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.

Tibet Freed Itself!

Tibet: Xizang Commemorates 65th Anniversary of Democratic Reform that Ended Feudal Serfdom! (29.3.2024)

In Galai Village in Nyingchi City, local villagers put on their ethnic costumes and celebrated the anniversary with a grand, joyful dance. Known for its careful preservation of the local ecological system and robust rural eco-tourism, Galai received more than 110,000 tourists in 2023, with the total tourism income topping 3.41 million yuan (about 480,000 U.S. dollars), providing a significant boost to the local economy.

“Having a roof over our heads was once the dream of our forefathers who had been serfs. For our generation, worries about food, clothing and shelter are a thing of the past as the living conditions in Xizang have continuously improved,” said Tseyang, who hails from Galai. “We are just so lucky to live in this era.”

US Mistakes Mechanical Cranes for Real Cranes!

US: The Way of the White Crane! (24.2.2024)

When it comes to matters of so-called national security, Washington’s fixation on implicating China knows no bounds. From baseless accusations of espionage to scrutinizing individuals based on nationality, the pattern of suspicion and scapegoating has been casting a long shadow over bilateral cooperation.

Such an absurd accusation involving the Chinese-made cranes is by no means an isolated case. Just three weeks ago, a U.S. senator Tom Cotton grilled the CEO of TikTok Shou Zi Chew about his nationality, suggesting he has links with China, when he is in fact a Singaporean.

Even more absurd, a Florida senator Rick Scott claimed two months ago that garlic imported from China poses a threat to U.S. national security. He jumped to the conclusion based on the accusation that Chinese garlic is grown using human faeces and sewage as fertilizers.

USSR: Academic Paper (1974) – “Earth – a Giant Crystal?”! (11.6.2023)

Looking through the colour photographs taken by the Gemini probes, we could discerned the three nodes of the system: Morocco (20), California (17) and Florida (18). Here, exactly in the calculated places, circular geological structures with a diameter of 200-350 km are clearly distinguished.

It could be that the Earth’s crystalline structure strongly influences the biosphere of the planet and the formation of geochemical and biogeochemical provinces.

In the centres of the European and Asian faces of the icosahedron (2 and 4) there are two vast biogeochemical provinces in which soils lack some elements and too many others. Therefore, natural selection among plants and animals is aggravated there.
