In a declaration, the military alliance demanded that China halt shipments of “weapons components” and other technology critical to the rebuilding of the Russian military. China cannot enable the war “without this negatively impacting its interests and reputation,” the declaration said, particularly calling out China’s “large-scale support for Russia’s defense industrial base.” Potential costs were not specified, though the natural first step would be economic sanctions that barred China from parts of global markets. The declaration also blames China for “malicious cyber- and hybrid activities, including disinformation” aimed at Europe and the U.S. Background: Many European leaders initially dismissed the agreement between Russia and China for a “partnership without limits” as unlikely or unrealistic. But 29 months after the invasion of Ukraine, that view has changed drastically.

Explicit calls for Biden to withdraw have also increased. Senator Peter Welch of Vermont became the first Democratic senator to publicly call on the president to withdraw, and Representative Pat Ryan of New York became the eighth member of Congress to publicly call on him to drop out of the race.

ARTS AND IDEAS [A pile of photos made to look like snapshots shows famous literary figures including Jonathan Franzen, Amanda Gorman, Doris Lessing, Ursula K. Le Guin, Paul Beatty, Prince Harry and Colleen Hoover.] The New York Times 25 years of memorable literary moments The New York Times Book Review looked back on moments that made news in the book world this century. Here’s a selection: 2001: Oprah picks Jonathan Franzen's novel “The Corrections” for her book club. When the author skewers her taste — “schmaltzy, one-dimensional” books — she rescinds the invitation. 2007: Amazon releases its first Kindle. It costs $399 and sells out in 5.5 hours. 2013: E L James’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” series, which brought erotica into the mainstream, hits a milestone of more than 100 million copies sold. 2022: More than 30 years after Iran’s ayatollah called for Salman Rushdie’s death over the novel “The Satanic Verses,” a knife-wielding man stabs the author at a literary event. 2024: Before he died in 2014, Gabriel García Márquez asked that his final novel, “Until August,” be destroyed. His family decides to publish it anyway.
