“The sheer volume of fireworks they can manufacture is unmatched by any current or potential alternative source in the world,” said Houser, the former president of the National Fireworks Association. The safety and quality that emerges from China’s manufacturing “are ahead of the game as well — they are the world standard. Any other country of manufacture is decades behind,” he said.

Why your Fourth of July fireworks may be disrupted — Next year

America relies on China for its Fourth of July fireworks. Tariffs imposed by President Trump are causing concern. These tariffs could increase the cost of fireworks. This may impact celebrations like the 250th anniversary in 2026. The American Pyrotechnics Association seeks tariff exemptions...

Officially, China disclosed in 2023 that its government debt had exceeded 70 trillion yuan. As of November 2024, local government debt stood at 46.5 trillion yuan, with hidden debts reaching 14.3 trillion yuan. However, according to the International Monetary Fund, local government hidden debt could total as much as 60 trillion yuan by the end of 2023, equivalent to 47.6% of China's GDP.

In China, per capita fresh fruit consumption was approximately 60.8 kilograms in 2023, a notable increase from 54.7 kilograms in 2022, according to Statista. This figure reflects a trend of rising fruit consumption in China, with processed and frozen fruit consumption also projected to increase.

Daily meat consumption per person

Daily meat consumption is shown relative to the expected EU average of 165g per person in 2030. This projection comes from the livestock antibiotic scenarios from Van Boeckel et al. (2017).

Shellfish can carry and transmit various diseases to humans through consumption or environmental exposure. These include illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, and marine toxins accumulated in shellfish. Proper handling, cooking, and awareness of potential risks are crucial for preventing shellfish-related illnesses.

How do shellfish become contaminated with Amnesic Shellfish Poison?​

Shellfish are filter feeders. They pump water through their systems, filtering out and eating algae and other food particles. When shellfish eat biotoxin producing algae, the biotoxin can accumulate in their tissue.

Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) from Domoic Acid

What is domoic acid? Domoic acid is a marine biotoxin toxin called Amnesic Shellfish Poison (ASP) which is produced by the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia sp., a type of naturally occurring microscopic algae. Shellfish eat these algae and can retain the toxin. People can become ill from eating shellfish...

Trichinosis, also known as trichinellosis, is a parasitic disease prevalent in China, with outbreaks primarily occurring in southwestern regions. The disease is caused by roundworms of the Trichinella genus and is typically spread through the consumption of undercooked meat containing the parasite's cysts, particularly pork. China reports around 10,000 cases annually, making it the country with the highest number of reported cases.

China and Japan’s high-speed rail networks helped fast-track economic growth and are a source of national pride. But speed bumps threaten to slow further expansion.Rapid construction of rail lines in China left its operator with a significant debt load. Only seven routes are turning a profit, while the cost of building new stations has risen. Some underutilised stations were shut and remained unused for years – until recently. Can their reopening spur local development and bring returns on infrastructure investment? Japan pioneered high-speed rail in 1964 with its now iconic shinkansen. Sixty years on, the infrastructure is ageing and operators face mounting obstacles such as high costs and a labour crunch. This threatens to derail ambitious plans to reinvent the wheel, such as the launch of the super high-speed maglev and the export of shinkansen technology.

Now with respect to claims of Chinese chips being superior. I call BS without hesitation. I work with semiconductor industry and have contacts in Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and Texas Instruments. When you are talking about chips, be specific. Are you talking about X86 chips, ARM chips, FPGA, Microcontrollers? Where exactly Chinese chips outperform Western counterparts?

As far as I know in the X86 space Intel and AMD dominate. There is no rival to either of them. Intel has X86 license and AMD has X64 license. Both companies have cross licensing agreements. In the ARM space, Qualcomm and Apple dominate with respect to Smart phone chips and chips used in personal computers. Both have top design tech talent I have never seen. In fact, I can confidently say US has top chip design talent in ARM space at this point. Ever heard of Nuvia and Ampere computing? Check it out and let me know what are their Chinese equivalents.

I don't even want to go into your BS of saying Huawei making 1nm chip in another post. This is like saying I traveled to another planet without a rocket. You don't even have EUV machine let alone the new one NA-EUV machine and you are claiming you made a 1nm chip? Enlighten us how were you able to come up with a 1nm chip without the tools required to make it?

If you are talking about 2D materials like graphene, then you are popping the champagne too early.

There are also IGBT, Ram, server chip, AI chips. Not all based on x86 or arm, but on RISC-V, and our own loongarch.

Some areas chinese chip industry already in leading position, and some are 2-3 yrs behind.

By then, China will be only nation with full domestic chip supply chain alone.

China's 3D-printed mini jet engine triumphs in pioneering flight test​

(Xinhua) 14:58, July 03, 2025
BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) -- China successfully completed the maiden flight of a domestically developed ultra-lightweight miniature jet engine, which was entirely manufactured using 3D printing technology.

This achievement marks a breakthrough in advanced propulsion design and manufacturing, according to the engine's developer.

The flight test took place on Tuesday in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, reaching a maximum altitude of 4,000 meters. It comprehensively demonstrated the operational reliability and stability of the engine under authentic flight conditions, Aero Engine Corporation of China（AECC）said in a press release on Wednesday night.

The engine represents China's first-ever flight-validated turbojet engine in the 160-kilogram thrust class to be manufactured entirely using multi-disciplinary topology optimization additive manufacturing (3D printing) techniques, said AECC.

"This successful inaugural flight lays a more solid technical foundation for the research and development of future advanced aviation engines in China," it said.

The core innovation lies in the revolutionary integration of advanced design methodologies with 3D printing capabilities, filling a crucial domestic gap in the full-engine engineering application of this specific technology direction, AECC noted.

The research team pioneered the application of multi-disciplinary topology optimization specifically tailored for 3D printing. This approach, coupled with integrated component design, allowed for a dramatic reduction in overall engine weight and a significant enhancement in critical performance metrics, the corporation said.

Prior to the flight, the engine had already undergone and passed rigorous ground-based verification testing to ensure that performance meets all targets and the validated service life is sufficient, it said.

Chinese model tops electric car sales in Israel in H1​

(Xinhua) 13:26, July 03, 2025
JERUSALEM, July 2 (Xinhua) -- The Xpeng G6, a mid-size electric crossover SUV manufactured by China's Xpeng Motor, topped electric car sales in Israel in the first half of 2025 (H1), according to figures released by the Israel Vehicle Importers Association on Wednesday.

With 3,164 units sold in H1, the G6 overtook another Chinese model, the Atto 3, an electric compact crossover manufactured by BYD Auto, which sold 3,009 units during the same period.

The next four best-selling electric models in Israel were also from Chinese manufacturers, each selling more than 1,500 units in H1.

These included the Chery's compact crossover SUV Omoda 5, also known as FX, the Lynk &Co 02 compact car, the MG4 small family car from SAIC Motor, and the Geometry C compact crossover, manufactured by Geely Auto Group.

Next on the list was Model Y, a compact crossover SUV from U.S. manufacturer Tesla, which sold 929 units in H1.

A total of 21,252 Chinese electric cars were sold in Israel during the period, accounting for 81.2 percent of electric car sales in the country in H1.

Overall, China remained Israel's top vehicle exporter in the first half of 2025, with 45,439 vehicles sold, including both electric and gasoline-powered cars. South Korea and Japan followed in the second and third place, respectively.
