The CPC Building a Better Life for Disabled People!

China: Five-Year Plan Unveiled to Improve Services & Quality of Life for People with Disabilities! (3.7.2026)

According to the plan, China will further improve rehabilitation and care services for people with disabilities during the period. The coverage rate of basic rehabilitation services, which exceeded 85 percent during the past five years, will be raised by five percentage points.

The country will work to maintain that 95 percent of people with disabilities enjoy medical insurance and at least 97 percent of school-age disabled children receive compulsory education.

Statistics and data governance related to persons with disabilities will be a major priority in the coming five years. China plans to launch its third national sample survey on people with disabilities during the 2026-2030 period, updating national data for the first time since 2006.

The plan also calls for broader accessibility upgrades in public facilities, including hospitals, schools, banks, libraries, museums, theaters, sports venues and tourist attractions. Self-service terminals in sectors such as finance, healthcare and postal services will also enjoy barrier-free upgrades.

China will further promote the use of emerging technologies to support people with disabilities, including research in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and robotics, according to the plan.

The plan also encourages wider application of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things in disability assistance services.

Trump II Encourages This Type of Racism!

US: How YouTube Acts the New “Slave Market” of America! (10.4.2026)

The way it works in the US is that the police are tasked with raising local government revenue. Much of this is through traffic violation. The police stop black people often on spurious and flimsy grounds knowing that they will resist. The resisting then becomes the reason for the detention and arrest. Notice that the original reason for the stop is then quietly dropped and forgotten about – as it would not stand up in court. Even if it did – the petty nature of it would only result in a modest fine. Resisting arrest, fighting with officers, and threats – attract not only hefty fines – but quite often prison sentences and criminal records. Complying would seem the logical choice as it involves the least overall risk – but we do not live in an ideal world. For a White American – this can be a pleasant encounter between community equals – but for non-Whites it is often the beginning of a nightmare and even result in the death of the civilian. Qualified immunity often means the offending officers receive little or no punishment.

US: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.

The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.

While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.

The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.

UK: Palestine Action Prisoners Plan Hunger Strike! (30.10.2025)

This is why the UK-jailed Palestine solidarity activists are warning of hunger strikes as reported by Saeed Pourreza in London. The idea is to shame the UK Labour government into breaking its financial and military support for Israel and unbanning Palestine Action! Of course, the mainstream UK government is ignoring this protest and we have to rely on foreign news broadcasters to find what is going on just down the streets we live in!

US: Trump Suggests Expelling Spain from NATO! (10.10.2025)

“They have no excuse not to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with visiting Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “Maybe you should throw them out of NATO frankly.”

“You people are gonna have to start speaking to Spain,” Trump said. “You have to call them and find why are they a laggard.”

Under pressure from Trump, NATO members in June agreed to raise their military spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2035.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez rejected the target, calling it “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision.”
