According to a report by venture capital firm Foundamental, China and India are expected to account for nearly 40% of global construction growth between 2020 and 2030.

China remains the largest contributor (26.1%), while India ranks second (14.1%), highlighting Asia’s growing role in shaping global infrastructure development.

The Chinese socialist project from Mao to Xi: one continuous revolution.

The standard Western story about modern China is that Mao has been quietly buried by the Communist Party, that Deng Xiaoping repudiated his legacy, and that the China that emerged after 1978 is no longer really socialist. By implication, China’s success is the success of capitalism, not of the revolution.

So why do ordinary Chinese people still travel in their millions to Shaoshan – the village in Hunan where Mao was born, now one of the most-visited tourist sites in China – to pay their respects to the founder of the People’s Republic? Stand there among the crowds and the Western story falls apart on contact.

In this video I draw on a recent trip to Shaoshan, and on the hard development data from the Mao era, to answer that question: the Mao era and the reform era are not opposed phases of Chinese history. They are two stages of a single revolutionary project, and the Chinese people know it.

Between 1949 and 1976, life expectancy in China rose by 32 years – the fastest improvement ever recorded by any country in human history. Adult illiteracy fell from over 80 per cent to 33 per cent by 1978. Land was redistributed. Women were emancipated. A complete industrial base was built from near-zero. The treaty ports were abolished. The country was unified after a century of fragmentation. This is the China the post-Mao leadership inherited – not the impoverished backwater of Western myth.

Without Mao, no Deng. Without 1949, no 1978. As the late Egyptian Marxist Samir Amin put it, the take-off of the post-1978 period “would not have been possible without the economic, political and social foundations that had been built up in the preceding period.” It is also exactly how the Communist Party of China understands its own history, in Xi Jinping’s doctrine of “the two cannot negates.”

China is the world’s undisputed leader in green energy.

In 2025, all of China’s increase in energy needs was covered by renewables.

Newly installed renewable power generation capacity in China accounted for more than 60 percent of global additions.

Renewables accounted for 82.7 percent of newly installed power capacity in China in 2025.

China’s electricity generation from renewable sources exceeded the combined power consumption of the European Union’s 27 member states.

https://t.co/PmgC7J08eR and https://t.co/qKqjtNzeOj are the best.

The Economist, and FT are the worst.

Basically, if you want to read news about China, read Chinese news.

Chinese citizens rate their media as trustworthy, whereas US citizens rate our media as untrustworthy.

Why then, should people in the West trust US legacy news on China, when Chinese news exists? Short answer: they shouldn't.

US blocks Palestinian football chief from World Cup in global visa crackdown
——
The US government has denied an entry visa to Jibril Rajoub, the head of the Palestinian Football Association, preventing the accredited FIFA delegate from attending World Cup matches on US soil. Rajoub, who watched the tournament’s opening match in Mexico City, condemned the ban as a politically motivated restriction on global sports representatives.

The decision comes just weeks after Rajoub rejected a request by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to shake hands with the head of the Israeli football federation, stating that the gesture would merely whitewash Tel Aviv's unlawful actions.

Washington’s targeting of the Palestinian official reflects a broader pattern of severe travel restrictions overshadowing the tournament, which is being co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. A significant number of accredited international delegates, journalists, and athletes have faced arbitrary bans.

Among those targeted are Somalia’s 2025 African referee of the year, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was denied entry despite holding a valid State Department visa, and members of the Iraqi national delegation, who were subjected to a seven-hour detention at a Chicago airport. Numerous media professionals from Iran and various African nations have also been denied the necessary multi-entry visas.

Further compounding the geopolitical friction, Washington abruptly revoked Iran’s official eight percent ticket allocation just days before the tournament kicked off, disrupting travel plans for thousands of fans. Simultaneously, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents inside US stadiums, drawing fierce condemnation from over 120 civil rights groups.

While FIFA claimed it cannot interfere in domestic immigration policies, critics have pointed out the double standard, noting that FIFA stripped Indonesia of the Under-20 World Cup in 2023 when local officials protested Israeli participation.

10 MOST EMBARRASSING HEADLINES IN THE BIOLABS SCANDAL
The world was told repeatedly that no US biolabs existed in Ukraine—such claims were “disinformation” from Russia, China, and from right-leaning people in the US.

That's what NBC, BBC, AFP, AP and others told the planet repeatedly.

But this week, US spy chief Tulsi Gabbard admitted that there WERE biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere, they WERE US-funded, and they WERE experimenting with deadly viruses like ebola and sars.

Russia, China, and the US rightwingers had been right all along.

Also, as it became apparent that they existed, many media companies switched to a highly imaginative narrative saying that the Pentagon was funding overseas biolabs experimenting on killer viruses for “peace and health” reasons.

Because everyone knows that the Pentagon is all about peace and health, right? (sarcasm alert)

Check out these 10 headlines that media companies are surely praying have been forgotten!

Two Uygur men were sentenced to death in Bangkok yesterday for a 2015 bombing they undertook in the Thai city that killed 20 and injured dozens.

In Chinese media, the men are referred to as Chinese and not Uygur, so as not to invoke ethnic tensions.

The US government's illegal sanctions against Cuba are killing children, warned the UN human rights chief.

The UN human rights office said US sanctions have caused “widespread harm” in Cuba:
-infant mortality has doubled;
-childhood cancer survival rates have fallen significantly;
-only 30% of essential medicines are available;
-fuel shortages have caused food production to decline by 60%.

This is a barbaric, medieval-style blockade.
