California Gov. Gavin Newsom is traveling to China to talk climate change_我的网站

A |     After days of speculative chatter swirling through film circles, writer-filmmaker Rathna Kumar has stepped in to confirm what fans had already begun piecing together. His next directorial venture is officially in motion, and it arrives with an unexpected but powerful producer pairing: Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench banner and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s G Squad will jointly back the project, signalling a collaboration that has instantly commanded attention across the Industry.Rathna Kumar, who earned a reputation for sharp and emotionally textured filmmaking through Meyaadha Maan and Aadai, took to social media to share the first poster earlier today. The image credits Kaarthikeyan S of Stone Bench and Lokesh as producers, while also confirming composer Sean Roldan as part of the core team. The makers have revealed that the film’s title and first look will be dropped on December 10 at 1:29 pm, a detail that has already sparked excited speculation among fans.The poster itself presents an intriguing visual narrative. A group of youngsters is seen trying to push a bus forward, their effort an almost metaphorical tug against the inertia of everyday life. At the centre of the frame, however, stand two lovers, touching foreheads and seemingly oblivious to everything around them. The contrast between communal struggle and private connection gives the image a striking emotional duality.Stone Bench captioned the poster with the line, "It might look like a breakdown... but it's actually the beginning," followed by a love emoticon. The text evokes the calm that sometimes emerges from chaos, or the breakthroughs that are often disguised as setbacks. It also aligns with the contemporary markers visible on the poster, including the words "Tinder, Bumble, Oyo," suggesting a story rooted in modern dating culture and urban emotional rhythms.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Stone Bench (@stonebenchers)               A Return to Direction at a Formative Career Moment     For Rathna Kumar, this film marks a return to direction after Gulu Gulu in 2022. Though away from the director’s chair for a brief period, he remained visible within Tamil cinema through his dialogue contributions to Master and Vikram, two key films in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s expanding creative universe. This new project, backed by Lokesh himself alongside Karthik Subbaraj, reflects the trust and camaraderie that has evolved within this circle of filmmakers.Thematically, the poster points toward a Chennai-based drama that examines how relationships unfold in a generation shaped by immediacy, exhaustion, and the desire to feel deeply in spite of it all. Rathna Kumar’s earlier films displayed an instinct for capturing the insecurities and contradictions of young people. This new narrative appears to draw from the same well, but with a tone that might be more grounded, more intimate, and more reflective of current emotional landscapes.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Rathna Kumar (@mr.rathna)               A Collaboration That Suggests Ambition     The partnership between Stone Bench and G Squad carries its own quiet significance. Both banners have nurtured projects that experiment with tone and form while appealing to mainstream audiences. Their involvement here hints at a film that is neither strictly commercial nor strictly indie but something that seeks to find resonance across both spaces.Adding to the conversation is the fact that only a few days ago, Rathna Kumar publicly praised Angammal, a film presented by Stone Bench. The timing now feels serendipitous, revealing how mutual admiration often precedes collaboration within Tamil cinema’s creative networks.As audiences await the title and first look reveal, the early signs point to a project that blends youthful unpredictability with emotional immediacy. If the poster is any indication, Rathna Kumar’s comeback has both stylistic identity and thematic intent on its side.Also Read: The Shooting For Karthi’s Sardar 2 Has Wrapped Up。    SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom will try to reinforce his state's role as a global leader on climate change as he begins a weeklong visit to China on Monday, a trip that presents both political risk and opportunity for crucial international collaboration. Newsom’s tour begins with a discussion in Hong Kong before he continues on to Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu. He'll visit the first Chinese city to deploy an all-electric bus fleet, tour an offshore wind facility and see a wetlands preserve. He’ll sign agreements with leaders of Chinese provinces to set mutual commitments on a host of climate goals. California has already signed dozens of such agreements with subnational governments. Newsom’s agenda also includes conversations on “strengthening cultural ties and combating xenophobia,” and he will visit a school with his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. His trip to China follows a brief visit to Israel. Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled there to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions, and since leaving office, Brown has launched the California-China Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.However, Newsom's trip comes at a very different political moment, with rising tensions between the United States and China over trade, human rights, the future of Taiwan and international conflicts. It follows a recent visit to Beijing by a congressional delegation led by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who sought a sharper condemnation of Hamas by the Chinese government. Climate remains one area where collaboration is seen as both possible and necessary. Both countries appear to have fully re-engaged in the run-up to the next U.N. climate change conference, which opens Nov. 30 in Dubai.China suspended climate and other talks with the U.S. in August 2022 to show its anger over a visit by then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan. Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to resume climate talks three months later at a meeting with President Joe Biden in Indonesia.John Kerry, the U.S. climate envoy, held in-person meetings in Beijing in July, and he and Chinese counterpart Xie Zhenhua have held regular video calls since then, Xie told a forum in Beijing last month.David Victor, a professor and co-director of the Deep Decarbonization Initiative at the University of California, San Diego, said state-level dialogue is an important avenue for progress given the complicated politics of the U.S.-China relationship. Animosity between the two countries has led to less travel and fewer joint research projects.“The states really are where anything substantive is going to happen,” Victor said, while at the national level, “there’s no political constituency for opening the door and having a deeper relationship.”The Newsom administration has been in close contact with the White House and Kerry ahead of the governor’s trip, said Lauren Sanchez, the governor's senior climate adviser. The White House did not comment on Newsom’s trip.Brown, the former governor, said political tensions don’t change the fact that greenhouse gases are still being emitted at an alarming rate.“Cooperation is the absolute requirement. And at this time, I would say California has been pushing the federal government in the direction of more dialogue with China,” Brown said. “It has a very important long-term effect.”California has passed some of the world’s most aggressive vehicle emissions rules, and Newsom has moved to ban the sale of most new gas-powered cars in the state by 2035. The state has a mandate to be carbon neutral by 2045, meaning it will remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as it emits. California is already dealing with drought and wildfires made worse by climate change. Still, the state is responsible for less than 1% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions, meaning its efforts can go only so far without global partnerships, Sanchez said. In 2020, China was responsible for more than 30% of global carbon dioxide emissions, compared with the U.S. at 13.5%. “It’s going to be very difficult to tackle the climate crisis just here in California,” Sanchez said. “Climate change is a global issue, it requires global partnerships.”California has shared its expertise on air pollution regulations, carbon pricing programs and conservation, Sanchez said. China, meanwhile, is now more advanced at electrifying the transportation fleet and deploying offshore wind — it has more gigawatts of offshore wind power than the rest of the world combined, Sanchez said. The Biden administration recently held an auction for five offshore wind lease areas along the U.S. West Coast. Newsom's second term ends in January 2026, and he cannot seek re-election. He has repeatedly denied an interest in running for president, but he has sought to boost his national profile by campaigning for Democrats in Republican-led states and even agreeing to debate GOP presidential hopeful and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in late November. The international trip stands to bolster Newsom's political and policy credentials beyond his state. However, opponents will likely be on the lookout for any signs of coziness between him and China's communist government that could be used against him in the future. California Republicans said Newsom shouldn’t be visiting China at a time of tensions over international conflicts and the suppression of free speech. Instead he should focus on problems at home like poverty and crime, Republican state Assembly Leader James Gallagher said in a statement. “Newsom shouldn’t be playing make-believe diplomat while ignoring the challenges facing our state,” he said. But climate experts said California has a significant role to play in advancing global climate policy. “It’s a major clean energy leader. It’s one of the leading economies in the world. It has a huge amount of technical expertise,” said Nathaniel Keohane, president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. “There’s a natural role for California and the California governor.”___Megerian reported from Washington.
