ANALYSIS-Winter economy emerges as poster child for China's stimulus tilt to services
Beijing has been signalling a shift in its policy focus to services this year as it tries to redirect some stimulus from sometimes-wasteful investments on transport, housing and industrial infrastructure to potentially more productive areas. But it is using the same old supply-side playbook, hoping that the "build it and they will come" approach that fostered the rise of megacities like Shenzhen or the advanced manufacturing clusters throughout the country can also be applied to services and analysts caution that this can bring to the sector the same overcapacity issues that taint China's export-focused economy today.

Ecuador prison deaths climb again despite Noboa security strategy, data shows
After hundreds of Ecuadorean inmates were killed in prison riots in 2021 and 2022, President Daniel Noboa made restoring order in jails one of the central pillars of his security strategy when he took office in 2023.
While the government has sharply curbed the number of riots, figures revealed in a Reuters investigation show prison deaths are reaching levels not seen since the height of the unrest.
Deaths of inmates almost quadrupled year-on-year in 2025 due to both violence and natural causes, including a tuberculosis outbreak, according to the figures obtained by Reuters through a freedom-of-information request to the Interior Ministry. Deaths attributed to violence alone also rose fourfold from the year before.
