China Successfully Tests Hyperloop-like Train Inside A Vacuum Tube
{ Suck It, Elon Musk. }China claims to have become the first country in the world to successfully carry out tests on a Hyperloop-style, magnetically levitated train inside a vacuum tube — or "vactrain" for short — according to a report from state-run newspaper China Daily.
Researchers tested the train along a roughly 1.25-mile track in the province of Shanxi in northern China. During the test, it reached speeds of up to 80 mph inside a "low vacuum tube," according to the report.The team is only getting started. The goal is to eventually construct a full-scale, 37-mile test track and have trains reach speeds of up to 621 mph.

Protests erupt across China in unprecedented challenge to Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policy.
Protests erupted across China on Saturday, including at universities and in Shanghai where hundreds chanted “Step down, Xi Jinping! Step down, Communist Party!” in an unprecedented show of defiance against the country’s stringent and increasingly costly zero-Covid policy.

I am a bit worried that the Chinese government is launching a military action of some kind to distract the citizens from the internal problems.
- They'll just have to quarantine the soldiers for three weeks each time they enter and leave the country.yuekit

New tobacco plant produces cocaine inside its leaves in bizarre breakthrough
A new genetically modified tobacco plant is able to produce cocaine inside its leaves in a bizarre new breakthrough.Cocaine is naturally produced in the leaves of the Erythroxylum coca plant, but a team of researchers at the Kunming Institute of Botany in China decided to see if they could recreate this process themselves – with incredible results.
