China: Five-Year Plan Unveiled to Improve Services & Quality of Life for People with Disabilities! (3.7.2026)

According to the plan, China will further improve rehabilitation and care services for people with disabilities during the period. The coverage rate of basic rehabilitation services, which exceeded 85 percent during the past five years, will be raised by five percentage points.

The country will work to maintain that 95 percent of people with disabilities enjoy medical insurance and at least 97 percent of school-age disabled children receive compulsory education.

Statistics and data governance related to persons with disabilities will be a major priority in the coming five years. China plans to launch its third national sample survey on people with disabilities during the 2026-2030 period, updating national data for the first time since 2006.

The plan also calls for broader accessibility upgrades in public facilities, including hospitals, schools, banks, libraries, museums, theaters, sports venues and tourist attractions. Self-service terminals in sectors such as finance, healthcare and postal services will also enjoy barrier-free upgrades.

China will further promote the use of emerging technologies to support people with disabilities, including research in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and robotics, according to the plan.

The plan also encourages wider application of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things in disability assistance services.

Laos and Cuba have reaffirmed their long-standing partnership in sports and physical education by signing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand cooperation and strengthen sports development in the Lao PDR.

Laos: Sports Partnership Renewed with Cuba to Boost Athletic Development! (30.6.2026)

The renewed MoU builds on the enduring friendship between Laos and Cuba and continues bilateral cooperation in sports, physical education and arts education. It also establishes a framework for the exchange of knowledge, technical expertise and consultations in other mutually agreed areas, further enhancing cooperation and mutual understanding between the two governments.

Cuba has been a longstanding partner in supporting Laos’ human resource development. Over the years, it has awarded scholarships to Lao students to study sports and physical education, as well as Spanish, medicine and law. These educational opportunities have helped strengthen the country’s professional capacity across a range of sectors.

The education system is “not set up to serve white working-class children and families”, an independent inquiry has concluded. Picture: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images

UK: Education System ‘Not Set Up to Serve White Working-Class Children’! (29.6.2026)

The Independent Inquiry into White Working-Class Educational Outcomes also determined that once-in-a-generation reforms were needed to tackle why such children are the lowest-performing large demographic in England’s school system.

It was commissioned last summer by the multi-academy trust Star Academies, and is supported by the Department for Education.

Inquiry co-chairs Baroness Estelle Morris and Sir Hamid Patel said the issues identified in the report “cannot be explained away by low aspiration or lack of effort”, and cannot be “solved by schools alone”.

Thousands of young people and their parents, as well as hundreds of teachers, were interviewed for the inquiry.

The Education Secretary has welcomed a report into educational outcomes for white working-class boys, saying class remains “a huge driver of outcomes…right across society”.

Bridget Phillipson told Times Radio: “I welcome the report, because I think it shines a really important light on what has been an underdiscussed area for some time in the schools.”

She added: “Class is a huge driver of outcomes, never mind in our politics, but right across society.

“If by class we mean the family that you’re born into determining what you go on to achieve in life, that’s as strong a driver as anything.

“We know that children born into less well-off families are more likely to arrive at school further behind their more affluent peers. We know they don’t make progress across school in closing that gap, and we know they’re more likely at the end of school to go into being not in education, employment, or training.

“So, background, social background, family background, where you’re born, they are big determinants of what you achieve in your life.

UK: Free At Last – Free At Last! (22.6.2026)

This is why the EU demands that all welfare systems are dismantled, all social housing stocks are sold into private hands, and all socialised medicine is sold to US healthcare firms. All unions must be rendered toothless (or better still disbanded) – whilst all borders must be “open” to allow the movement of free labour. Hordes of migrant workers lower wages and diminished living standards, etc. That US institution of “tipping” exists because employers in the US do not need to pay a worker a proper living wage – and so the consumer not only has to pay for the service or product provided – but are also expected to subsidise the pay of the worker! How utterly disrespectful of the customer and the worker. Well, in London today, the Mayor of London has permitted restaurants to automatically add 10% or 15% to the bills – for food that is already highly priced. This is what happens when nefarious outside forces are allowed to infiltrate the interior of your country and rip the innards out of your culture! Any genuine Marxist-Leninist would oppose the EU.

DPRK: US Claims of “De-Nuclearization” a Myth! (9.6.2026)

The U.S. assertion to backbite the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state has no legally binding force and no one will be bound by the U.S. unilateral rhetoric.

The forces, which have remained most hostile to the DPRK and expressed through undisguised speech and behaviour their sinister intention to be most outrageous in the present and future, should stop slandering the just policy of the DPRK for self-defence and, in particular, give up the daydream about “denuclearization”.

We are now eyeing the course of the dangerous evolution of the nuclear alliance against the DPRK.

All acts of shaking the security of the DPRK and the region down to the roots, including the expansion and development of aggressive military blocs sharing nukes, the conduct of various military drills premised on the use of nuclear weapons and the constant deployment of nuclear strategic assets, clearly prove the justness and legitimacy of building a solid nuclear shield of the DPRK.

UK Police Truncheons!

UK: What Does It Mean To Be “Arrested”? (8.6.2026)

A wrongful arrest and false imprisonment charge must be pursued through the courts (after the arrest has been duly processed without resisting) – that is how the law in a bourgeois society operates – and there is nothing you can do about it until society changes. Changing society cannot happen whilst you are being arrested – as it is not the time or the place. This requires a mature mentality and an educated perspective. Read, learn, contemplate, and discuss. Work-out how life operates and what are your best options within it. Do not allow yourself to be goaded by sexism, racism, or any comments uttered by arresting Officers. Ignore them all and behave yourself. Try not to hurt an Officer – even if they are hurting you. You may not like this – but you must learn to be indifferent to this type of abuse (learn to like it) – as the System will punish YOU and not the Officers concerned. The Police are usually workers who are privileged to support and defend their bourgeois employers – they will not jeopardise the perks they earn by betraying their own working-class. Again, such is life – deal with it. Some Police do good work, risk their lives, and protect the vulnerable – this is a fact and it would be wrong of me to deny this. The agency of the Police is non-democratic, and a top-down totalitarian system that reminds those living in a bourgeois society just how fragile their freedoms really are.
