China plans record $411 billion special treasury bond issuance.

China has agreed to issue 3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) worth of special treasury bonds next year, two sources said, which would be the highest on record, as Beijing ramps up fiscal stimulus to revive a faltering economy.

The plan for 2025 sovereign debt issuance would be a sharp increase from this year’s 1 trillion yuan and comes as Beijing moves to soften the blow from an expected increase in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports when Donald Trump takes office in January.

The proceeds will be targeted at boosting consumption via subsidy programmes, equipment upgrades by businesses and funding investments in innovation-driven advanced sectors, among other initiatives, said the sources.

Afghanistan Bans Mixed Martial Arts For Being ‘Too Violent’.

The Taliban government of Afghanistan has officially banned mixed martial arts (MMA), deeming the sport un-Islamic. The decision was announced by the country’s sports authority on Wednesday, following an investigation by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.

The Taliban’s morality police conducted a thorough review of MMA, ultimately concluding that the sport contains elements that conflict with sharia, or Islamic law. “It was found that the sport is problematic with respect to sharia and it has many aspects which are contradictory to the teachings of Islam,” the sports authority stated in a message to AFP. Consequently, the government has decided to prohibit the practice and promotion of mixed martial arts throughout Afghanistan.

An official from the sports authority elaborated on the decision, explaining to local media that MMA was banned partly due to its violent nature, which poses significant risks of injury or even death to participants. This aligns with the Taliban’s broader efforts to enforce a conservative interpretation of Islamic principles since their return to power in 2021.

The ban on MMA is part of a wider campaign by the Taliban to regulate public behavior and activities according to their interpretation of Islamic law. Recently, the government ratified a morality law that formalizes various rules on conduct and dress, including a mandate that men must not wear shorts above the knee.

Dutch-Moroccan Footballer Donates €500k Payout from His Club to Gaza Children.

Dutch footballer Anwar El Ghazi has announced he will donate €500,000 of his recent settlement to support children in Gaza.

This amount represents one-third of the total sum he received from Mainz 05 after a German court ruled that his contract termination was unjust.

El Ghazi’s contract with Mainz was terminated in November 2023, a month after the Bundesliga club suspended him for a social media post expressing solidarity with Palestinians during the intensifying Israel-Hamas conflict.

The termination followed a period of heightened violence, including Hamas’s attack on southern Israel in October 2023, which led to a severe military response and substantial casualties on both sides.

The German Labour Court’s ruling last month deemed Mainz’s action as wrongful and mandated compensation for the nine months’ wages owed to El Ghazi, amounting to €1.7 million. The footballer received a payout of €1.5 million from the club.

In his statement on social media, El Ghazi emphasized that the legal dispute was never about financial gain.

ATM Card Blocked? Beware of This SMS Scam Making Rounds Again.

There is a common SMS scam that has surfaced yet again. This text message warns you that the State Bank has blocked your ATM card due to non-verification and you need to contact a certain phone number to keep using your card.

Note that the SMS comes from someone’s phone number rather than an official number. It provides another personal mobile number for you to contact rather than a bank helpline. It also communicates in poor English, which is usually not the case with texts from official sources. You can also confirm if your debit/credit card works through your banking app or by using it at an ATM.
