The US has announced sanctions against the International Criminal Court, based in The Hague, threatening to freeze its US assets and cut it off from American companies.

The ICC prosecutes people accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes when their home countries do not do so.

Washington opposes the court's investigations, including its work on possible US war crimes in Afghanistan and its arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

The sanctions are due to take effect after a six-month delay, and could also affect organisations outside the US that work with the court.

China’s exports rose 36.3% in September from a year earlier, faster than economists had expected and up from 25% growth in August.

Imports also grew 31%, bringing the monthly trade surplus—the value of exports minus imports—to US$133.53 billion.

Strong global demand for technology goods, including components used in artificial intelligence systems, helped support shipments.

The surplus adds to China’s trade imbalance with partners such as the European Union, which has called on Beijing to address it.
