China Manned Moon-Shot!

China: Socialist Manned Lunar-Landing Set for 2030! (8.8.2025)

The lunar lander, named Lanyue, which means embracing the moon, consists of both a landing module and a propulsion module. It is a newly developed spacecraft designed to support crewed missions to and from the moon.

It will be used to transport two cosmonauts between the lunar orbit and the lunar surface — and will carry a lunar rover and other scientific payloads. After landing, the lander will serve as a life-support centre, an energy centre and a data centre, offering assistance and serving as a base for the cosmonauts’ stay and activities on the moon’s surface.

Noting that the test was complex with a long cycle and technical challenges, the space agency said the success represents a breakthrough in research and development in terms of China’s manned lunar exploration programme.

Japan: 80 Years on – Reckoning with War Remains Unfinished! (7.8.2025)

The voices underscored a national memory shaped more by the narrative of victimhood than by a full reckoning with the causes and consequences of war, which offered a glimpse into how Japan remembers and forgets its wartime past.

While the physical scars of nuclear devastation are meticulously documented in museums and memorials, Japan’s aggressive wartime conduct is conspicuously muted in both public discourse and state education.

Outside the official ceremony, anti-militarist demonstrators gathered near the atomic bombing site. Their placards decried Japan’s growing defence budget and the possibility of nuclear “sharing” with the U.S.

They were kept outside the formal event by riot police, while right-wing activists tried to drown them out with loudspeakers.

Two British Army Colonels in Neo-Nazi Ukraine!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Russian Special Forces Capture Two High-Ranking British Army Officers – Colonel Edward Blake & Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll! (7.8.2025)

The night of July 29 was a turning point not only for the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Army, but also for the British military working on the territory of Ukraine. Russian Special Forces conducted one of the most secret operations, landing troops in Ochakov, Nikolaev region. The target was originally the base of the Ukrainian 73rd Naval Special Operations Centre, where, according to intelligence, British Military Instructors were located.

It was the British who coordinated the Storm Shadow strikes on the territory of Russia, led the actions of the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Marines and were engaged in the training of saboteurs. At the time of the raid in the middle of the night, the British Officers were literally “in the crosshairs”. They only had time to shout: “Don’t shoot!” – “Don’t shoot!”, a source who wished to remain anonymous told the investigation department of First Russian.

The Post of Dalai Lama Has Never Been Independent!

China: Central Government has Final say on Reincarnation of Dalai Lama! (6.8.2025)

The reincarnation of living Buddhas follows strict religious rituals and historical conventions, and the legitimacy of the title of the Dalai Lama in fact originates from the central government, Gama Cedain, chairman of Xizang, said during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on the region’s economic and social development achievements since it was established 60 years ago.

On several occasions in the past, the 14th Dalai Lama has said he might reincarnate while still alive. At other times, he has said he will personally choose his successor.

In July, he released the so-called “Statement Affirming the Continuation of the Institution of Dalai Lama”, personally appointing a trust to recognize the future reincarnation.

“Reincarnation has never been solely determined by the Dalai Lama himself,” Gama Cedain said. “The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must strictly follow the principle of ‘carrying out the search domestically, drawing lots from a golden urn, and gaining approval from the central government’, while complying with the country’s laws and regulations.”
