Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push!

China: Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push! (15.9.2026)

With more than 10 million students enrolling in colleges and universities each year amid a boom in the higher education sector, China is building an expanding and highly skilled workforce, Lei said.

Official data shows that, by the end of 2025, China had about 851.36 million people ages 16 to 59, and that group had an average of 11.3 years of schooling, up 0.1 year from a year earlier.

Lei added that the annual number of newborns has remained at about 8 million despite an overall downward trend.

“Compared with other developed and developing countries, very few have births at this level, so China will still have a relatively ample labour force in the future,” he said.

Lei noted that China will continue to roll out fertility-friendly measures to ease the burden of childbirth, child-rearing and education.

Among the latest fertility support policies are the rollout of a fertility subsidy, which has so far benefited more than 30 million families, and the establishment of nearly 12,600 early pregnancy care clinics nationwide, providing counselling and assessments.

China officially donated a lunar sample collected by the Chang'e-6 mission to the UN

China: Far-Side Moon-Dust Sample Donated to UN in Vienna! (15.9.2026)

China’s handover of the lunar sample collected by Chang’e-6 to the United Nations is a concrete action to put into practice the four major global initiatives proposed by Xi, fully implement the new development philosophy featuring innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared growth, uphold true multilateralism, safeguard the authority and role of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space as the main platform for global space governance, and advance the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Shan said.

The wooden coffin was on display in the Egypt and Sudan collections

UK: Why Museum’s Last Mummy Has Been Taken-Off Display! (14.9.2026)

When I was in Egypt during the mid-1990s, I found the local Egyptians would allow virtually anything just as long as you gave them money. In airports that served Westerners – the toilets would have no toilet-paper. Egyptian “attendants” would discreetly wait until a Westerner locked the door of a convenience and then knock on the door and offer sheets of toilet paper delivered under the door for a specified amount (usually Egyptian pound notes). This is the level of cheapness we are dealing with. Virtually anything was for sale in Islamic Egypt as the Arabs who control the country now have nothing to do with pyramid-building or the Pharaohs. We saw mummy after mummy on display as we traversed around (Egypt remains the only country where I was questioned by the Airport Authorities – and asked to explain “why” I was in a “mixed-ethnicity” marriage). Knowing what I know about the shallowness of contemporary Egyptian culture – I find the pretentious bourgeois attitude relayed below to be bordering on the laughable. Why would modern Egyptians care about the remains of a different ethnic group, whose religion they do not follow or care about? Muslims over the recent centuries have damaged the pyramids they now exploit to a remarkable degree. It is funny the BBC does mention this aspect.

EU 70 Percent Negative Views

UK: Negative EU Trivia! (13.9.2026)

Do not forget – we have to finance the jack-boots of Ukraine and Israel. All the prices in the UK are around five times higher and are causing endless damage to the fabric of UK society. This, together with mass migration, is fuelling the far-right and will lead to a probable far-right election victory. During times of economic hardship and desperation – friction between ethnic groups increases. During times of economic plenty – cultural friction reduces as people enjoy the freedom their income affords. As modern capitalism involves the boom and bust cycle – the capitalists believe that a) racism is inevitable, and b) it can be staged managed to their benefit and profit. Although the capitalists flirt with the far-right as a means to control and suppress the left – in the UK at the moment the far-right looks as if it will break-out of this control mechanism and secure political power via an election.

Almeida a Worker!

Cuba: The Loss Experienced on September 11th…! (12.9.2026)

I oppose terrorism on the grounds it is an Anarchic tactic – not Marxist-Leninist – that only hurts the innocent worker. A recent US academic study suggests that the US Military – since 1945 to present – has killed around 30 million men, women, and children around the world – in its quest to establish US-style economics. Much of this can be legally described as “terrorism”. In return, the US people have suffered remarkably “low” casualties and damage. During the Nazi blanket-bombing of UK cities (1939-1945) – the British lost 60,500 people (killed) with 130,000 (wounded). Remarkably, during the “Blitz” Nazi German bombing campaign (between September-May 1940) – the UK lost a staggering 30,000-40,000 – with my mother’s family being bombed-out of their native Lewisham. Today, the US is killing school-girls in Iran and is slowly attempting to destroy Cuba. The Americans, however, would have you believe that “they” are victims.

China: Ancient Chinese Horse Reconstructed! (12.9.2026)

The horse fossils, dating back roughly 40,000 years, were first found in a cave in southwestern Siberia in Russia. Initially, only broken jawbones and teeth were discovered, without a complete skull. Over the years, related fossils have also been unearthed in North America, Africa, Siberia and northeast China. However, because the bones were scattered fragments, the animal’s true appearance had remained a mystery for more than a hundred years.

In 2022, Chinese researchers at Jilin University and Northwest A&F University in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province successfully extracted high-quality gene data from the fossils. Building on that work, they worked with American researchers in 2026, comparing the fossil data with living species, such as the Asian wild donkey and domestic horse. They reconstructed the skeleton, built up muscle structure, and eventually recreated the animal’s full appearance.
