EFSA.Why is this misinformation dangerous? Because it undermines trust in safe and sustainable materials like PET, which is both lightweight and recyclable.MARIJUANA IS NOT HARMLESS. THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE AND THE EVIDENCE KEEPS GROWINGAccording to life cycleassessments(LCA), a PET bottle producessignificantly lower greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions than alternative containers like glass bottles or aluminum cans, and requires less energy to produce. It enables safe hydration, reduces food waste and makes modern healthcare possible.Yet consumers increasingly question PET, not because science changed, but because headlines did. That disconnect carries real-world consequences.This is exactly why it is so important for our regulatory agencies to step up and addressthelack of standardization inmicroplasticsresearch and to develop methods and standards that allow for consistent and comparable results in research.Onlythen will we be able to have a more disciplined public conversation aroundmicroplasticsthat we can be confident is basedondependable evidence, and which stopstheconfusion of comparing apples to oranges.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONNone of this is to dismissthebroader challenge of plastic pollution. Our industry and society must invest in better systems: smarter product design, stronger recycling infrastructure and more rigorous scientific research.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching great Orel Hershiser opened up old wounds on Friday night when he brought up the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal during the team's historic 18-1 rout at Dodger Stadium.The Astros put on a show in Friday nights series opener between the two teams and handed Los Angeles its worst loss in the history of Dodger Stadium. The beatdown was so bad that Hershiser, now a broadcaster for the Dodgers, seemed to suggest foul play."I dont want to open an old wound, but in some ways, theyre swinging at these breaking balls like they know what is coming," Hershiser said in the third inning after Astros outfielder Cam Smith doubled off Dodgers rookie Ben Casparius in the third inning.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWSHershiser was referring to the Astros' 2017World Series win over the Dodgers. It was later revealed that Houston was stealing signs with the help of video and relaying pitches to batters by banging on a trash can.Jose Altuve, who was a member of that championship-winning team, was met with relentless "cheater" chants and boos during his at-bats. But the home crowd didnt distract him as he homered twice while reaching base five times and driving in five runs.DODGERS' CLAYTON KERSHAW JOINS ELITE GROUP IN MLB HISTORY AFTER REACHING 3,000 CAREER STRIKEOUTS"Yea, that was one you want to flush as soon as possible. I dont think there were many positives from this night," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said bluntly of the 17-deficit loss."I dont think Ben [Casparius]was good tonight. It seemed like they were on everything he threw tonight."Caparius allowed six runs and nine hits in three innings and struck out three.Roberts said on Friday that Caparius will likely make his return to the bullpen."At the end of the day, he's just got to execute better. There might have been 60 throws tonight, and probably only a handful executed where he wanted them to be. And that's tough to do," he said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
