🇹🇼🇨🇳 Taiwan pulled out a WATER CANNON when a Chinese fishing boat refused to leave its waters. After three warnings, the boat got the cold blast. But it lost power when it finally tried to depart. So Taiwanese sailors provided 35 hot meals and a free overnight tow to a waiting Chinese vessel instead of leaving them stranded. Maybe “kill ‘em with kindness” is the best diplomacy to deal with an unruly neighbor... Source: The Taiwan News / Writer: Marie

China is turning bamboo into a serious alternative to plastic, combining environmental innovation with industrial expansion. With a $75 billion bamboo industry, more than 15,000 products and nearly 29 million jobs, Beijing is transforming a natural resource into an industrial opportunity. Biodegradable bags and tableware that can break down in 4–6 months are part of this shift. While much of the world struggles to reduce plastic waste, China is building an industry around replacing it, creating new markets, supporting rural economies and reducing dependence on conventional plastics.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Elon: America needs a lot more power, and China is already miles ahead “We need a lot of power. Scaling energy, I think is one of the biggest things. I think we're winning on software, and on anything intellectual or digital, but in the long run we need to be able to generate enough power to compete with [China.]" For Elon, the stakes are enormous: AI, EVs, robotics and space all depend on abundant energy, and he says China already produces about 3x as much electricity as the U.S. It's time for America to pick up the pace.

The reason is not special effects, but a city built on complex mountainous terrain, where trains, roads, bridges, and buildings overlap at different levels. Here, engineering becomes a stunning visual experience: what looks chaotic to the eye is actually a smart way to use every meter of the city.
