“These seriously violate the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. Joint Communiqués, interfere in China’s internal affairs, and undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” according to China’s Foreign Ministry.

Their movable and immovable properties and other kinds of assets within China shall be frozen.

All organizations and individuals within China shall be prohibited from engaging in transaction, cooperation and other activities with them.

This decision took effect immediately upon its announcement on Dec. 27, 2024.

He added: “I went to Pyongyang in November 2018 and worshipped there. The North Korean government is very friendly to the Russian Orthodox Church. Our diplomats go to the cathedral, and the staff of the Bulgarian and Romanian embassies go to the church to pray. We have no trouble in North Korea, not even in carrying out activities.” The metropolitan stressed that all religious people in North Korea have all rights and opportunities, and they are happy to receive visits from the Russian Orthodox Church. He also said: “They welcomed us very much, we worshipped there, and they recognized me as a bishop.”

The main roads discovered in this area are spaced 320 to 550 meters apart, while some intermediate-level roads are located about 100 meters apart. These roads are interconnected, showing clear evidence of intentional human planning, according to Niu.

Based on previous findings of archaeological excavations, it has been confirmed that the roads in the Shang capital city can be generally classified into three levels according to their width, or referred to as main roads, streets and alleys, Niu said.

Situated in Henan’s Anyang City, the 3,300-year-old Yin Ruins is the first documented late Shang Dynasty capital site in China, as confirmed by archaeological excavations and oracle bone inscriptions.

The measures for provisional education of children and students from the flood-hit areas in the environment of rehabilitation campaign were another important step of loving care to be taken by only Kim Jong Un who regards the issue of caring and educating the children and students as the primary state affair which could never be given up even if the sky may fall in.

Students with disabilities were also treated at central hospitals in Pyongyang and went to school in a bright and cheerful manner.

The primary schoolchildren from the flood-hit areas competed with those in the capital city, and several students of senior middle school class took part in the examination for entrance to Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology and over 70 percent of students grew to be A ones.

Boundless was the warm love of the father with the dreamy days and months passing.

Everest: How PRC Climber – “Xu Jingzeng” [许竞曾] – Located the Body of – Andrew Irvine – in 1960! (24.12.2024)

24/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

There is still a chance. The camera they carried with them at the time was not found. Perhaps Irvine’s body will be found one day, which may solve this century-old mystery.

I saw an article on the Internet reporting that Chinese mountaineer Xu Jingzeng once said that he had seen Irvine’s body at 8,300 meters on Mount Everest in 1960. Yesterday, a netizen commented in my previous article that the documentary about the Chinese climbing Mount Everest in 1960 mentioned that they found the bodies of foreign climbers during the climb.

In 1960, the Chinese completed the first ascent of Mount Everest from the north slope. Before that, there were only a few climbing records, including Mallory in 1921 and 1924. It is indeed possible that they found Irvine’s remains, but no one paid attention to these things at the time, and they were lost in history again.
