China: Brain-Computer-Interface Gives Hope to Paralyzed People! (12.12.2025)

“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.

While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.

In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.

“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.

Patients’ hopes lifted

The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.

Expressing his pleasure of greeting the day when the one of the cherished desires is to be realized in the long run, he said with pride that the foundations of country’s public health will experience fundamental change if modern hospitals rise up in over 200 cities and counties across the country in the future and Pyongyang General Hospital will be splendidly recorded in the history of the new era of the country’s construction as a monumental entity symbolic of the first year of the healthcare revolution led by our Party and the first substantial starting point of the public health rejuvenation.

Chinese Science - Space Hospital Could Look Like This!

China: Futuristic Space Hospital Being Designed! (7.8.2025)

The Shenzhen University of Advanced Technology and the Shanghai Engineering Centre for Microsatellites recently signed a cooperation agreement to jointly establish a space hospital in the future. This project aims to enhance astronauts’ health and expand in-orbit medical monitoring and life support capabilities.

The future space hospital will make breakthroughs in fields such as aerospace, medicine and biology, and conduct cutting-edge research in space life and health support. It will also prepare research on non-astronauts space travel, interstellar exploration and other space health support needs, the China Science Daily reported Wednesday.

Socialist Medicine in China!

China: First Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Neural Interface Surgery Helps 61-Year Old Paraplegic Patient Walk! (22.5.2025)

The British NHS is now system that manages illnesses rather than cures them, blames the sick and the injured for the maladies they suffer, and slowly accommodates death rather than prevents it. GPs (doctors) see all their patients as scroungers who are a drain on their profit-making. We literally have to audition for our health. If we get the balance of humour and concern just right – we might be thrown a banana. Of course, we are told, “private” healthcare is the answer to all our problems. If you know private healthcare you will understand this is not true in anyway. When China gave its poorest citizens an inoculation for lung cancer – Trump (first time around) declared this “an example of the evil of Socialism!” The story below is of a 61-year old man who injured his back. There is no way the British NHS would finance this type of treatment. And herein lies the difference between UK capitalism and Chinese Socialism!

Haytor Neidan Self-Cultivation!

Ch’an Dao Blog Article – Neidan As We Get Older! (18.4.2025)

I suspect the ancient Greeks encountered Buddhist monasticism when visiting India (such as Pythagoras), learned the Buddhist method of “looking within”, and then adjusted the technique as a means to “prove” the efficacy of their particular philosophical perspectives (the work of Plotinus may be taken as an example of this endeavour). Later, via the Greeks, a community of Jews (in Qumran) started sitting in meditation to personally attain a “glimpse of Yahweh” – a practice that eventually spread to the reformed Jewish sect of “Christianity” – whose adherents started to meditate whilst sat in the caves found in the Egyptian Desert (this type of Christianity spread to Britain – hundreds of years prior to Catholicism – becoming “Celtic Christianity”).

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics "Wearily Familiar" - Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics “Wearily Familiar” – Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

Larger families with three or more children have consistently faced a higher rate of poverty, it says: 45 per cent of children in large families were in poverty in 2022/23. Disabled people, carers, renters, people claiming benefits, and people in workless households were also at a disproportionately higher risk of poverty.

More recent figures were equally bleak, owing to the continued affects of the cost-of-living crisis. In October 2024, about 2.6 million of the poorest fifth of households (44 per cent) were in arrears with their household bills or behind on scheduled lending repayments; 4.1 million households (69 per cent) were going without essentials; and 3.2 million households (54 per cent) cut back on food or went hungry.
