Roundup: “Historic” Decline in US Life Expectancy Reveals System Problems, Inequality! (9.8.2022)

The COVID-19 is not solely to blame. Longstanding health problems — rooted in poverty, discrimination and poor access to health care — left Native Americans and Alaska Natives particularly vulnerable to the virus, said Ann Bullock, former director of diabetes treatment and prevention at the federal agency of Indian Health Service.

The non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native population experienced the greatest decline of life expectancy by 1.9 years between 2020 and 2021, according to NCHS report.

The cumulative decline since the pandemic started, more than 6.5 years on average, has brought life expectancy to 65 among Native Americans and Alaska Natives — on par with the figure for all Americans in 1944.

One in seven Native Americans and Alaska Natives has diabetes, the highest rate among racial or ethnic groups in the United States, and many struggle with obesity or excess weight. Both conditions make people more susceptible to severe COVID-19, and crowded multigenerational housing adds to the risk, said The New York Times.

China’s Approach to Cyberspace Governance! (31.8.2022)

Over the past decade, China has built the world’s largest network infrastructure with advanced technology, Xin Guobin, vice minister of industry and information technology, announced in June this year.

Besides, access bandwidth of the optical fiber network has increased from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps, mobile networks have made breakthroughs in 3G, 4G and 5G, and broadband access has been extended to all administrative villages across the country, contributing to poverty alleviation.

At the same time, China has been committed to sharing its digital dividends with the rest of the world. The country has continuously aided less developed nations in the forms of technology, equipment and services. In recent years, China’s digital trade with Belt and Road countries has maintained strong growth.

A ‘Socialist’ Internet – China to Lead the Way! (26.8.2022)

It is a sad fact that one of the first websites established on the US-controlled internet (during 1997) was dedicated to the political far-right and used the language of mainstream academia to convey the Neo-Nazi pseudo-science that advocates the falsehood of a racial hierarchy – placing the ‘White’ Europeans at the top – and the ‘Black’ Africans at the bottom! Considering how difficult it was in those days to establish even a single line of descriptive text or generate a basic picture online in those days – the suspicion is that the government of US President Clinton was behind this website!

UFC Star Zhang Weili Primed for Title Shot! (22.8.2022)

Whereas Old China withdrew from the world and was retiring from all interaction – modern China is now strong and confident and ready to confront Western racism and take its rightful place at the international level of friendly competition! Chinese Socialist expertise possesses the power to overcome any and all prejudice and discrimination at the world level – where a perfected technique will alway overcome the corruption inherent within capitalism and the ignorance that system prefers to embed in its minions! Not so with China’s excellent MMA fighter – Zhang Weili – who will soon be given the chance to regain the title taken from her in nefarious circumstances a few years ago! I

Three Scientists Win China’s 2022 Future Science Prize! (22.8.2022)

Between 1911-1949 – the corrupt ‘Nationalist’ government (which had experimented with fascism and rapid and sudden ‘Westernisation’ without a popular mandate) not only attacked and destroyed the famous pinnacle of ‘Chinese’ identity’ – the Shaolin Temple in Henan – but failed miserably to relieve poverty and achieve any significant change for the ordinary peasant population! Genuine Socialism (as defined by Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong) is driven only by scientific progress – because it is only through the rigours of science that ALL problems existing within (material) human society can be a) ‘understood’ and b) ‘solved’ by a science firmly controlled by the working-class and unshackled from the incessant search for profit exhibited by the predatory capitalist system! Surely, Vladimir Mayakovsky and his ‘Communist Futurism’ movement would be proud of Communist China and the new generation of scientists its universal education system has produced!

Sichuan: Ancient Egypt Educates and Informs! (18.8.2022)

China represents one of the earliest and continuous cultures to have existed on the earth! If ancient Egyptian culture had not declined through invasion and colonisation, China might well be sharing the world today with a dominant African culture! More than this, the two dominant cultures in the world would be ‘non-European’ – which is an important observation for all non-White people and those who are the historical victims of Eurocentric racism!
