Happy International Workers’ Day! (1.5.2023)

‘In approaching a problem a Marxist should see the whole as well as the parts. A frog in a well says, “The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.” That is untrue, for the sky is not just the size of the mouth of the well. If it said, “A part of the sky is the size of the mouth of a well”, that would be true, for it tallies with the facts!’

Cuba: Celebrating May Day – and the “Bay of Pigs” Victory for Socialism! (1.5.2023)

Indeed, when the US-CIA invasion began, the ordinary Cuban people massed together and without waiting for orders from above, they themselves began to create columns of Volunteers, which immediately went into the battle zone to stop the enemy, armed with whatever they already had or could find! Many went into battle “unarmed”! More than a thousand captured US-CIA mercenaries were exchanged by Cuba for medicines and agricultural equipment – forcing the United States to temporarily violate the conditions of the criminal economic blockade of the island – which has been going on now – due to the inherent corruption of President Kennedy – for 63 years!

China Focus: Mars Rover Zhurong Finds Evidence of Water at Red Planet’s Low Latitudes! (1.5.2023)

In the study, researchers estimated the dunes Zhurong found were formed about 400,000 to 1.4 million years ago. The exchange of water vapor between the higher and lower latitudes during this period led to repeated humid environments at low Martian latitudes, followed by the frequent occurrence of salty water when temperatures dropped in the region.

Qin said the discovery provides key proof of liquid water at Martian low latitudes, where surface temperatures are relatively warm and more suitable for life than high latitudes.

It also provides information for the design of future exploration strategies for Mars rovers. As saline water once existed at various latitudes on the surface of Mars, priority should be given to salt-tolerant microbes in future missions searching for extant life on Mars, researchers said in the study.

Japan Needs Correct Understanding of China: Chinese Ambassador! (30.4.2023)

Regarding the discharge plan of Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea, Wu said that the disposal of nuclear-contaminated water has a direct bearing on the global marine environment and human health and safety, and no one can make a conclusion as to how long the impact will last and how much harm it will bring.

China’s position on the issue is clear, that is, it firmly opposes Japan’s discharge plan of nuclear-contaminated water, he said, noting that the Japanese side should take the strong opposition at home and abroad seriously, honestly fulfill its international obligations and deal with the nuclear-contaminated water in the safest and most prudent way.

When asked about the Group of Seven (G7)’s recent accusations against China, Wu said the G7 has become a political tool of some countries to wantonly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and suppress the development and progress of other countries.

The G7 does not represent the international community and their consensus is not a global consensus, the ambassador stressed.

Xinhua Commentary: Seoul’s Blind Pro-U.S. Diplomacy Escalates Regional Tensions-Xinhua! (30.4.2023)

However, to the disappointment of South Korean entrepreneurs, Yoon seemed to have made little progress in persuading the United States to reduce the negative impact of the two acts on South Korean companies.

“With regard to the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act that were the core agenda (in the Yoon-Biden meeting), (Yoon) has not protected our industry and companies at all,” Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party, said at a party meeting on Friday.

Seoul’s blind pro-U.S. diplomacy even at the cost of its own national interests has fueled concerns among South Koreans.

“The worry is that (South Korea) is rushing into a situation where (the country) has to depend on the United States for everything,” Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper said in an editorial on Thursday.

The editorial warned that South Korea was losing its diplomatic and security autonomy as it would be more difficult for Seoul to reject any demand from Washington.

“American Pie” only belongs to America; for others, it is nothing but pie in the sky.
