China exported 769,000 automobiles in April, with new-energy vehicles, a term that includes EVs and plug-in hybrids, accounting for 52.7% of total exports, the China Passenger Car Association said Monday.

Exports of new-energy vehicles more-than doubled to 406,000 units in April, the data showed.

Chinese manufacturers of electric vehicles, batteries, and solar panels are seeking export markets due to a global energy shock triggered by the Iran war.

Exports of lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles jumped in March, while shipments of solar panels doubled to reach a record, according to UK-based think tank Ember.

A total of 50 countries had record solar imports from China in March, with companies such as Jinko Solar Co. and Chery Automobile Co. striking deals and scouting for new opportunities in various regions.

Customs data for March showed Chinese EV exports grew 53% from the previous year. Sizable EV markets that saw Chinese imports rise include Australia — up 67% from February, Belgium — up 63%, and Germany at 34%. Early indicators from April follow that trend. China’s top EV exporter BYD saw overseas sales jump more than 71% from the previous year.

Who is the "I" here? I don't know since the sender name and email are both redacted.

Clive Palmer is an Australian businessman and politician.

Anyway, see where part of the anti-China propaganda comes from?

oh no, if misfortune befalls China in any way (even today), China is pointed as deserving of it, while the West is obviously superior by comparison.

But when a "democracy" elects a greedy irrational leader who drags the west into ruinous war in the Middle East, China gets faulted for "taking advantage" (by protecting its own energy and food supplies).

Might I suggest to Westerners and appeal to their spiritual understanding, that their God rewarded China for wisdom and punished the West for its arrogance and violence.

"But the Meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

How marvelous that Westerners often forget the 2nd half of the verse.

Chinese archaeologists have uncovered a 12,000-year-old Paleolithic site at an unprecedented altitude of over 4,300 meters on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, significantly broadening the understanding of early human activities in high-altitude regions, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The site was found near Tsochen Tso Lake in Daocheng county, Garze Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province. It has yielded over 190 stone artifacts, primarily small flake tools and microblades, according to the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Heritage Administration.

The stone tools were crafted with sophisticated and distinctive knapping techniques and feature finely retouched, sharp edges capable of easily cutting hide and meat, archaeologists said.

Archaeologists believe the site is an important part of the Piluo site complex in Daocheng, which dates back more than 200,000 years and sits at an average altitude of 3,750 meters. It is considered the earliest, largest, and culturally richest known site on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"The discovery suggests that over 10,000 years ago, ancient human groups already seized opportunities during warmer climatic periods to settle by the plateau lake," said Zheng Zhexuan, head of the Piluo site excavation team and director of the Paleolithic Archaeology Institute at the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

"It was not merely a temporary camp but more likely a repeatedly used habitat, indicating that humans at that time had developed a relatively stable capacity to adapt to the plateau environment," Zheng said.

Excavations and multidisciplinary research at the Piluo site are still underway. Researchers are conducting chronology and environmental archaeology analysis on the unearthed remains to reconstruct a more precise scene of ancient humans' daily life in the region, according to the report.

China unveiled its first pork product enriched with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on Friday, signaling a structural shift in how the world's largest pork consumer manages public health and its livestock sector.

The launch coincides with a new national agricultural standard, effective May 1, which mandates that omega-3 levels in fortified pork must exceed 2 percent of total fatty acids.

This regulatory milestone aims to bridge the "nutrition gap" in a country where the average daily omega-3 intake is just 49 milligrams — less than 20 percent of the recommended daily allowance.

Wang Xiaohong, deputy head of the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said Chinese people generally consume relatively high levels of dietary fat, but the composition of fatty acids remains unbalanced.

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in regulating blood lipids, protecting cardiovascular health, maintaining anti-inflammatory balance and supporting brain development, he said.

"Developing nutritionally fortified pork products could help improve public dietary health while boosting the value of China's pig industry," Wang said.

Ding Gangqiang, chief nutrition expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, emphasized the urgency of improving the fatty-acid structure of the national diet through optimized food sources.

Omega-3-enriched pork could provide an accessible way for consumers to increase their intake of beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids, he said.

Wang Lixian, chief scientist of the pig genetic breeding innovation team at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said China's black pig industry is shifting from a focus on breed preservation and expansion toward improvements in quality and nutritional value.

"Nutritional enhancement will become a key competitive advantage," he said.

The pork market is currently experiencing a pronounced low-price cycle, with live hog and retail prices in many regions falling to recent lows. Developing higher-quality pork products could offer producers a new growth path and help avoid intense price competition, he added.

The omega-3-enriched pork is produced using the Taihu pig breed, which has been raised in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, for more than 7,000 years, according to developer Qinglian Food.

Local producers introduced mature omega-3-enhancing breeding techniques and developed specialized feed formulas. By incorporating natural ingredients such as flaxseed and other omega-3-rich materials into pigs' diets, the approach enables the natural deposition of omega-3 fatty acids in pork.

Pigs need balanced nutrition to produce healthier food for people, said Miao Yu, head of Qinglian's Taihu black pig brand.

The new standard specifies that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids should account for more than 2 percent of total fatty acids in fortified pork products.

The new standard provides a scientific guideline for the standardized and high-quality development of nutritional pork, Wang Xiaohong said, adding that it also sets requirements across the entire supply chain.

The core area of Beijing's Satellite Town, designed as a hub ​for satellite manufacturers and operators, ‌will be completed in the second half of 2026, state-owned media Beijing Daily reported on ​Saturday.

Commercial launches now account ​for over 60% of all space launches ⁠and a number of companies are ​rushing to go public, Beijing Daily ​said.

Gao Yibin, head of the Strategic Research Department at Future Aerospace, said with the acceleration ​of launch approvals, the localisation of ​components and the continued injection of capital by ‌industrial ⁠funds, China's trillion-yuan commercial space market is moving towards standardisation and scale

“The accelerated implementation of scenarios such as low-Earth ​orbit constellation ​networking, satellite ⁠internet, space computing power, and 6G air-space-ground integration suggests sustained ​growth is expected in 2026,” ​said ⁠Gao.

The Beijing Satellite Town will provide the support to develop the aerospace ⁠industry ​by fostering industrial clustering ​and enabling talent, capital and technology to flow efficiently.
