China
Beijing is the cultural and political heart of China, as well as a testament to its rich history and stunning architecture.
After Milan, the Italian architectural firm Stefano Boeri is building a vertical forest in Asia, more precisely in the city of Nanjing in China. It is a duo of skyscrapers that brings a touch of forest to the concrete jungle and will offer a green and healthy oasis in the middle of a polluted city. The towers will also have a system for harnessing solar energy.

China has been suffocating in smog again for the past few weeks. There are alarming conditions in many cities, as pollution with PM2.5 particles (these are even smaller and even more dangerous than PM10 particles, which they warn against in our country, as they penetrate even further into the lungs) exceeds the standards by 50 times. Due to the catastrophic pollution, the Chinese authorities ordered the cessation or operating restrictions at hundreds of factories across the country. From Beijing and elsewhere come eerie footage of cities shrouded in thick, gray and smelly fog.
It probably doesn't need to be emphasized that Asians impress us every now and then with innovative solutions. Regardless, they stunned the world with their latest idea. Cockroaches were called to help.
The Chinese are known for copying and mass counterfeiting. In China, we find counterfeits of well-known brands in the field of mobile technology, computer equipment, clothing, footwear, cars, fake shops and even European villages (Hallstatt), and now we can add a Hollywood movie to the list. Since Mad Max: Fury Road was not released in China due to quota rules, the Chinese filmmakers made their own version, which is a complete copy of Mad Max: Fury Road, with the difference that in China Mad Max, which is titled Mad Shelia, Max is played by a female Xi Liya. Shelia is a general Chinese term for a woman. Hollywood will be furious to see this…
Living between four walls was clearly too much for some.
Chances are your next smartphone will be Chinese. Below we will give you quite a few good reasons for this. True, the label "Made in China" has a bad reputation, as it is synonymous with cheap "goods", and if anything, the Chinese have always been competitive on price. But we had to pay a high price for this: poor quality. That is now changing, at least in the realm of smartphones that are spitting against the tide. After years of just copying, they have now turned to innovation, and the result is smartphones that justifiably make the competition's pants shake. The Chinese have started their march into the mobile market and it seems that nothing can stop them, not even the patent offices.
Wong Kar Wai's long-awaited epic finds inspiration in the life and times of legendary kung fu master and Bruce Lee's mentor, Ip Man.
The Chinese have a clear message for the Aliens. "You can run, but you can't hide!" In the Chinese province of Guizhou, a 500-meter spherical radio telescope recently began operating, taking over the status of the largest from the Arecibo observatory in Puerto Rico. It will survey as much as twice the area of the sky, and the parabolic dish will be used to study the universe and search for intelligent life outside our galaxy, and astronomers hope that it will also fill the gaps in the knowledge and understanding of our planet.
With the development of its models, the American manufacturer of electric cars Tesla almost forced other competitors to start developing electric sedans, SUVs and luxury sports cars. The picture is different in China, where Tesla's influence has been noticeably overshadowed by domestic electric vehicle manufacturers.
