A GALLERY OF 35 ANTI-U.S. CHINESE POLITICAL CARTOONS (circa 1958-1960)

by karlcow

Presenting A GALLERY OF 35 ANTI-U.S. CHINESE POLITICAL CARTOONS (circa 1958-1960) Culled and restored from reviewing hundreds of Eastern newspaper pages and illustrations, this set of 35 images represents what we consider the best late 50s editorial cartoons (Manhua) from China and Indochina. Set during a time of escalating western imperialism, these images react against U.S. military actions in Laos and Vietnam, and represent a unique moment of political commentary. It seems to be a hidden history, too. It's with some pride that we indicate most of these comics have never before been re-published, and even fewer have ever been exhibited or documented for U.S. audiences. Enjoy - Ethan

Green Univers: La Chine, fantastique marché du chauffe-eau solaire

by camel
Moins médiatique que les cellules photovoltaïques, mais plus efficace et bien plus répandu, le chauffe-eau solaire est devenu un phénomène massif en Chine, pays qui domine le marché mondial tant en consommation qu’en production et en exportations de chauffe-eau bon marché. Plus de 200 millions de Chinois disposent déjà d’un chauffe-eau solaire, un nombre qui a été multiplié par 6 depuis 2001, grâce à un prix des appareils inférieur à 200 dollars, grosso modo équivalent à celui d’un chauffe-eau électrique – mais sans facture d’électricité à payer ensuite.

by karlcow

Meanwhile, concern is growing over a number of new lakes formed by the force of the earthquake. Thirty-four lakes were created in the province when landslides blocked rivers, Xinhua news agency said. Eight held more than 3 million cubic metres of water and one lake, less than 3km (two miles) from Beichuan town, had doubled in size in four days. Officials are monitoring the lakes and have sent experts to assess them, the agency said. Forecasters predict heavy rain in the region next week, which could further raise the water levels in the lakes.
