China Debuts Full Solar-Powered Drone! (5.8.2022)

Near space is that part of Earth’s atmosphere at altitudes of 20 to 100 kilometers, encompassing portions of the stratosphere, mesosphere and lower thermosphere. It is above the top altitudes of commercial airliners but below orbiting satellites.

The drone is able to fly at altitudes of up to over 20 km and can stay airborne overnight. The solar panels are placed on the wings that have a combined length of 50 meters, said Zhu Shengli, head designer of Qimingxing 50.

(W. E. Talk) Why China is Poles Apart from Western Countries in Protecting Human Rights of Ethnic Minorities? (5.8.2022)

Shen Guiping: Across the world, regional autonomy has been implemented in many countries based on ethnic factors, such as Oran autonomous province in Finland, five autonomous regions in Italy, more than a dozen autonomous regions in Spain, and so on. Due to autonomy, the national government lacks strong political, economic, and social integration in these regions, resulting in a low degree of integration between these regions and the external economy, society, and culture. This may lead to the disconnection between the economic and social linkage development of autonomous regions and other regions of the country, which breeds a tendency of separation in these regions. Some rich autonomous regions like Catalonia in Spain want to get rid of the “burden” of other poorer regions. Some traditional settlements “abandoned” by the modern society seek to be separated from the other areas, such as 300 Indian reservations in the remote areas in the United States. This is a frequent drawback derived from the so-called high degree of autonomy in the West.

Hard-Working Xinjiang Farmer Laments US ‘Human Rights’ Racism! (4.3.2022)

Xinjiang is the largest production area for these tomatoes in China, with over 80 percent of its output exported every year. Currently, over 300,000 Xinjiang farmers like Bai work to provide high-quality processing tomatoes as raw materials for ketchup for the global market.

When touching on the United States’ so-called “Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act,” which just took effect and absurdly presumes that all goods from Xinjiang are produced through “forced labour,” Bai became serious.

The 54-year-old farmer, who started planting tomatoes 26 years ago and has had his fair share of rollercoaster experiences with the small round fruit, shook his head with incomprehension and indignation — How could an honest and hardworking farmer like him be labelled a human rights abuser?

Chinese Cosmonauts Make Successful 7-Hour Space-Walk! (2.9.2022)

Chen and Liu were tasked with using a robotic arm to install new instruments outside Tiangong – adjusting the panoramic camera (and other operations). The two Chinese Cosmonauts were scheduled to stay outside for around seven hours – according to the Agency.

It was the first time Chinese Cosmonauts have used the Wentian Space Lab’s ‘Airlock Cabin’ to make preparations for a successful spacewalk!

Crew members of previous flights used the ‘Airlock Cabin’ on the Tianhe Core Module to support spacewalks.

With this ‘new’ Airlock Cabin – the Tianhe module has become the backup support facility for future spacewalks.
