WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
🇨🇳 Chinese espionage is sweeping Europe. France, Germany, and the U.K. have been the center of Chinese espionage operations seeking to obtain highly classified military technology. While the Chinese vehemently deny any involvement with espionage, Western intelligence officials anticipate an escalation of such activities in Europe and the U.S. as public opinion hardens against China.
🇺🇦 Ukrainian troops are retreating from the eastern front. Military supply shortages have caused the Ukrainians to flee several towns on their eastern border as Russian troops remain better equipped. While the Russians haven't yet made tactical gains in the region, they may exploit Ukraine's vulnerabilities while they await shipments of American arms.

Narendra Modi of plotting to kill a vocal critic of the prime minister, who also happens to be a U.S. citizen. The target in question is a member of a rising Sikh separatist group and is the latest thwarted attack against Indian-linked Americans and Canadians.
