Gaza: Palestinian Hostages Israel Doesn’t Want You to Talk About! (21.2.2025)

a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit. The person is detained without legal proceedings, by order of the regional military commander, based on classified evidence that is not revealed to them. This leaves the detainees helpless – facing unknown allegations with no way to disprove them, not knowing when they will be released, and without being charged, tried or convicted.

Russia: “On Wings” [На крыльях] – Disability Rights & Inclusion in the Fashion Industry! (20.2.2025)

20/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Whilst Neo-Nazi Ukraine purges its disabled population through its Western-funded war in Donbass – (anti-fascist) Russia continues to develop moral principles of “inclusion” that were operating in the USSR. Of course, people can be born disabled, develop a disability (through illness or injury) during their lifetime, which includes wounds suffered during wartime (particularly during the recent anti-fascist war in East Ukraine). My British grandfathers (and my Chinese relatives in Hong Kong) all fought during WWII against Nazism and fascism as allies of the Soviet Union – and I will never accept or tolerate fascism of any kind – which includes Russophobia. Events such as the above should shame the West!

China: Scientists Uncover Complex Blueprint of Human Brain Cortex! (20.2.2025)

The study addresses a fundamental question: How do these intricate connections form, and why do distinct brain regions exhibit such orderly distribution across the cortex?

“The brain begins following a genetic ‘blueprint’ during embryonic development,” Fan noted.

Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly correlated due to the vast numerical disparity between genes and neural connections. Instead, genes likely guide the spatial organization of white matter fiber tracts through efficient organizational principles, forming specific embedded patterns in the cortex, said Li Deying, the paper’s lead author and a doctoral student at the institute.

France: Citizen Donates Photograph-Album Documenting Imperial Japan’s War Crime Atrocities in China! (19.2.2025)

A sharp contrast to scenes of tranquil lakes and bustling food stalls on the streetside, the photograph shows a civilian, whose head has been completely blown off, lying on the ground.

The chance discovery made in the garage of his family home in 2021 put the 26-year-old on a truth-seeking journey that offered further evidence of the wartime atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers during China’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), as well as the resilience of local residents — which is all documented in a collection of 622 photographs.

Detrez, accompanied by two friends, arrived in Beijing on Saturday to donate the photos to China. They also plan to visit Shanghai to see venues shown in the pictures.

DPRK: Socialist State Stands-Up to Trump Fascism! (18.2.2025)

18/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Explicitly speaking once again, to the DPRK nukes represent peace and sovereignty and a means for legitimate self-defence entrusted by its Constitution as long as there exists the hostile threat from the U.S. and its vassal forces.

If the U.S. continues to resort to the ineffective means of pressure against the DPRK, failing to face up to the reality, the DPRK will continue to take a new opportunity for the upward coordination of its strategic force and hold further favorable position in the DPRK-U.S. conflicting structure.

The DPRK will as ever consistently adhere to the new line of bolstering up the nuclear force clarified by the head of state and thoroughly control the threat and blackmail of the U.S. and its vassal forces violating the former’s sovereignty and security interests, by making use of all its own political and military tools, and perfectly attain its strategic goal.

China: Enhanced Co-Operation with Eire Announced! (18.2,2025)

During his visit, Wang also met with Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon Harris.

A unilateral visa-free policy to Ireland to facilitate personnel exchanges between the two countries was announced during Li’s visit last year. And 2024 saw the relaunch of a year-round direct Dublin-Beijing air route, which operates twice weekly.

According to statistics from Ireland’s government, China is Ireland’s largest trading partner in the Asia-Pacific region, with total bilateral trade of 36 billion euros ($37.7 billion) in 2023. Irish goods exports to China have increased by 529 percent in the decade since 2013.

Ireland also enjoys a trade surplus with China, with its exports to China being driven by medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, computer services, agri-food, and financial services.
