The Pentagon believes China’s stockpiles will rival those of the U.S. and Russia over the next decade. The revised strategy, called the Nuclear Employment Guidance, also seeks, for the first time, to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear challenges from China, Russia and North Korea. The document, updated every four years or so, is so highly classified that there are no electronic copies, only a small number of hard copies distributed to a select few officials. Two Biden administration officials were allowed to allude to the change in recent speeches, ahead of a more detailed, unclassified notification to Congress expected before Biden leaves office. The new document is a stark reminder that whoever wins in November will confront a changed and far more volatile nuclear landscape than the one that existed just three years ago. Context: In the past, the likelihood that adversaries of the U.S. could coordinate to outmaneuver the country’s nuclear arsenal seemed remote. But the emerging partnership between Russia and China and the conventional arms that North Korea and Iran are providing to Russia for the war in Ukraine have fundamentally changed Washington’s thinking.

Five of them were already known to be dead. The exact circumstances of their deaths were not immediately clear. Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, said that the bodies had been retrieved from Hamas tunnels beneath the city of Khan Younis in a “complex operation.” The recovery highlighted the plight of the more than 100 captives that still remain in the Palestinian enclave, at least 30 of whom are believed to be dead. Of the roughly 250 people the Israeli authorities say were taken hostage during the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack, Israeli forces have so far rescued only seven hostages alive. Scores of others, mostly women and children, were returned to Israel during a weeklong cease-fire last November.

This will be on top of the 10 percent charged for E.V.s produced there. The E.U. began investigating Chinese automakers in October. Companies that cooperated with the investigation, including the German automakers BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen, face tariffs of 21.3 percent for cars they produce in China. The updated tariffs are meant to level the playing field with Chinese E.V. manufacturers. Negotiations are ongoing, and China could propose measures to avoid the tariffs, such as reducing state subsidies, though this move is unlikely.
