  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n**1,243:** The number of people killed by government-ordered drone strikes in Haiti between March 1, 2025, and Jan. 21, 2026, _Human Rights Watch_ said on Tuesday. The number of armed drone attacks has been increasing in recent months as the Haitian security forces seek to regain control of areas _dominated by gangs_. Some of the strikes have gone astray, though, per HRW: 60 civilians, including 17 children, were killed by these drones.\n\n****\n\n* * *\n\n**21.8%:** The _increase_ in China’s exports during the first two months of 2026, in dollar terms, compared to the same period last year. The surge sets the world’s second-largest economy on track to beat last year’s record trade surplus of $1.2 trillion.\n\n**50,000:** The number of jobs that Volkswagen _will cut_ in Germany by 2030, the auto manufacturer announced on Tuesday. The decision follows a poor 2025 performance in which profits were nearly cut in half amid rising competition from Chinese electric vehicle exports.\n\n**6:** The number of _years_ since passenger trains last traveled between China and North Korea, after the line was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, service is restarting this week, allowing workers and students to travel easily between the two countries, which share an 840-mile border. China has long been North Korea’s biggest proponent and something of a lifeline for its stagnant economy.",
