GUIYANG, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- The construction of the Core Array of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) started Wednesday, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research.

As a proposed extension of FAST, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site, said Jiang Peng, deputy director of the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Chinese-designed array will combine the unprecedented sensitivity of FAST with a high angular resolution, thereby exceeding the capabilities at similar frequencies of next-generation arrays in the world.

The FAST Core Array is estimated to be completed and put into operation in 2027.

"The CNBM is dedicated to promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the building materials industry," said Zhou. He added that this collaboration will help the CNBM utilize its expertise in offering comprehensive low-carbon solutions in the non-metallic materials sector, thereby supporting Saudi Aramco's transformation and development.

Wail Al Jaafari, Aramco's executive vice president for technical services, highlighted the company's commitment to expanding its relationship with CNBM to pursue breakthroughs in materials science.

"By combining Aramco's expertise in nonmetallic materials and CNBM's industry know-how, we aim to identify groundbreaking advances and new business opportunities," he said.

The cooperation agreement builds on Aramco's existing relationship with CNBM, following the launch of the Nonmetallic Excellence and Innovation Center for Building Materials in Beijing in 2021.

so what you keep silence how come China only imports 1/4 of what it exports from the uSA and Mexico imports 3/4 of what it exports to the USA. who do you think will be more affected?

yes trump can impose tariffs on Mexico but we buy much more, you buy less, so they lose less if they impose tariffs on american companies, in your case they put tariffs on Chinese car brands, in our case on american tractor manufacturers, likely you will lose more

On September 25, it was reported that Wang Zhonglin, a world-leading scientist in nanoscience and nanotechnology known as the "father of the nanogenerator," has left his decades-long career in the United States and returned to China for a position.



According to the South China Morning Post on September 24, multiple Chinese media outlets and a professor from Georgia Tech have confirmed that Wang Zhonglin has resigned from his position in the U.S. and is currently working full-time at a research institute in Beijing that he helped establish. As of the publication by IT Home, neither Wang Zhonglin nor Georgia Tech has responded to this matter.

The report also mentioned that at the end of 2010, Wang Zhonglin came to China to attend a conference where Bai Chunli, then the executive vice president and deputy secretary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, asked him if he was interested in leading the establishment of a research institute focused on nanotechnology and nanomaterials. After returning to the U.S., Wang immediately applied to Georgia Tech, and after receiving approval, he helped establish the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The official website of the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems shows that the first council meeting was held on July 19 this year, where seven industry and investment experts, including Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Li Yuliang, formed the first council of the institute. According to information on its website, the meeting voted to appoint Wang Zhonglin as the director and chief scientist of the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems. Wang expressed his gratitude to all parties and the council for their trust and stated that he would continue to lead the institute along the path of scientific originality, enhance international presence, and solidify its leading position in the field.

Public information shows that Wang Zhonglin was born in 1961 in Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Northwest Institute of Telecommunications Engineering (now Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology) in 1982. He is a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a foreign academician of the European Academy, a foreign academician of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, the director of the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, the dean of the Nano Institute of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, a chair professor, and a doctoral supervisor.

Wang Zhonglin mainly engages in theoretical and applied research in nanomaterials science, including the synthesis, characterization, growth mechanisms, and applications of zinc oxide nanomaterials; controllable growth, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials; nanotechnology and self-driven nanosystems technology; piezoelectronics and piezo-optics. In 2019, Wang Zhonglin received the Albert Einstein World Science Prize, becoming the first Chinese scientist to win this award.

According to the latest global "Standardized Citation Indicators for All Scientists" database released by Elsevier, the world's largest academic publisher, and Stanford University, Wang Zhonglin ranked second in overall career impact and has ranked first in annual scientific impact for five consecutive years.

The odds are stacked against many Chinese electric vehicle (E.V.) firms. And yet they keep hanging on.

A decline in federal government subsidies, tariffs from abroad, intense price competition, and waning demand should have led to a consolidated Chinese E.V. market. But local governments have used incentives to keep half-dead E.V. firms from shuttering, and in some cases, even revived dead ones.

Such Chinese E.V. manufacturers have benefited greatly from massive industrial policy support from the government. A combination of "generous government subsidies, tax breaks, procurement contracts, and other policy incentives," as laid out in the MIT Technology Review, helped create the dominant E.V. market China has today. In just the Chinese domestic market, for example, E.V. ownership reached 13.1 million in 2022, accounting for 60 percent of global sales.


China's industry dominance, however, has raised eyebrows among many legislators in the U.S. and European Union, who see China as a threat to their manufacturing sectors. In response, China has steadily phased out many forms of subsidies. According to estimates from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), subsidies per vehicle dropped nearly 66 percent between 2018 and 2023.

And yet most Chinese E.V. companies are still reliant on subsidies. As corporate earnings reports show, only BYD Auto has managed to make a profit.

It is difficult to measure the exact scope of local policy intervention in the E.V. market, but some localities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and the Changping District in Beijing have created modest rebate programs ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan per vehicle. And because of how difficult it can be to shut down companies in China, sometimes bribes are necessary to force a small firm to close. China is also implementing an initiative centered around creating "new productive forces" that has empowered provincial governments to revive local E.V. producers in order to expand their "high-income workforce, which can then drive consumption," according to Bloomberg.

Because many subsidies provided by the Chinese government go directly to consumers, potential middlemen like provinces have historically been excluded from access. Now, however, local governments have successfully inserted themselves into the E.V. business by setting up funds and investment vehicles to funnel money into E.V. companies.

"Depending on how they are set up, these funds and investment vehicles might take out loans from banks, sell bonds, or raise money from investors," writer and researcher G.A. Donovan, who authored a recent paper on the subject, tells Reason. "Funds from higher levels of government also trickle down to localities for all kinds of purposes."

One prominent example is the eastern city of Hefei, which invested 5 billion yuan into NIO Inc.'s E.V. business. Because of this, NIO moved its headquarters to Hefei and went from originally outsourcing production to a Hefei-based manufacturer to taking ownership of the plant and adding specialized production, research and development facilities, and expanding its subscription service for replaceable batteries, according to CSIS.

Not all of NIO's fundraising has come from local governments, as Donovan explains. Chinese firms have taken up Silicon Valley–like methods of raising capital from "capital markets, sovereign wealth funds, and private equity and venture capital investors." NIO and its peers, however, continue to bleed losses of around $6 billion, an amount that many investors deemed intolerable, causing NIO's stock price to fall more than 90 percent.

Fortunately for them, the Wuhan municipal government fund has invested over $200 million in NIO's battery management subsidiary, helping them temporarily halt the free fall.
