China: World Autism Awareness Day – Joint Efforts in China Light the Way for Children with Autism! (2.4.2025)

Over the 18 years since its establishment, the institution has expanded from a small classroom with just three teachers and five children to a centre with 54 teachers capable of helping more than 300 children each year.

Teachers take the children to farms, theatres and playgrounds, allowing them to try their hand at activities such as making soybean milk, picking fruit, feeding animals and riding horses.

Sun still remembers the despair she saw in the eyes of parents of autistic children back in the 2000s, when there were few specialized institutions to help them. Having trained as an educator, she brought two other teachers to Beijing to study before they established the first educational centre for children with autism in Shenyang.

China: Friendly Community Built for Seniors with Cognitive Impairments! (6.1.2025)

It outlines efforts to encourage the setup of memory-related clinics in healthcare institutions and cognitive impairment departments in eligible hospitals, with improved standard for senile dementia diagnosis and treatment.

Russell Brand: A Short Study in the Superficiality of ‘White’ (Male) Privilege & Sexual Decadence! (21.9.2023)

Of course, his sexual behaviour is not unique to him, or even to men and women. Wealth, adulation and privilege only adds to this situation. Every so often – the hypocritical (Bourgeois) media manufacture or pursue a self-righteous drive to build revenue through intensified public interest (basic capitalist economics). A media star badly behaving is the best and most lucrative type of ‘copy’. The strong ‘witch-hunt’ element to this media attack on Russell Brand does not placate or justify Brand’s behaviour – anymore than it justifies the generally poor and deceptive behaviour of the mainstream press. Should Brand end up in prison – his social media presence will vanish. The above should act as an archive to Russell Brand’s duplicity and explain how he did attempt to appeal to the left – before firmly rejecting it for his own version of inverted thinking and anti-intellectualism.
