It is thought to have formed around ancient stars near the centre of the Milky Way and may be older than the solar system itself, offering rare insight into the composition and evolution of exoplanetary material.

The Tianwen-1 team began preparing for the observation in early September this year. With ATLAS moving at about 58 kilometres per second and appearing 10,000 to 100,000 times dimmer than the Martian surface, the mission faced an extreme technical challenge in image targeting and stability.

Originally designed for Mars surface observation, Tianwen-1 has been orbiting the planet since February 2021.

The successful observation of ATLAS marks an extension of the probe’s mission, serving as a test for China’s upcoming Tianwen-2 asteroid mission.

Professor Zhao Gaofeng, director of thoracic surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, led the procedure on a 20-centimeter mediastinal tumour that had been pressing against the patient’s heart, lungs, and major blood vessels.

Zhao said the tumour had an “extremely abnormal blood supply” from three unusual arteries. “We have never seen anything like this,” he added.

“It was the most difficult operation I’ve ever performed in terms of blood loss – possibly the most challenging of its kind.”

The 50-year-old patient, surnamed Shi, had previously undergone surgery twice elsewhere, but doctors abandoned both operations because of the high risk of bleeding.

Shi recovered smoothly and has since been discharged from the hospital.

Duenas views the expo as an effective platform for initial contact with Chinese institutions, which has yielded over 30 cooperation projects for the company, some of which originated during previous expos.

“China is a strategic ally in the field of pharmaceutical cooperation, offering a framework for exchange with entities that share common objectives,” he said.

The executive also noted that participation in the expo is a key element in the future projection of relations between Cuba and China, within the framework of the China-Cuba community with a shared future and the Belt and Road Initiative.

“For us, this is undoubtedly a strategic element, part of a forward-looking vision for future relations and potential development,” said Duenas.

Kim Jong Un Pays Respect to Killed Chinese People's Volunteers!

After 1948 – this ethnic Korean movement was assisted by Socialist China. When the US caused the war of 1950-1953 – the USSR provided the Red Airforce to guard the skies over North Korea and Soviet Technicians to aid the mechanical development of the North Korean military. Meanwhile, Socialist China organised millions of “Chinese People Volunteers” (CPV) who comprised the Land Forces of the “Internationalist” effort to free North (and South) Korea from US domination. The fact that the CPV had very little modern or advanced military equipment – and yet still achieved significant victories – is remarkable. Through sheer will-power the CPV (together with the North Korean Forces) inflicted endless defeats and reversals upon the US (and UN) Forces.
