As the global race to develop humanoid robots is heating up, China has recently scored significant advancements in the industry, with mass production of embodied artificial intelligence-powered robots already realized.

On December 27, 2024, the Chinese military’s newest 076 amphibious assault ship, the first of its class named “Sichuan,” was launched. Official media, bloggers, and nationalists erupted in celebration, flooding the internet with exaggerated and contradictory claims of “cutting-edge technology.” They boasted of electromagnetic catapults, drone carriers, fixed-wing early warning aircraft capabilities, and even arresting wires at the stern, comparing its performance to light aircraft carriers. Some even claimed this vessel propels China’s navy into the world’s top tier. But is this true, or is it just a misrepresented “drone carrier concept model” hyped by propaganda?

The Haolong space cargo shuttle, a Chinese independently developed reusable winged space cargo vehicle, is expected to further reduce the cost of delivering fresh food to China’s space station, according to its chief designer.

How much is China pushing woke ideology in America? Today we interview James Lindsay about China and the Woke Right.

The Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to “conquer and transform nature” have never stopped. Recently, many videos and articles have been circulating online, showing what appears to be a massive project to level the Loess Plateau and create five million acres of farmland. Reports suggest the project involves a budget of about one trillion yuan. One video shows countless bulldozers and excavators at work on the rugged, eroded landscape of the Loess Plateau. Machines rumble as steep slopes collapse, and yellow dust fills the air. Just watching the video, you can almost imagine the earthy smell of the loosened soil.

One blogger in China said, this isn’t China’s Spring Festival travel rush; this is China’s children’s hospital.Another blogger shared: the places crowded with people right now aren’t shopping malls or supermarkets, but various children’s hospitals across Beijing.

China will prioritise economic growth and can overcome domestic difficulties and external headwinds in 2025, President Xi Jinping said in his televised New Year’s Eve message on December 31, 2024.

The suspension of the Gaoming Modern Tram Demonstration Line in Foshan, China, highlights challenges faced by infrastructure projects in some third- and fourth-tier cities. While the line was recognized for its innovative approach as the world’s first hydrogen-powered tram, operational issues have led to its sudden halt. Similar tram projects in various Chinese cities have faced suspension or closure due to low passenger traffic and high maintenance costs, posing financial burdens on local governments.The enthusiasm for tram projects in the past decade has waned as challenges in project sustainability have emerged. Urban rail transit, including trams, was initially viewed as a cost-effective alternative to subways, with lower construction costs and greater flexibility in approval processes. However, inadequate passenger traffic and escalating operational subsidies have undermined the viability of tram projects across China.Local governments, eager to showcase infrastructure development and boost transportation options, have faced the reality of inefficient tram lines with limited ridership. The failure to match operational costs with revenue generation has resulted in significant financial strains, with local finances bearing the burden of subsidies to sustain tram operations. The overestimation of passenger flow and inadequate network planning have compounded the challenges faced by tram projects, rendering many lines underutilized and financially unsustainable.The dilemma experienced by tram projects underscores the need for prudent infrastructure investment and long-term planning to ensure financial viability and operational sustainability. The shift towards cost-effective alternatives must be balanced with considerations for ongoing maintenance and operational costs to prevent infrastructure projects from becoming financial liabilities in the future. As China navigates the complexities of infrastructure development and maintenance, strategic and sustainable approaches are essential to ensure the long-term success of urban transit projects and mitigate financial risks associated with infrastructure support.

In his 2025 New Years address, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Taiwan and China are “one family,” and that “no one can prevent” the unification of the motherland.The comments are similar to remarks made last year, when Xi said China would “surely be unified,” and that both sides of the Taiwan Strait should have a common purpose.📹 Reporter(s): Scott Huang/Cadence Quaranta#TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews #Strait #Beijing #crossstrait #Xi
