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.

Genealogy: ‘DARIИGOLD’ – Provenance of a First-Name! (22.9.2023)

22/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I hope this lady lived a long and happy life free from pain – as out of her genetics I have come into being -and so have my children! Over the years I have broached the subject of her ‘first’ or ‘Christian’ name – ‘Daringold’ – with a number of academic experts who state that they have never encountered this name before and that it must be the consequence of a ‘copying’ mistake or ‘hearing’ error! This certainly happens as in the past (particularly the 17th century CE) the English languish was not yet ‘Standardised’ and illiteracy abounded! Scribes (or ‘Scriveners’) were highly skilled – but these educated individuals often spelt the same word in different ways – even when this word appeared on the same page (Shakespeare was famous for ding this in his original texts)!

DPRK: We Strongly Condemn Canada’s Groundless Criticizism of China’s Human Right Record! (14.5.2023)

14/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Canada’s absurd claim of “slave labour” reflects the sense of “guilt” that exists in the United States, Canada, and some Western countries!

From 1525 to 1866, about 12.5 million Africans were trafficked to the United States and forced to work as slaves, but in the United States, about 500,000 people are still living in modern slavery, and today the United States is universally referred to as the “centre” of forced labour in the world!

In Canada during the last century, many Black and indigenous people were forced into slave labour, with “slave auctions” being prevalent, with aboriginal child abuse being part of this systematic racism! This is a Eurocentric racism involving anti-Islamic, anti-African, and anti-Asian behaviours that were so prevalent that all sorts of religious and racial discrimination occurred. Such was the continuous reality for the non-White populations!

Karl Marx: Newspaper Article: ‘The North American Civil War’! (5.4.2023)

05/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Having assessed this difference over a number of days – I developed the dialectical understanding that whereas ‘The German Ideology’ was a free expression of the unhindered thought of Marx and Engels regarding their Scientific Socialist understanding (and an open attack upon the capitalist system) – his newspaper article (for which he was being ‘paid’) – had to conform to the general ideas that prevailed throughout the (Federalist) ‘Union’ of Northern States! Marx had to cleverly compromise by moulding his opinions into those acceptable to the thinking of those who were ‘paying’ him for his journalistic services! If he was writing for newspapers based in Charleston or Richmond (lying within the ‘Confederate’ Southern States) – then I think we would have seen Marx formulate a very different take on events (not only reflecting the views of his audience – but also a more specific statement of the dialectical reality of the time)! Whatever the case, The German Ideology was written by Marx and Engels in 1845 – some sixteen years BEFORE Marx penned his 1861 article – and yet it contains a much deeper and far more thorough understanding of the human condition and the concept and reality of ‘slavery’! This example demonstrates why the working-class must be literate – we must be able to read and write – and in so doing ‘educate’ our own way out of the quagmire of Bourgeois branwashing, disinformation and deliberate misrepresentation!
