Cranberry Township, PA, August 29, 2024 – Westinghouse Electric Company congratulates China’s State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) and China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) for receiving approval from China’s State Council to add four AP1000® technology-based plants to their growing...

Hello, I'm Janet from China. I'm new here. I'm glad to join this community.:smile:

I've been importing this material from China for years. However, shipping is getting more and more expensive, slow and unreliable. It would be a great to have a local manufacturer/supplier but I don't even know what it is. It is advertised as "imitation gold leaf" but... Imitation gold leaf from...

I think so. What do you think?

It looks like backlash against China's ZERO COVID policy is finally causing its end. The upside is they succeeded in delaying mass infection until (presumably) everyone was vaccinated. The downside is now they're getting the organic mass infections they'd been largely able to prevent until...

On Monday, 3/21 a China Eastern Airlines 737-800 crashed, killing 132 people. What is unusual about this crash is that it happened from the cruise phase of flight. This is usually the safest phase, as the plane is flying straight and level most of the time and nothing is changing so there...

I'm in a tough spot right now, and would appreciate learning about my options. I'm fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, and reasonably good for travel options to most western countries for business trips now (modulo the Delta variant surge and its restrictions). I really need to travel...

I firmly believe China should give financial reparations to the world for creating and spreading Corona virus.

China says its navy is taking the lead in game-changing electromagnetic railguns Rest of the article is on the site. The news is available on multiple news outlets, including pictures on Twitter. I recall the US Navy was developing a railgun a few years ago, while Russia was still in the R&D...

Hello, To ensconce this question properly, we know that some of the major contributions to the discipline of rigid body and classical particle dynamics came from: Newton, Euler, Hamilton, Lagrange and so on... (no need to suggest other western names right now - I am aware of them). However I...

Hi guys. I've recently seen a documentary that spoke about how toxic are toys which are made in China and sold in local shop. It' a great problem because they contains an amount of plastics that do not respect European standard ( in my case) but I suppose also USA standards. They have a terrible...

It goes without question that the top schools of most countries are pretty good, but how do we compare the average and bad universities from different countries? I often hear (especially on this forum) that bad and average universities in the US (and the west in general) are usually still...

I came across this article, thought it was worth mentioning. http://www.nature.com/news/crispr-gene-editing-tested-in-a-person-for-the-first-time-1.20988 A Chinese group has become the first to inject a person with cells that contain genes edited using the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 technique...

Here is an interesting item I would like to share. It seems that China has drastically pushed the boundaries of power transmission grid operations. They boldly go where no man has gone before. :wink: How and why? The combination of geography and demographics leads them to place large...

China launched five small satellites Thursday, including the X-ray Pulsar Navigation satellite that eventually could help spacecraft headed for deep space navigate, the latest piece of China’s ambitious space program, NASA Spaceflight.com reported. The X-ray pulsar, developed by Aerospace...

China has successfully launched the world's first quantum-enabled satellite, state media said. It was carried on a rocket which blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China's north west early on Tuesday. The satellite is named after the ancient Chinese scientist and...

Taiwan, Chinese presidents to meet for first time since '49 http://news.yahoo.com/taiwan-chinese-presidents-meet-first-time-since-49-062130105.html Let's see where this goes. Good time for China to recognize Taiwan as a separate nation - a situation like Great Britain and the US, or US and...

Hi everyone I'm a Chinese American and I love doing science. I've been learning Chinese to reconnect with my original culture but I'm wondering if Mainland China is also a good place to do scientific research right now too. Specifically I'm interested in the field of bio-energy and stuff.

I'm a nuclear physicist. 25 years experience in the Canadian nuclear power industry. I met somebody who lives in Shenzhen, China. For those not geographically oriented, that is the city immediately to the north of Hong Kong. Problem is, I live in Canada. And I do not speak any sort of Chinese...

hi all! I am Teng from China, a PhD candidate interested in mechanics and solid physics.

It was asked a few years ago - When will China overtake the U.S, economically? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/when-will-china-overtake-the-u-s-economically.528114/ Well by one measure - now. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/official-america-now-no-2-150936444.html As was pointed out...

Why didn't Chinese comminists attacked and occupied the Formoza island after they had conquered the China mainland? Formal name of Taiwan is Republic of China, but it is strange that everbody understand big China from Republic of China. If formal name Republic of China is Taiwan informal? I know...

I just received an acceptance letter from the Nanjing University of Aeronatics and Astronautics in China. They accepted me for their Bachelors in Aeronautical Engineering programme which is taught in English. However, I neither know anything about China nor the university. My first preference...

I'm not sure how many of you watch a show on Adult Swim called China IL but I have a question about it. The school wins the math competition and to celebrate they go out and destroy the town. Towards the end of the video someone spray paints an equation that is equal to anarchy and I'm not...

or vice versa? does the language barrier impede the exchange of knowledge?

When we think about first world nations and world leaders in politics, ethics, economics, and science, we think of Western nations that are built on democracy, human rights, and freedom. But now we are facing a new situation where the prospective new world leader will spread its influence while...

Is this what the world really needs right now. China with thousands of military drones? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/china-drone-program_n_3207392.html

Another earthquake. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57580556/quake-in-china-may-have-killed-scores/

Seems to be a real thing. http://blog.chron.com/sciguy/2011/07/china-at-work-on-finding-the-iq-genes-and-then-what/ This research is certainly interesting. I think it's about time someone started doing this kind of work. Personally, I think finding the "ingredients" for intelligence is...

I find it surprising that China has found a way to measure intelligence! Let's kill all diversity and raise a new generation that are good at taking IQ tests.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-20322288 No surprise there. But, Xi Jinping doesn't seem to have as much power as the last leader.

The trade balance between EU and China is -156.3€ billions, yet today EU agreed with China (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/09/20/uk-eu-china-summit-idUKBRE88J0QR20120920) to avoid trade protectionist measures. They keep doing this because China keeps buying EU countries' bonds and has many...

Like the title, has another cold war begun between China and U.S.. There are some indications and developments or Am I stating the obvious ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16423881 Appreciate comments and discussion on the topic.

You be the judge... Georgia's hottest export: Chopsticks!

What are these? http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/11/china-gigantic/?mbid=ob_ppc_dangerroom This must be a driving training ground. What's strange is the way the lines are cut. Some of the curves are highly acute, yet the points are carefully constructed, not all the way a bulldozer...

Hello. Yangman here. I come here write an advice. Do not study digital field in EE. Every day I meet some digital circuit chump who call himself engineer because he understand AND NOR NAND NOR and verilog. Just because you can make LED blink on Arduino do not make you real engineer. I give...

Link to news article: http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/overseas-jobs-come-home-26850542.html Out of an estimated 4.5 million jobs lost to China over the last few decades, upwards of 3 million are returning to the U.S. Cited factors include rapidly-rising Chinese wages, American...

What are the estimates when this will roughly happen? Are countries preparing for this transition? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-06/osama-bin-laden-fulfilled-his-one-true-ambition-noah-feldman.html" article prompted this question. And the recession. One thing that makes me cringe...

Does this worry anyone? Relationships with China seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on.

I got this from a friend over the internet...is this design practical or just some virtual design?
