China: Chinese Scientists Report First Likely Sighting of Black-Hole Devouring White Dwarf! (12.2.2026)

Chinese astronomers said they have likely captured the first direct evidence of a mid-sized black hole ripping apart and consuming a white dwarf star, shedding new light on a long-theorized but rarely observed cosmic process.

The discovery is based on observations of a powerful high-energy space explosion known as EP250702a, detected by China’s Einstein Probe satellite, according to the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The findings were published this month in the journal Science Bulletin.

Mid-sized black holes, thought to bridge the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes, are difficult to detect because they produce few observable signals unless actively feeding on nearby matter.

IOC Internet Investigation 2026

UK: US Internet Companies Scrutinised Across Western World! (12.2.2026)

These concerns relate to whether personal data has been processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, and whether appropriate safeguards were built into Grok’s design and deployment to prevent the generation of harmful manipulated images using personal data. Where those safeguards fail, individuals lose control of their personal data in ways that expose them to serious harm. Examining these risks is central to the ICO’s role in protecting people’s rights and holding organisations to account as they design and deploy AI technology.  

Nalta Issues Chinese New Year Stamps - 2026

Malta: Commemorative Stamp – Celebrating Chinese Lunar Year of the Horse – Issued! (12.2.2026)

According to MaltaPost, the Year of the Horse stamp features an elegant design that blends elements of traditional Chinese silk luo with artistic concepts inspired by Maltese lace-making. The stamp will be available at major post offices across Malta and through online sales channels.

Speaking at the ceremony, Chinese Ambassador to Malta Zhang Zuo said that the stamp, carrying messages of friendship and good wishes, would become a warm and positive chapter in the history of cultural exchanges between China and Malta.

Malta’s Ambassador to China John Busuttil, who addressed the event via video link, said that the zodiac stamp project serves as a vivid example of bilateral friendship and offers the Maltese public greater insight into China’s rich cultural heritage.

China: Palaeontologists Unearth New Dinosaur Species with Never-Before-Seen Skin Structures! (11.2.2026)

The new species was a type of iguanodontian, a major group of ornithopod dinosaurs.

Evolutionarily, they sit between small, early bipedal ornithopods and the later, highly specialized duck-billed dinosaurs (hadrosaurs).

“Iguanodontia were the dominant herbivorous dinosaurs in most terrestrial ecosystems throughout the Cretaceous,” said Dr. Pascal Godefroit from the Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels and his colleagues.

“The clade reached its zenith during the closing stage of this period, as hadrosaurids — or duck-billed dinosaurs — spread over most continents.”

“The discovery of remarkable ‘mummies’ from North America and Mongolia revealed precious information about hadrosaurid integument, which consisted of an intricate and often mosaic arrangement of tubercle-like and non-imbricating scales, with enlarged tabular scales along their dorsal midline.”

Trump & Epstein Discuss the Scientific Development of the West!

China: Epstein’s Ties to Scientists ‘Deeper Than Previously Known’ – Nature Report! (10.2.2026)

Despite Epstein’s initial conviction for sex crimes in 2008, some scientists continued to associate with him and accept his funding. For instance, Epstein donated 800,000 U.S. dollars to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a move that eventually led to the resignation of two scientists and the suspension of another.

While mentions of the researchers in the files do not necessarily indicate wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein’s criminal activity, the details shed light on how deeply he was involved in the scientific fields he funded, said Nature.

The latest batch of files disclosed new details regarding interactions between Epstein and the scientists. Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist whose science-outreach organization received 250,000 U.S. dollars from Epstein, was advised by the financier via email to offer “no comment” as Krauss responded to media inquiries about an investigation of sexual misconduct that led to Krauss’s ousting from Arizona State University in Tempe.

Chinese Nationals "Going Home"!

Cambodia: 110 Chinese Nationals Deported for Suspected Online Fraud! (10.2.2026)

The group was repatriated on a chartered flight organized by Cambodia’s General Department of Immigration, with Chinese police participating in the transfer process.

China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Wang Wenbin, met with Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Sar Sokha, earlier on Saturday to discuss cooperation in combating telecom and online fraud.

Wang said China places high importance on protecting the safety and legal rights of its citizens in Cambodia and has raised concerns with Cambodian authorities over recent cases involving missing Chinese nationals, many of which he said were linked to online fraud.
