"All units should strengthen personnel security education and personnel management during missions to ensure that there is no leakage of secrets."




JOHN BRIDGES: China’s capabilities will no doubt continue to grow.

DEUTSCHE WELLE NEWS: China had kept the military-run space mission secretive and low-key, with no photograph or video footage of the launch and landing made public.



Chen Weihua: The fact that Blinken admitted that China is fast catching up with the US in economy, infrastructure and innovation is an acknowledgement of the US' relative decline.

"The little-known nebula IRAS 05437+2502 billows out among the bright stars and dark dust clouds that surround it in this striking image from the Hubble Space Telescope. It is located in the constellation of Taurus (the Bull), close to the central plane of our Milky Way galaxy. Unlike many of Hubble’s targets, this object has not been studied in detail and its exact nature is unclear. At first glance it appears to be a small, rather isolated, region of star formation and one might assume that the effects of fierce ultraviolet radiation from bright young stars probably were the cause of the eye-catching shapes of the gas. However, the bright boomerang-shaped feature may tell a more dramatic tale. The interaction of a high velocity young star and the cloud of gas and dust may have created this unusually sharp-edged bright arc. Such a reckless star would have been ejected from the distant young cluster where it was born and would travel at 200 000 km/hour or more through the nebula."
LORELAI KUDE: The month of Iyar is associated with Taurus the Bull (aka Shor in Jewish astrology), the planet Venus (Noga), and the Tribe of Issachar.
CHING CHOY YEE: Good luck China. Godspeed.
💘 from Malaysia
ASK THE RABBI: Iyar is Shor/Taurus/Bull corresponding to Issachar (Torah scholars) and the faculty of Thought.

JONNY TICKLE: Russia and China have signed a memorandum agreeing to create an international lunar research station, as Moscow and Beijing look to amalgamate their expertise to further advance space exploration. While Russia has a long history of space exploration, China has only recently begun to make exploring the cosmos one of its priorities.

JEANNE MUCHNICK: The "Jewish tradition" of Chinese food and a movie on Christmas Day is looking more like Netflix and takeout. And while there are some great shows that give you the theater experience (we're partial to "Wonder Woman 1984"), there are just as many Chinese food options meaning you can still enjoy your chicken with broccoli ritual paired with the latest blockbuster.

MICAH HALPERN: For better and for worse, non-Jewish culture encroaches upon us.





JOHN L. ALLEN JUNIOR: Among other things, the vast majority of Americans who’ll cast ballots probably don’t know what the Vatican’s line on China is and couldn’t care less.

MARC SAPERSTEIN: At Harvard Divinity School, I once heard a Chinese professor of religion comment that those who translate the Bible into Chinese have to make a fundamental decision about whether to render the familiar verses by the Chinese equivalents of "Man does not live by bread alone" and "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11), or to render them as "Man does not live by rice alone" and "Give us this day our daily rice." To use the Chinese word for "bread" – which is nonexistent in the Chinese diet – would immediately suggest that the biblical text comes from an alien culture, something that the Chinese may well think of as applying to others, but not directly to them. Substituting the word for "rice" conveys the meaning in a manner that feels much more inclusive, yet it loses the historical setting of the passage.

JOHN L. ALLEN JUNIOR: First, China is home to one~fifth of the total human population, and you can’t purport to be a global force for good while ignoring 20 percent of the globe.

ED CONDON/CNA: Next month, the 2018 Vatican-China deal expires. Those close to the negotiations, both in Rome and in Beijing, now confidently predict a one-year extension to the two-year deal to be agreed.

EVELYN CHENG: From a social perspective, Su expects China to find more ways to boost consumption, including abolishing limits on the number of children families can have.

EVELYN CHENG: The central committee of China’s ruling Communist Party, led by Xi, is set to meet in Beijing from Oct. 26 to 29 to discuss a proposal for national development for the next five years — from 2021 to 2025. Economists predict the country will firmly become the world’s largest economy in the next few years.

JAMES GRIFFITHS: As many countries struggle to plan weeks ahead, China just set its agenda for the next 15 years

ANDREW BROWN: the real fight is not over whether China will become a country with a significant Christian presence, but who will control the burgeoning churches. The Vatican knows this well. I have been told by insiders that the strategic thrust of Pope Francis’s diplomacy is all directed eastwards, towards the emergence of China as a great religious power.


George Browne: But there is a new fraternity of late sprung up who call themselves Jesuits, which will deceive many, who are much after the Scribes and Pharisees’ manner. Among the Jews they shall strive to abolish the truth, and shall come very near to do it. For these sorts will turn themselves into several forms; with the Heathen a Heathenist, with the Atheists an Atheist, with the Jews a Jew, with the Reformers a Reformade, purposely to know your intentions, your minds, your hearts, and your inclinations, and thereby bring you at last to be like the fool that "said in his heart there was no God." These shall spread over the whole world, "shall be admitted into the counsels of Princes, and they never the wiser," charming of them, yea, making your Princes reveal their hearts, and the secrets therein, and yet they not perceive it;
FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA WINERY | GEYSERVILLE, CALIFORNIA
PHILIP JENKINS: it pays to avoid the familiar North Ameri­can labels of liberal and conservative. The Catholic Church always operates on its own particular alignments, which may or may not conform with those of the secular world.

KATHY GILSINAN: So even if China doesn’t give more, it advertises better.

Judah was not tending the flocks with his brothers, the African sons of Bilhah and the European sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he did not bring their Father a bad report about them necessarily.

Tom Fowdy: A market of 1.4 billion, which has not even reached its height in terms of consumption potential, will always hold more clout than a market of 320 million people.

DAVID GOLDMAN: 2020 marked the first year in history that foreign direct investment in China overtook that of the US, according to the UN. China is now the world's largest recipient of foreign companies' investments.
