In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, together with our Venezuelan friends from Valencia, we pay tribute to the heroes who fought for the freedom of the world against the threat of fascism. We are glad that, thanks to the friendship between Volgograd and Valencia, this significant plaque has been installed, allowing the inhabitants of the city to pay tribute to the heroism of the defenders of freedom.

Known as the “father of China’s nuclear submarines,” Huang had dedicated his whole life to the development and advancement of China’s nuclear submarine programme.
The sheer weight of White exploitation cannot be ignored in any of its guises (slave masters or cult leaders). Similarly, the habit of the White Establishment playing-down the weight of the power it possesses is yet another problem. When at school in 1970s UK, we were taught (even then) about the so-called “Golden Triangle”. We were told that British workmen constructed huge trading ships that sailed the world. Furthermore, British sailors manned these ships and brought great riches to our island nation. More than this, these same ships “visited” Africa and “acquired” slaves which were secured in the hold by chains made in Sheffield (the Sheffield factories employed tens of thousands).
This reactionary, dark step is nothing but part of an imperialist plan aimed at dismantling the Syrian National Movement and aborting any attempt to establish a Democratic National Regime that serves the interests of the people and their working class. By restricting the Progressive Forces, this regime seeks to pave the way for colonial plunder of Syria’s resources and tighten its control over it in the interest of the imperialist powers and their agents in the region.
The Palestinian Communist Party condemns in the strongest terms this unjust and irresponsible decision, and affirms that Marxist-Leninist thought will remain rooted in Syria, and no force will be able to obliterate or eliminate it. The Palestinian Communist Party calls on our Syrian Communist comrades, and all patriots who believe in Syria’s unity and sovereignty, to unite and stand together to confront this fierce attack targeting Syrian Communists, the Syrian people, and their rich, pluralistic culture.
Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said China should resort to effective countermeasures against any tariff threats by the White House, while optimizing domestic policies and anchoring market expectations.
“Based on the experiences gained during the first Trump administration, China can utilize measures such as imposing additional tariffs and export controls to counter trade threats from the U.S.,” Luo said.
He added that China should continue to broaden the list of sanctioned goods and entities, and increase Beijing’s negotiation leverage with Washington.
Given heightened global uncertainties, China should scale up the intensity of its fiscal and monetary policies, actively expand domestic demand to counter any potential downturns in external demand, and steadily push forward high-level opening-up, expand networks with trade partners and diversify its trade portfolios, Luo said.
Laos is a Socialist (Marxist-Leninist) State. Religious freedom is guaranteed as a private matter (through the separation of Temple and State) whilst Theravada Buddhism is the tradition religion of the people. Therefore, Laos may be considered a Buddhist-Socialist State – as the Buddhist Masters advocate Socialism and Dhamma in equal measure. In English, this old temple should be literally known as the “New Temple” – due to its relatively recent repair (just over 200-years) – by Royal Command. As to the Pali name – it translates as “Golden Ground of Ram” – “Ram” is an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Throughout Southeast Asia and beyond, ancient Brahmanism spread far and wide from India – before the rise and spread of Buddhism. By the time Buddhism arrived in the region – Brahmanism was already in-place – with the Buddha being associated with Vishnu (even in modern India – many contemporary Hindus count the Buddha as an incarnation of Vishnu [Ram] sent to earth to encourage vegetarianism).
