Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push!

China: Nation to Advance Fertility-Friendly Push! (15.9.2026)

With more than 10 million students enrolling in colleges and universities each year amid a boom in the higher education sector, China is building an expanding and highly skilled workforce, Lei said.

Official data shows that, by the end of 2025, China had about 851.36 million people ages 16 to 59, and that group had an average of 11.3 years of schooling, up 0.1 year from a year earlier.

Lei added that the annual number of newborns has remained at about 8 million despite an overall downward trend.

“Compared with other developed and developing countries, very few have births at this level, so China will still have a relatively ample labour force in the future,” he said.

Lei noted that China will continue to roll out fertility-friendly measures to ease the burden of childbirth, child-rearing and education.

Among the latest fertility support policies are the rollout of a fertility subsidy, which has so far benefited more than 30 million families, and the establishment of nearly 12,600 early pregnancy care clinics nationwide, providing counselling and assessments.

The Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim in the occupied West Bank, this week

UK: Bishops Support Labour and it Sanctions on Israel for its Criminal Activity! (10.9.2026)

He announced in the House of Commons an import ban on goods from illegal settlements in the occupied territories; a sanctions regime against providing services such as construction or financing for Israeli settlements; a ban on the advertising in the UK of illegal settlement pro­­perties; personal sanctions against key individuals accused of pro­­moting settler violence; and a new ban for arms licences and other ex­­ports that “materially contribute to the occupation”.

The Israeli government responded angrily and imposed measures including the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem and banning a group of Labour MPs from visiting Israel.

The Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, described the move as “truly a dark day for British Jews”. In response, Mr Miliband said in an in­­terview on Wednesday: “Well, I’m a proud British Jew, and I don’t agree with the Chief Rabbi.”

Sinister Black Bloc - UK

UK: A Migrant is a “Displaced Worker”! (9.9.2026)

Of course, the Royal Navy could deter Channel crossings by its presence and the RNLI does not need to risk the lives of its crews. Assisting criminals does not happen in any other area of society. Sanctions should be imposed on France if it continues to facilitate mass migration to the UK. These are just ideas on the ground – but all it would take is a change of policy at national level. The masked men you see in the video above are known as “Black Bloc” in the UK. I think this is Dover. Notice they are wearing black and there are no national flags. This is because these individuals are “anarchists” who have taken the side of the far-right in the migrant issue. They seek to intimate and attack migrants (and anyone who helps them) as they land.

UK: Guardian Newspaper Caught “Lying” About Tibet! (4.9.2026)

These connections have also drawn attention to the group’s relationship with the NED, which provides funding to organizations and political initiatives in countries around the world to meddle in internal affairs of other countries.

In 2011, the NED awarded the organization two separate grants totaling $70,000. A large share of its financing, however, comes from other so-called “private” and even “charitable” foundations, making the ultimate sources of financial support less transparent, particularly when donor identities not publicly disclosed.

Vittachi argued that the organization’s personnel links with the U.S. government and its financial connections with the NED raises questions about whether its activities are driven solely by advocacy for Tibetans or are also aligned with broader U.S. political and geopolitical objectives concerning China.

UK: “Vodafone” & “Deliveroo” Back Reform UK as Yusuf Threatens Prison! (3.9.2026)

Taking a page out of Trump II’s play-book – acting like an absolute monarch is the way ahead. Democracy is short-circuited by the deployment of “rage” and “revenge” as an expression of an empowered “will” in high office. Procedures, checks and balances mean “nothing” – when an individual is politically empowered to arbitrarily express their will so that power is immediately deployed (oppressively) downward and is felt from above. Apparently, Vodafone and Deliveroo are “running scared” due to the threat of their bosses being arrested, charged, and imprisoned for daring to offer cheap or free help (including jobs) to vulnerable members of society (which may – or may not – involve migrants [illegal or otherwise]). What this is really about is the management of bourgeois narratives. The chain of evidence is US, EU, and UK. The US demands that the UK’s economy becomes a mirror of the US – with no unions, no meaningful jobs, no jobs for life, no proper wages, and no Welfare State, no housing, or medical care for the workers. This requires the continuous importing of an impoverished (cheap) labour force and the encouragement of ethnic strife between the competing ethnic groups – so as to prevent the underlying unity (amongst ethnic groups) that permits the building of Socialism. As the bourgeoisie will not stand-up to the US and EU – the result is the dramatic rise of the far-right.

UK: Email – Defining the Latin-Term “Amanuensis”! (24.8.2026)

Thank you for your very interesting email. Years ago, when I was involved with formal academia (frequenting colleges and universities) the function of “amanuensis” was fairly common. I am not sure if this is the case today – as I am engaged in a broad post-doctorate study that involves researching in (and from) various sources of data. Generally, this is termed “field work”, etc, and can involve much travelling – but with the advent of the internet means that “without going out of my room – I can know all things” – to quote the Book of Change. I often find that examining the Chinese-language equivalent of Western words can give an important insght into the historical meaning of these terms.
