    Updated Jul 27, 2020

    BEIJING (AP) — They have the largest economies in the world. They spend more than anyone else on their militaries. From high-tech chips to control of the high seas, their interests are closely intertwined. The ongoing sharp deterioration in U.S.-China ties poses risks to both countries and the rest of the world. In the latest escalation, a U.S. consulate in Chengdu in southwestern China shuttered Monday, ordered by China to close in retaliation for the U.S. shutting down its consulate in Houston last week.

  • Black Catholics' history: Will US Catholic schools teach it?

    Updated Jul 25, 2020

    DAVID CRARY AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) - The history of Black Catholics in the U.S. is a dramatic mix of struggles and breakthroughs, but it has been largely ignored in the curriculum of Catholic schools.

In the archdioceses of Chicago and...
