China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative:

China’s one belt, one road initiative set to transform economy by connecting with trading partners along ancient Silk Road.

Central government uses land and sea routes to connect with 65 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, targeting five areas – infrastructure, trade, policy, finance and people.


The China-led New Silk Road initiative envisages the creation of a 13,000 km-long corridor that will cross China, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany...

Passing across the Chinese frontier through the Alataw Pass in Xinjiang, Europe-bound trains cross Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland and reach Germany after about 14 days...

From Harbin in northeast China, Yiwu in the east, Wuhan and Changsha in central China, cargo trains carry IT equipment, automobiles and other products to Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and Spain, and bring the best of Europe to Chinese customers.


With its bold vision and extensive geographical reach, China’s one belt, one road initiative has the scope to transform patterns of trade, investment and thinking over the coming decades.

Chinese scientists announce results from new (PandaX) detector

Chinese scientists have announced the first results of the search for dark matter with the world’s largest liquid xenon detector. The results were made public at the 2016 Conference on the Identification of Dark Matter in the UK. They show that within a certain exposure, no trace of dark matter was observed. Why is this important?

The elusive particles known as dark matter are one of the great mysteries of science.

A China-led project named PandaX is a gigantic liquid xenon experiment to detect dark matter in the universe.

The 500-kilogram liquid xenon detector is the world’s largest. It began operating in March this year.

The first results show that NO trace of dark matter was observed within the exposure of the experiment.

A “no” result is significant, as it provides further constraints on the possible candidates of dark matter.

“The detector used in the project is powerful. The results are quite clear. Under a certain condition, within our exposure level, we haven’t detected any dark matter signal,” said Professor Ji Xiangdong, SH Jiao Tong University.

Not only is the detector the world’s largest, it's also the world's most sensitive.

"To use a metaphor, a detector is like a web. The bigger the detector, the more closely knit the web. The more closely knit the web, the better the chances of detecting dark matter," said professor Liu Jianglai.

The study of and search for dark matter has revolved around what material it is made of.

There are theories of potential candidate particles. Experiments are used to either validate or rule them out.

Chinese scientists are leading the search to understand dark matter.

The PandaX laboratory is located inside an underground tunnel in a mountainous area in southwest China’s Sichuan Province.

2.4 kilometers of rock shield it from the interference of cosmic rays and other radioactive substances.

There are plans to continue to upgrade the detector, in hopes of finding a breakthrough at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

China, Russia navies to hold drill in South China Sea

BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua) -- The navies of China and Russia will hold a joint drill in South China Sea in September, spokesperson Yang Yujun of China's Defense Ministry said Thursday.

The drill, codenamed Joint Sea-2016, is a product of the consensus reached by the two sides, said Yang.

Held on both land and sea, the drill is a routine one between China and Russia, and does not target any third party, according to Yang.

The drill will consolidate and develop the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, deepen pragmatic and friendly cooperation between the two militaries, and enhance the capabilities of the two navies to jointly deal with maritime security threats, Yang said.

More details about the kangaroo court (PCA) and their farce of a ruling against China abusing/misusing the name of "international law".

PUBLISHED : Thursday, 14 July, 2016, 2:04am
UPDATED : Thursday, 14 July, 2016, 2:04am


13 Jul 2016
The United Nations clarified on its Chinese microblog yesterday that the tribunal that ruled against China’s historic claims over the disputed South China Sea was not a UN agency.

The statement came amid apparent public misunderstanding of the tribunal’s operations.

The UN said the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, which issued the decision on the case on Tuesday, operated out of the same building, the Peace Palace, as the UN’s primary justice branch, the International Court of Justice, but the two agencies were unrelated.


In other words, PCA just so happens to rent space in the same building as the real International Court of Justice (UN agency), disguising itself as a legitimate legal entity (when it was a kangaroo court all along...)

PCA Arbitration

PH (= Philippines): "Daddy, China does not accept the [bogus] ruling. Help me."

USA: "Don't worry, we will pressure China into accepting the outcome of the verdict."

PH: "Daddy the PLA is launching massive drills with over 100 warships, bombers, and fighters."

USA:"Sorry mate, you are on your own now."
