At the center of the farm’s irrigation strategy is a 23-acre reservoir with a storage capacity of 1.2 million cubic metres of water, forming the backbone of a water management system designed to stabilize cultivation cycles in a region where rainfall variability can affect traditional farming patterns. Beyond cultivation, the farm has also invested heavily in post-harvest systems. Its processing complex includes a rice mill with a capacity of three tonnes per hour, supported by a dryer, an ultra-modern warehouse, and silo storage capable of holding 1,300 metric tonnes of paddy rice. Together, these facilities allow the farm to move beyond primary production into value addition, strengthening the agricultural value chain and reducing post-harvest losses. The results are already becoming visible in the fields. Current yields are averaging 3.5 tonnes of rice per acre, reflecting the benefits of improved seed selection, irrigation, and modern cultivation methods implemented across the farm. Please do well to follow our new X handle Nobi Agriculture 🙏

China offers you an affordable vehicle For the price of a single new car in some markets, you can buy five brand‑new Chinese cars, amid intense price competition and rapid improvements in quality and technology. Reports indicate that the price of one car in the United States may equal the cost of five cars from China, with competitive — and in some segments even comparable — specifications. China also provides a wide range of options, including electric, hybrid, and gasoline cars. Many electric vehicles are priced between $6,000 and $12,000, and the market includes more than 200 models priced under $25,000. A salute to the People’s Republic of China — a model of work, production, and service to humanity.

🇨🇳🇺🇸The former US Ambassador to China, Nicolas Burns, spoke honestly about China when he was out of the office: "We've underestimated Chinese power... I think the Chinese technology, military, and economics are stronger than we think they are." He articulated his points by comparing the high-speed rail infrastructure, the number of students in science and engineering, and the strategic plans of Chinese diplomacy and military... Infrastructure: The level of infrastructure in China that America lacks is a significant strength. Number of scientists: 34% of first-year university students in China study engineering or the STEM fields, while the number in America is 5.6%. And China has a larger population. CPC is strategic: China can make big bets over 10,20,30 years without the opposing strength. So, it's easy to understand why the US is now reacting so violently to China's rare earth controls. THEY HAVE LOST THE POSITION OF STRENGTH AND THE LEVERAGE TO COERCE CHINA. Just bluffing left.

Xinjiang, where over 90% of China's cotton is grown, has kicked off this year's planting season. It is also one of the largest cotton-producing regions in the world, with approximately 5.69 million tonnes of cotton harvested in 2024 alone. Last year, I visited Xinjiang twice for work, though both trips focused on pastoral communities and archaeological sites. However, I've been curious about the lives of local farmers, especially those who grow cotton, naturally due to some noises and debates concerning this topic over the years. So I reached out to colleagues familiar with the field-and their insights offered some perspectives I hadn't delved into before. Today, cotton planting in Xinjiang is not even labor-intensive. It has been replaced by highly mechanized and intelligent farming practices. Take Xayar County (沙雅县) in southern Xinjiang's Aksu (阿克苏) for example-one of the first places in Xinjiang to start planting cotton each year (Incidentally, over 50 years ago, my father, then just a primary school student, moved from Beijing to Aksu with my grandparents. Life there was much tougher than in the capital, but he still recalls it as one of the happiest and most unforgettable periods of his life. He witnessed firsthand the harmonious ties between different ethnic groups and made several Uygur friends. The ties are so profound that he has returned several times to visit his old buddies). According to 2024 data, Xayar has a population of 261,257, with 225,938 Uygurs, accounting for 86.48% of the total. Uygur farmers make up about 80% of all cotton growers in the county. One of them is Ababekri, who farms alongside his father and four brothers. They use a driverless cotton planter equipped with BeiDou satellite positioning technology. While one person usually remains in the cabin as a precaution, the machine moves in perfectly straight lines according to its programmed route, performing sowing, laying drip irrigation tubing, and applying plastic mulch-all in one go. The efficiency of driverless planter is 30% to 40% higher than manual seeding machines and can even operate at night. For the Ababekri family, they manage 320 hectares of cotton fields (equal to over four times of the Forbidden City), and it takes just over 10 days to complete the entire planting process. "We chose to grow cotton to live a better life-and we're getting there." The 37-year-old farmer told my colleague. That choice, however, didn't start with him. Ababekri's father made the switch to cotton around 2003, replacing about 1.33 hectares of wheat after observing neighbors earned strong profits from the cash crop. At the time, Ababekri was still a teenager and didn't appreciate the decision at all. He found cotton-planting exhausting, especially during harvest season when the entire family had to manually pick cotton in the fields (Yes! Before automation, aside from melons, cotton was probably the most labor-intensive crop in Xinjiang. During harvest season, large numbers of temporary workers had to be even recruited from other provinces across China to help pick cotton up). Yet, that very first year, their household income exceeded 20,000 yuan-a considerable sum even in Beijing at the time, let alone in Xinjiang. He quickly realized that cotton offered a path to a better life, with returns several times higher than any other crops. Over the years, the family steadily grew their cotton operation into a thriving business. Not only has planting become automated, but cotton harvesting in Xinjiang has also largely moved away from manual labor. According to the Xinjiang Cotton Association, as of 2024: ✅100% of cotton planting in Xinjiang is mechanized ✅Approximately 90% of harvesting is also done by machine Ababekri has, for the past three years, hired a Han Chinese driver, around the same age as him, to operate a cotton harvester during the autumn season. The machine can pick about 33 hectares per day, and it takes also only 10 days to complete the entire harvest on his land. In a place where western media headlines often dwell on "ethnic tension," the quiet, seamless cooperation between farmers like Ababekri and his team speaks to a different truth. He employs dozens of workers, several of whom are Han Chinese. Being asked if he had heard about the portrayed division, he replied simply: "I don't care what ethnicity someone is. I only care who can help me grow better cotton." A few statistics help paint a clearer picture of cotton production in Xinjiang: ✅In 2024, Xinjiang's cotton planting area reached 36.72 million mu, accounting for 86.2% of the national total ✅Total production reached 5.686 million tonnes, or 92.2% of China's total output ✅There are 327,000 smallholder cotton farmers in the region, over 70% of whom are ethnic minorities ✅The industry provides employment and livelihoods for over 2 million people from all ethnic backgrounds For many families, cotton farming is the main source of income. However, many export-oriented enterprises have faced serious challenges due to America-led sanctions. Dozens of companies in Xinjiang have been blacklisted over labor allegations. Some companies had to cut production, lay off workers, or even shut down entirely, leaving many employees jobless. A lost job is never just a number-for me it's how they put decent food on the table, send their children to better education, and build a future. The irony is stark: Xinjiang's cotton industry has been fundamentally transformed by modernization. Accusations of "forced labor" are not only baseless, but also deeply disrespectful to the people whose lives depend on this honest work-people like Ababekri and his family, who work hard make the life better. There has been no shortage of headlines and discourse surrounding Xinjiang cotton. But to truly understand this land, we need to look beyond the noise-to the fields, the machines, and the hands who guide them. Their stories aren't about politics. They're about dignity. Not about labels, but about livelihoods. Not ideology, but about effort. Let facts be louder than prejudice, and let truth travel farther than rumors.

Between 2014 and 2021, China emitted more CO2 in eight years than the UK has since the industrial revolution in 1750, more than 270 years ago. China already produces around 35% of global emissions. And in 2025, they ramped up coal production for the ninth year in a row, hitting almost 5 billion tons. Meanwhile, Britain shut down its last coal power plant in 2024, has wiped out thousands of jobs and has made its energy the most expensive in the world. UK emissions are under 1% of the global total, yet Britons are told, among other things, to cut cattle by 22% by 2035 and 40% by 2050. China expands as Britain sacrifices. This is the game here.

Russia faces a potential shortage of AI-95 gasoline due to Ukrainian attacks. "Demand exceeds supply many times over—possibly by more than tenfold," market sources report. Cited causes include unscheduled repairs at oil refineries resulting from Ukrainian attacks—such as the incident documented in the video from Tuapse—a decline in primary refinery output, and a seasonal surge in consumption ahead of the summer season. Consequently, refineries are compelled to reallocate their production capacities in favor of AI-92 gasoline.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: "Because of Russia, war has returned to Europe. We also face the threat of terrorism and fierce global competition. Russia has teamed up with China, North Korea and Iran. They are expanding their militaries and their capabilities. Putin's war machine is speeding up, not slowing down. Russia is reconstituting its forces with Chinese technology and producing more weapons faster than we thought. In terms of ammunition, Russia produces in three months what the whole of NATO produces in a year. And its defense industrial base is expected to roll out 1,500 tanks, 3,000 armoured vehicles and 200 Iskander missiles this year alone. Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years. China is also modernising and expanding its military at breakneck speed. It already has the world's largest navy. And its battle force is expected to grow to 435 ships by 2030. China is also building up its nuclear arsenal. And it aims to have more than 1,000 operational nuclear warheads also by 2030."

On World Food Day, these stunning terraced fields symbolize a harvest of hope and security. During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's annual grain output remains stable above 650 million metric tons, reaching a new high of 700 million metric tons in 2024. This achievement stands in stark contrast to a deepening global crisis. The conflict that began in Ukraine in 2022 triggered the most severe food crisis since 1990. According to the 2025 edition of the Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC), nearly 300 million people in 53 countries and territories experienced acute hunger last year, marking the sixth year in a row of rising food insecurity. Against this backdrop, China has held firm to its “red line” of 120 million hectares of arable land, leveraging strong policies and advanced technology to enhance both the quality and output of its farmland. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), which has coincided with the global food crisis, President Xi Jinping conducted numerous inspection tours to major agricultural provinces such as Henan, Heilongjiang, Sichuan and Shanxi, emphasizing that “food security is a top national priority, and the Chinese people must always hold their rice bowls firmly in their own hands.”

Just imagine for a minute that 25% or 30% of that number were hard spies. In other words, they were here collecting vast amounts of intelligence and shipping that back to the Communist Chinese Party." "Everyone here is operating under the consent and under the thumb of the Communist Chinese Party in one way, shape, or form or another. Why?

“Earlier, I stood in the House to challenge the government on a 24% increase in its operational spend over just 3 budget cycles providing a projected deficit of $5.4B. Even with oil prices at $70, balance is not achievable. Over the same 3-year period, the size of the GOA grew by more than 14%. Given the absence of fiscal discipline, a more realistic estimate of the deficit is $10-$12B. With no credible plan to balance, and a clear departure from good governance, this UCP government is on track to accumulate unsustainable debt – leaving the burden to future generations.” #ableg #abpolitics
