NHL superstars who carry the biggest offensive burdens

Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies saw its revenue drop by almost a third in the first half of 2021, with U.S. sanctions hobbling its once-dominant handset business and new business areas still in their early stages. The biggest drop came from Huawei’s consumer business group, which includes handsets, where revenue fell 47% to 135.7 billion yuan. It eked out a 0.6 percentage point rise in its net profit margin to 9.8%, largely due to efficiency improvements, a company spokesman said.

Thai authorities have detained at least 11 leaders of the country’s anti-government protest movement and deployed hundreds of police ahead of a planned demonstration on Tuesday involving a convoy of cars congregating in the centre of Bangkok. Thailand’s youth-led protest movement has seen a recent resurgence over anger about the government’s handling of the pandemic after demonstrations last year attracted hundreds of thousands of people before a crackdown by authorities. The protesters have also broken traditional taboos by demanding reform of the monarchy, risking prosecution under a lese majeste law that make insulting or defaming the king, queen, heir and regent punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
