China: Scientists Discover Age of Mid-Latitude Asian Deserts! (30.10.2024)

The research, titled “Spatial heterogeneity in the formation of large deserts in midlatitude Asia revealed by drill core evidence”, was published in the Science Bulletin this month.

“The climatic and environmental effects of dust aerosols significantly impact the global climate, biogeochemical cycles, marine ecosystems and even the global carbon cycle,” Wang said. He added that the research contributes to a better understanding of the long-term environmental changes in the deserts, a crucial source of dust for the Northern Hemisphere.

“Unravelling the history of the desert and its climate impacts will provide insights into how desert systems may respond to future climate changes,” Wang said, adding that the team will continue studying the drill cores to gain further insights into the formation and evolution of these deserts.

Xinjiang: BBC Continues Its US-Ordered Campaign of Disinformation! (8.8.2023)

The great achievements of Xinjiang in economic development, social progress, and improvement to people’s lives are widely recognized around the world. This can never be distorted by a small group of separatists elements colluding with anti-China forces in the US and the West for the purpose of misleading the public. Over the past 60 years and more since the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region was established, the region’s economy has grown 160 times. Its Uygur population has expanded from 2.2 million to about 12 million, and the average life expectancy there has increased from 30 to 74.7 years. In recent years, more than 2,000 government officials, religious personnel and journalists from over 100 countries and international organizations have visited Xinjiang. They have spoken highly of the inclusive development of diverse cultures and the stable and peaceful life enjoyed by people in Xinjiang, and expressed understanding and support for the region’s counterterrorism and de-radicalization efforts.

Geneva Envoys from Asian, African Developing Countries Visit Xinjiang! (30.8.2022)

The envoys said they witnessed a diverse, modern and inclusive society during their four-day trip to Xinjiang, which is in sharp contrast to what the rumours of “forced labour” and “ethnic genocide” depicted.

The envoys added that they will share their experience in Xinjiang with others after returning to Geneva, refute rumours and lies about Xinjiang, and firmly support China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its legitimate position.
