According to reports, on Sept. 29, 2014, a 2.6-metric-ton conglomerate rock from Mount Rigi was installed at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. In return, on July 31, 2015, an 8-metric-ton basalt rock from Mount Emei was set up at Rigi’s summit, Rigi Kulm.

According to the Leshan municipal government website, Emei and Rigi officially became sister mountains in 2009. The two sides agreed to exchange rocks to be placed at both summits as symbols of friendship.

The Mount Emei stone is a basalt rock formed around 260 million years ago. It is 2.6 meters tall, 1.5 metres wide, 1.5 metres thick at its deepest point, and weighs about 8.05 metric tons. (Gong Weiwei)

The decision was made in accordance with the Constitution, aiming to safeguard the outcomes of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order, to demonstrate the firm will to uphold the one-China principle and defend national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and to strengthen the shared national memory of compatriots on both sides, it said.

When explaining the draft decision to the NPC Standing Committee, Shen Chunyao, director of the NPC Standing Committee’s Legislative Affairs Commission, noted that on Oct. 25, 1945, the ceremony to accept Japan’s surrender in the Taiwan Province of the China war theatre of the Allied powers was held in Taipei. From that point on, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands returned to China’s sovereign jurisdiction.

China: World’s First Solar Magnetic-Field Telescope Operating in the Mid-Infrared Wavelength Range! (23.10.2025)

The world’s first solar magnetic-field telescope operating in the mid-infrared wavelength range has officially become operational after gaining government approval, marking a major breakthrough in solar magnetic field research.

The telescope, known as the Accurate Infrared Magnetic Field Measurements of the Sun, or AIMS, is located in Lenghu township, Qinghai province, at an average altitude of about 4,000 meters. AIMS’ development addresses a long-standing bottleneck in the century-old history of solar magnetic field measurements by achieving a leap from indirect to direct measurement, scientists said.

“The sun, being the only star we can observe with high precision, has a magnetic field that acts as the energy switch driving intense solar activities such as flares and coronal mass ejections. Yet, more than half the sun’s overall magnetic field manifestations are relatively weak, with strengths of only a few dozen gauss,” said Deng Yuanyong, a researcher at the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who led the telescope’s construction.

In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

The Hague: ICJ Rules “Israel Obliged to Allow Gaza Aid Passage” & Other News! (23.10.2025)

UN Population Fund Deputy Executive Director Andrew Saberton, who just returned from Gaza, told reporters that the agency was able to bring in some assistance last week through the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem crossing.

“We have been distributing medical supplies and equipment, including incubators, delivery beds and fetal monitoring machines, that were prepositioned inside Gaza, to hospitals,” he said. “But the trickle of aid being allowed to enter Gaza after the ceasefire is nowhere near enough.”

Inside Gaza on Tuesday, out of 10 humanitarian missions coordinated with the Israeli authorities, six were facilitated, including the collection of water tanks, hygiene kits and fuel from the crossings into Gaza, OCHA said.

UK: Boxing the Ears of So-Called “Auditors”! (22.10.2025)

22/10/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The great lie is that through their actions – auditors are doing something “special” and “important” for society – when in fact they are spreading disinformation, terror, and fascistic horror. The best way to deal with auditors is to remain silent and walk away. What the government needs to do is pass legislation that criminalises “malicious” filming designed to generate monetary profit under the false guise of supporting “civil rights”. This latter attempt at a justification is particularly fanciful as many auditors are directly linked to far-right groups and routinely make homophobic, trans-phobic, misogynistic, racist, ablest, and discriminative comments when their bad behaviour in public is challenged – as a means to “please” and “satisfy” their regular viewers. The UK is not the US – and auditors are not supporters of “civil rights” – far from it – these individuals are self-serving tyrants who accuse those who protect us on a daily basis of being the very thing their fascist ideology allows them to be.
