Supersonic Aeroplane!

China: Socialist Technology Develops “Super-Sonic” Aeroplane”! (21.1.2025)

Concorde, the first supersonic passenger-carrying commercial airplane, was built jointly by aircraft manufacturers in the United Kingdom and France. It was first flown in 1969 and was put into commercial operation in 1976. However, the epochal jetliner did not fit well in the civil aviation industry due to its loud noise, high fares, stringent requirements for airports and environmental impact.

If everything goes according to plan, the prototype for a commercial-use supersonic airliner named Dasheng — or Monkey King, a legendary hero in Chinese mythology — is expected to conduct its maiden flight in 2030. If that becomes reality, Dasheng will revolutionize the global air transportation sector, he added.

“Just imagine making an intercontinental flight within just two to three hours that you would now spend 10 hours or longer on,” Deng said.

Internationally, enterprises in the United States and Europe have been racing to design and construct a new generation of supersonic airliners to meet the potential demand of fast intercontinental travel.

Cuba is Not Alone!

Havana: In the Face of the Imperialist Onslaught – Cuba Will Win! Statement of the Revolutionary Government! (21.1.2025)

This new act of aggression by the United States government against the Cuban people shows, once again, the true, cruel, merciless objective of these and so many other measures of siege and suffocation, which are applied against Cuba for the purpose of domination. It is a reaction of impotence in the face of the inability to bend our will and in the face of the respect, sympathy and support that the Revolution inspires among the peoples of the world.

The economic blockade, its reinforcement and the new aggressive measures will continue to weigh, with a very damaging effect, on our economy, the standard of living, the potential for development and the legitimate dreams of justice and well-being of the Cuban people, as has been the case in recent years.

UN Began With Good Intentions!

Russia: USSR and [1945] Founding of the UN 80 Years Ago! (21.1.2025)

The creation of the United Nations was the result of the Great Victory in World War II, which was achieved thanks to an unparalleled feat performed by Soviet soldiers and millions of lives of citizens of the USSR, as well as of other states that were part of the Allied troops. The Soviet Union, the successor country to which Russia is now, was at the origins of the UN. It was in Moscow in the autumn of 1943 that the Allies, i.e. representatives of the USSR, the United Kingdom and the USA, agreed to establish an international organisation to protect future generations from another global conflict. Russia then took the leading role in the process, and the idea was refined and finally put into practice at the San Francisco Conference in 1945. The UN became the core of the system developed at the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, with the UN Charter setting out the fundamental norms of international law that formed the Decalogue for the behaviour of states in the international arena.

China Manned Space Agency (CMSA)

China: Logos Unveiled for 3 “Socialist” Space Missions in 2025! (20.1.2025)

According to the CMSA, crews for the Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 missions will consist of three astronauts each. Shenzhou-20 is set to dock with the radial port of the space station’s core module, while Shenzhou-21 will dock with its front port.

The main tasks of the astronauts will include extravehicular activities, cargo outbound deliveries via the station’s cargo airlock module, and the conducting of space science experiments and technology tests.

In the second half of 2025, China plans to launch the Tianzhou-9 cargo spacecraft from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in its southern Hainan Province. This mission will deliver supplies for astronauts, propellants to ensure the space station’s operation, various types of payloads, and more.

China’s manned space station project has entered its application and development stage — with two manned spacecraft missions and one to two cargo missions planned annually.

Uyghur Work Hard!

China: Xinjiang Vows to Fight Against US Sanctions! (20.1.2025)

The mutual visits resulted in the signing of several economic and trade cooperation agreements, and imports and exports to the five Central Asian countries accounted for 67.9 percent of the region’s total trade last year.

In addition, as a result of many trips by delegations of foreign politicians, diplomats, reporters, scholars and entrepreneurs to Xinjiang, and a series of international symposiums in the autonomous region, international society has gained a better understanding of the real Xinjiang, Erkin Tuniyaz, the chairman, said.

“The region has also shown the world that it’s confident about further opening-up and having more friends and partners,” he said.

Meanwhile, the region has continued to improve its law-based routine counterterrorism and stability maintenance system. By taking firm legal measures to crack down on and prevent the activities of separatists, religious extremists and terrorists, Xinjiang is determined to resolutely nip the risks of violent terrorism in the bud and keep terrorist threats outside its borders, the chairman said.
