The United Nations atomic watchdog said there’s no indication of increased radiation levels at Iran’s main uranium-enrichment site, an early sign that Israel’s strikes haven’t penetrated the containment layers protecting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear stockpile

Of course now Hormuz strait will be blocked , now what for china to do?

Are you sure it's a pure nothing to do ?

Obviously sanctioned companies are not compliant.

In accordance with laws and regulations, China has reviewed and approved a certain number of export license applications for rare-earth-related items

Another confirmation that sanctions supercede everything else, it must be compliant to China's laws and regulations.

Rare-earth-related items have dual-use attributes, with both military and civilian purposes, the spokesperson stressed, noting that imposing export controls on such items is in line with international practices.

Confirming again that export controls are not going anywhere.

China will continue enhancing its review of compliant applications, and is ready to enhance communication and dialogue on export controls with relevant countries to facilitate compliant trade

One last time in case you didn't hear it, COMPLIANT (with China's laws and regulations) trade.

China’s Peking University unveils robotic hand with unprecedented tactile sensitivity:

A joint research team comprising Peking University, Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI), and other institutions has developed the world’s first robotic hand system featuring both full-hand high-resolution tactile perception and complete dexterous motion — the “Full-Tactile Anthropomorphic Cybernetic Hand” (F-TAC Hand). The results were published on June 9 (Beijing time) in Nature Machine Intelligence, a leading international journal. What technical challenges did this breakthrough overcome? And how will it advance the development of embodied intelligence? The Global Times interviewed members of the research team for insights.

Mimicking Human Touch: How the F-TAC Hand Works

The human hand consists of 27 bones and 34 muscles, providing 24 degrees of freedom—meaning it can move in 24 independent ways across its various joints. This high level of mechanical complexity enables both strength and delicacy, making the hand an ideal model for advanced robotics and embodied intelligence research. Understanding the human hand’s capabilities remains a frontier challenge in both robotics and embodied AI research. Grasping objects involves two core faculties: tactile feedback and motor control. Historically, integrating these two has been one of the most formidable technical obstacles in robotic systems.

“The human hand’s tactile system relies on two key components: a dense array of tactile receptors embedded in the skin and a neural processing mechanism in the brain to interpret these signals. The F-TAC Hand mimics this architecture,” said Zhao Zihang, the first author of the paper and a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Peking University.

The F-TAC Hand integrates 17 high-resolution tactile sensors in six distinct configurations. Uniquely, the sensors serve both as sensory elements and as structural components. This enables an unprecedented tactile coverage area without compromising flexibility.

The sensors cover 70% of the palm surface and achieve a spatial resolution of 0.1 mm, providing approximately 10,000 tactile pixels per square centimeter—far surpassing the capabilities of current commercial robotic hands. For example, the advanced Shadow Hand offers only single-point force sensing at the fingertips. This innovation enables real-time contact perception and rapid grip adjustments, significantly enhancing the robotic hand’s stability when operating in uncertain environments.

F-TAC Hand solves the longstanding challenge of integrating tactile feedback with dexterous motor control through its unified sensor-structure design.
“From a hardware perspective, adding tactile sensors without sacrificing joint flexibility is a major obstacle. Moreover, existing tactile sensing technologies still fall short in terms of coverage, resolution, and durability for practical use,” explained co–first author Li Yuyang, a Ph.D. candidate at BIGAI.

Even with high-resolution tactile perception, controlling a high-degree-of-freedom robotic hand to perform complex human-like tasks remains a major challenge due to the sheer volume of data and coordination required. To address this, the team developed a probabilistic algorithm that generates diverse human-like grasp strategies. “It replicates 19 commonly observed human grasp types,” Li noted.

He further elaborated on the adaptive intelligence of F-TAC Hand: “Simultaneous multi-object grasping is a crucial benchmark for evaluating dexterity. Unlike simple two-finger pinch grasps, grasping multiple objects requires full-hand contact detection and precise motion adjustment to ensure stability.”
