He noted that since the start of the Ukraine crisis, China has issued several announcements regarding drone export controls, clearly stipulating that non-controlled civilian drones must not be used for military purposes in violation of regulations.

Relevant departments have strengthened their review and approval processes for drone export permits in accordance with the law, and have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal exports, He added.

China will resolutely defend its legitimate rights and interests against malicious acts that sanction or suppress Chinese companies under the pretext of Russia-related issues, the spokesperson said.

Asnti-US Sanctions

Zimbabwe: Broad Alliance Against Sanctions (BAAS) Protests US -Imposed Sanctions! (26.10.2024)

Mnangagwa noted that sanctions are impairing Zimbabwe’s quest to achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 of achieving inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development over a 50-year period.

“In the face of these realities which threaten our sovereignty and integrity as a nation, it is our individual and collective duty to re-double our efforts to increase production, productivity, and transformational projects, for the prosperity of our motherland, Zimbabwe,” he said.

Mnangagwa also officially launched a digital national anti-sanctions petition program for Zimbabweans to express their rejection of the sanctions.

China Supports Palestine!

UN Supports China’s Stance on Human Rights! (25.10.2024)

Venezuela, representing the Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations, reiterated the opposition to the “politicization of human rights and divisive actions”, criticizing “Western interference in other countries’ internal affairs under the guise of human rights”.

“The human rights situation that should gather the most attention at the Committee this year is undoubtedly that of Gaza,” Fu Cong, China’s permanent representative said. He called it “double standards” to downplay the humanitarian situation in Gaza while accusing China regarding issues in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

He accused Australia and the U.S. of “using human rights as a pretext to interfere in China’s internal affairs, curb its development, and broadly suppress developing countries that adhere to an independent and autonomous foreign policy.”

Zhao Xuejun - foreign spy!

China: Foreign Use of Spy-Satellites Thwarted! (25.10.2024)

In recent years, state security bodies worked with relevant departments to handle cases in which foreign spies tried to steal secrets in China’s space sector, effectively suppressing foreign intelligence agencies’ espionage attempts, the ministry said.

State security departments will continue to use concrete measures to safeguard China’s rights, security and interests in space, it added.

Information previously published by the ministry shows that the space sector is a focal point for Western intelligence agencies that spy on China. Their agents target scientists, designers and technicians working for State-owned contractors and have turned a handful of employees into traitors, including a senior missile designer who was exposed in 2007.

The latest spy case involving China’s space industry that has been made public was disclosed in April 2023.

Zhao Xuejun, a researcher at a State-owned institute, was approached by foreign spies while he was studying overseas and then was recruited. After returning to China, he continued to work for the foreign intelligence organization and delivered a large number of classified documents.

Shrub Ox Evolved Outside North America!

China: North American Shrub Ox Fossils Discovered in Eurasia! (24.10.2024)

Phylogenetic studies show that shrub oxen formed a sister group with musk oxen, indicating a closer evolutionary relationship between the two compared to other bovidae. 

“Building on previous research, we expanded our study to include Quaternary musk oxen and concluded that their evolution can indeed be divided into two groups: high-horned and low-horned species. These two groups migrated from Eurasia to North America during the Late Early Pleistocene to Early Middle Pleistocene, and the Late Middle Pleistocene, respectively,” Bai stated.

This research provides new material on the diversity and evolution of musk oxen and is significant for understanding faunal exchanges between Eurasia and North America during the Quaternary period.

Superbug - Linked to Rifaximin!

Australia: Research Confirms Common Antibiotic [Rifaximin] Linked to Rise of Dangerous Superbug! (24.10.2024)

Glen Carter, senior author of the study from the University of Melbourne and the Doherty Institute, said the study challenges the previously-held belief that rifaximin is low-risk for causing AMR.

“We’ve shown that rifaximin makes VRE resistant to daptomycin in a way that has not been seen before,” he said in a media release.

“It is also of concern that these daptomycin-resistant VRE might be transmitted to other patients in the hospital; a hypothesis that we are presently investigating.”

The authors of the new study said the findings highlight the critical need for effective genomics-based surveillance to detect emerging AMR.
