China's Youth Surges Forward!

China: Young Communist League – 74.8 Million Members! (3.5.2024)

The CYLC had nearly 4.32 million organizations across China by the end of 2023, according to statistics released by the CYLC Central Committee.

There were roughly 1.91 million CYLC organizations at schools, colleges and universities last year, with around 38.25 million members, the data showed.

The remaining CYLC organizations were linked to enterprises, public institutions, urban and rural communities, social organizations and other fields.

The Mysterious ‘2015’ Death of the First Russian Army Soldier – Private Kostenko – to Die in Syria! (22.5.2023) 

Having cross-referenced Russian-language texts I can confirm that Sergeant SOKUROV Eduard (СОКУРОВ Эдуард) did indeed die whilst serving in Syria prior to Vadim Kostenko. The distinction seems to be that Vadim Kostenko was ‘Contracted’ to serve a set time and in a set place – and was not a Career Soldier – or a Professional Specialist as was Edward Sokurov. Vadim Kostenko, therefore, was the first ‘ordinary’ Russian Army soldier to ‘die’ in Syria (but was the ‘second’ to die overall). Still, given the Great Patriotic War numbers that are dying in Donbass today – discussion of individual cases of mortality (confronting US hegemony around the world) seems almost superfluous and self-indulgent by comparison!

Gun Violence – COVID-19 Deaths Ignored as Self-Interest Rules US: The Hill! (25.4.2023)

The article quoted Hubert Humphrey, an American pharmacist and politician who served as the 38th vice president of the United States from 1965 to 1969, as saying that “the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly, those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, firearms take the lives of 5.6 out of every 100,000 American children between ages 3 and 18. “No other developed nation is even close,” said the report.

“Our record on COVID response is similarly dismal. Ranked first among 177 nations in our capacity to respond to a pandemic in November 2019, on the eve of the pandemic, the United States ranks last among wealthy nations and close to last among all nations in our infection and fatality rates,” it added.

China: Mother’s Mean Age at First-Birth to Keep Rising! (11.4.2023)

The mean age of women at first marriage was 25.7 years old and that at first birth was 26.8 years old in 2017, both much higher than the legal age for marriage, said the NHC, citing data from the National Bureau of Statistics.

The NHC said financial burden, children’s care and women’s worries about employment have become the main factors restricting fertility.

The commission promised that it will improve supporting measures with relevant departments to create a good social environment for marriage and childbearing.

DPRK: North Korean Youth Display Their Collective Anti-US Strength! (4.4.2023)

The youth and students of Nampo, Raseon and Kaesong showed their merciless will to punish the ostentatious warlords by giving unsparingly their youthful energy to the National Guard, practicing Revolutionary aggression and warfare!

The roaring shouts of the young people waving red flags and vowing the annihilation of the US enemy resonated fully throughout the country!

A great parade of Revolutionary songs was held by the young students!

Singing songs such as “Song of Defending the Fatherland” and “Advance Again”, the young students marched through the streets, swearing an oath to firmly carry on the history and tradition of heroic Korea’s hundred victories as befits the descendants of the great victorious generation!

When the Party issued an order to advance south, bravery was achieved and the nation’s long-cherished desire of national reunification was accomplished without fail, and the strong spirit of the young vanguards shook the heavens and earth. (End)
