UK: Bizarre “Anti-Dog” Green Propaganda Guardian Article – “Not April Fools” – Claims Author! (10.4.2025)

This had nothing to do with dinosaurs farting, or cavemen learning to light fires. The author – Donna Lu – is being slightly naughty here, as she seems to be expressing (or at least aligning her writing) common anti-pet viewpoints held by many Chinese people, equating this with the latest ridiculous excuse for “morally-led” climate change propaganda. Dogs pissing on a lamp-post, or cats burying their crap in the dirt my not be appetising – but I would suggest that there is NO genuine scientific evidence to suggest it does – as this would be agreeing with insanity. Of course, why on earth the Guardian would print an article that is insulting to British sensitivities is bewildering – but then again – the Guardian continuously publishes racially motivated (anti-China) articles all the time, pretending this White racism is “informed opinion”. It is also astonishing that the narrative this writer is presenting suggests the land-mass of Australia – which is so huge it is mostly empty – is experiencing dogs randomly attacking humans! I was going to say you couldn’t make it up – but obviously somebody has!

Science Starts with the People!

China: Country Set to Advance Sci-Tech Popularization! (5.11.2024)

The proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy increased from 1.98 percent in 2003 to 14.14 percent last year, according to results of a survey released in April by the China Association for Science and Technology.

For the first time, the gap in scientific literacy levels of citizens in the eastern, central and western regions has narrowed, while gender disparities have also been further reduced, the data showed.

Meanwhile, China’s rank in the global innovation index has climbed from 34 in 2012 to 11 this year, making it the only middle-income economy among the top 30, according to the Global Innovation Index 2024, which was published in September by the World Intellectual Property Organization.

PRC Lunar Space Suit - 2024

China Manned Space Agency [CMSA]: Lunar Spacesuit Revealed! (29.9.2024)

According to the CMSA, spacesuits are designed for exposure to the harsh conditions of space, including vacuum, microgravity, radiation, and extreme temperatures, allowing for greater lower body mobility of astronauts to walk, climb, and conduct scientific activities on the moon’s surface. 

Research and development of the spacesuit began in 2020, inspired by traditional Chinese culture.

The red decorative bands on the arms and legs were designed to resemble flowing “Feitian” ribbons — meaning flying deity in traditional Chinese culture. Its combination with the suit symbolizes traditional Chinese philosophy of harmonizing strength and softness. And the leg bands are shaped like the exhaust flames of a rocket, conveying the dynamic energy of space exploration.

US Dollars - Saudi 2024

The Real Reason the West is Switching to Electric Vehicles! (27.8.2024)

A minor consideration for the US involves Elon Musk (a rightwinger and Zionist) – who has used China’s huge workforce to cheaply assembly his own brand of EVs – whilst stimulating China’s internal market to build their own EVs – and sell them to the West. The US has responded to this by placing ridiculous tariffs (as much as 200%) on all Chinese EVs imported into the West (a draconian policy followed by the UK and EU, etc) – a markup which renders these cars virtually unsellable! I envisage a time when we will all be queuing-up with our EVs at petrol-pump type chargers – and be paying about the same for a fully charged battery – as we used to do for a full tank of petrol!
