China: Diabetes – Monitoring of Blood Glucose Revolutionized! (10.2.2025)

10/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Diabetes is a serious public health problem, affecting more than 500 million people around the world. The prevalence of diabetes among adults in China is as high as 12 percent, according to national data from last year.

Effective and regular blood glucose monitoring is the foundation of diabetes management, and the commonly used blood glucose monitoring methods require invasive actions involving the skin, which may cause problems, such as pain and infection, and pose challenges for patients’ compliance with long-term monitoring.

Non-invasive blood glucose detection technology has been at the frontier of research in recent decades, but it has faced challenges in accuracy and versatility.

Chinese New Year - 2926-4723! - Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake!

Chinese New Year [2025-4723] Year of the [Yin] Wood Green Snake! (15.1.2025)

Wearing red is not limited to red clothes, red socks, and red belts, but can also be red jewellery, red mobile phone cases, as long as the items you carry with you are red.

There are two special days when wearing red is appropriate:

i) The first day of the first lunar month, during the Spring Festival, wearing red can add to the festive mood.

ii) The second is the beginning of Spring. As the beginning of the year, the beginning of Spring means the start of a new cycle.

Within China, there is a custom of “Avoiding Spring” (避春 – Bi Chun) at the beginning of Spring, that is, avoiding offending the numerous “Tai Sui” (太岁 – “Grand Aged”) gods that equate to the 12 stars opposite Jupiter (later expanded to 60 deities) – so people choose to wear red on this day in the hope of bringing good luck.

Everyone shapes their own destiny. Hard work, kindness and wise choices will help you succeed.

No matter what – I hope everyone will experience a smooth journey throughout the Year of the Snake (2025-4723) and welcome the arrival of boundless happiness and good luck!

China: Chang’e 6 Samples Shed Light on Lunar Magnetism! (23.12.2024)

They discovered that the Moon’s magnetic field may have experienced a rebound around 2.8 billion years ago, suggesting that the Moon’s generator may have been reinforced after an early sharp decline.

“The reason for this rebound could be a change in the primary energy source of the generator or a restrengthening of the initial driving mechanism,” Cai said.

“The data fill in a billion-year gap in the evolution of the lunar paleomagnetic record and provide the first paleomagnetic measurements from the lunar far side,” a reviewer for the journal Nature said. “The authors are to be congratulated on a historic study that provides a major advance in our understanding of lunar magnetism.”

The evolution history of the Moon’s magnetic field is markedly different from that of the Earth’s, the research team said.

China: Scientists Uncover Mysteries of Early Life Evolution on Earth! (20.12.2024)

20/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The research has revealed that life’s evolution from simple to complex in about 1.5 billion years is not a linear process but a pattern of alternating long-term stagnation and relatively rapid growth.

The results also highlighted the profound effects of sudden environmental shifts, such as temperature and oxygen level, on early complex life, offering crucial implications for studying alien life in harsh conditions and evaluating the future habitability of Earth, said Tang Qing from Nanjing University, the first author and one of the corresponding authors of the paper.

A peer-reviewer praised the work as “a long overdue paper to examine the fossil record of the Proterozoic,” which will make for “a plethora of papers following [its] publication.”

China: Stay Away From Cults and Welcome a Better Life! (27.10.2024)

27/10/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The term “Cult” refers to illegal organizations that use various means to defraud believers of their property or harm their lives, destroy families, and endanger society. Unlike normal religious beliefs, cults often control believers through brainwashing, inciting violence and other means, causing irreparable damage to believers. The country’s crackdown on cults is getting stronger and stronger, but there are still some people who are affected by cults, which not only harms themselves, but also brings great harm to their relatives and society around them.

People Live Longer Under Socialism in China!

China: CPC to Raise Retirement Age Following Vast Socialist Increase in Mortality Rate! (15.9.2024)

The new policy also highlights employment support for youths and workers at older ages, and encourages local authorities to tighten prevention of age-related job discrimination while prompting employers to hire more senior candidates.

Under the new policy, employers who hire workers older than the statuary retirement age should give such new employees basic working benefits related to income, right to rest, safety and job-related injury insurance.

Li Zhong, vice-minister of human resources and social security, said that the new retirement policy will be implemented steadily and at a modest pace, and positions vacated by new retirees may not be that suitable for youths, so the changes will likely have a mild impact on youth employment.

Li said the nation will continue to prioritize youth employment to let it grow at a reasonable rate and with higher quality.
