In central China’s Shanxi, a residential community has drawn attention for its “rooftop rain” — a mist cooling system that drops surface temperatures by 5–8°C in minutes.
You probably don't realize how common drones have become in China.
For many people here, drones are already part of everyday life. Farmers use them to spray crops. Firefighters use them for rescue operations and firefighting. Construction teams use them on job sites. They also deliver packages, clean high-rise buildings, inspect infrastructure, and carry out aerial surveying.
Behind these everyday scenes is one of the world's largest drone industries. According to industry statistics, China produces more than 40 million drones every year. Around 18 million are consumer drones, about 14 million are industrial drones used for agriculture, infrastructure inspection, surveying, logistics, and FPV applications, while approximately 4.5 million are exported worldwide.
In north China’s Hebei, a student just finishing Gaokao (national college entrance exam) said that her idol is Yuan Longping, the late agri-scientist whose hybrid rice fed hundreds of millions of people in China and around the world.
That’s the spirit of China’s youth: grounded, grateful, and aiming to feed the future.
This is the most ironic part:
America thinks Tiananmen is China’s disgrace.
No.
It was the disgrace of Washington’s failed attempt to subvert China.
The U.S. has no right to weaponize China’s resistance to regime-change subversion while pretending its own streets are clean.
Bonus Army.
Kent State.
MOVE bombing.
Waco.
George Floyd protests.

You don‘t hate state violence.
You hate state violence you cannot narrate, export, or control.
There is a famous saying in China that has been passed down for ages: "After returning from the Five Great Mountains, one does not look at other mountains."
This means that China's Five Great Mountains—Mount Tai in the east (Shandong), Mount Hua in the west (Shaanxi), Mount Heng in the south (Hunan), Mount Heng in the north (Shanxi), and Mount Song in the center (Henan)—are so magnificent and precipitous that once you've seen them, no other mountains in the world seem worth looking at.
However, there is an even more remarkable follow-up to this phrase: "After returning from Huangshan, one does not look at the Five Great Mountains."
The idea is that if you visit Mount Huangshan in Anhui, you'll find that it combines almost all the best qualities of the Five Great Mountains (majesty, danger, elegance, uniqueness, and mystery). Even if you have already seen the Five Great Mountains, they pale in comparison to Huangshan, making a trip to the Five Great Mountains seem almost unnecessary.⛰️🌄
Remember your $5,000 donation to north China’s Mu Us Desert, Mr. Sakolsky? It grew into 50,000 trees!
National model farmer Yin Yuzhen sends her thanks—and an invitation:
“Come and see what your kindness has made possible.”
The arrogant Financial Times was caught LYING about China's poverty alleviation campaign. FT visited rural Guizhou where they claimed the campaign had failed. Thankfully news outlet Sinical visited the same woman FT interviewed to fact check their story. The woman told Sinical that FT's "journalists" had been extremely dishonest and unethical. They didn't identify themselves as journalists and they didn't tell her they worked for the Financial Times. The elderly woman is living a comfortable life, and this is what her house looks like. Thank you Sinical for holding dishonest Western journalists accountable!
No exaggeration at all! It feels like hundreds of millions of people flooded into Shanghai this May Day holiday. The Bund is packed and full of lively vibes!
