Moscow accuses Washington of nuclear weapons ‘hypocrisy’
The latest statements from the spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Bikantov, were about the hypocrisy of the United States in its stance on nuclear weapons. According to Bikantov, the United States continues to modernize its nuclear arsenal, despite claiming to seek to reduce its role in world politics and achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.
Bikantov also criticized the United States for its recent test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, which has been seen as a challenge to Russia and a violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

China spent $240bn on belt and road bailouts from 2008 to 2021, study finds
Research found that Chinese state-backed lenders released bailout funds to 22 countries, including Argentina, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Ukraine. Almost 80% of the emergency rescue lending was issued after 2016, reaching more than $40bn in 2021.
The increase in emergency financing since 2016 correlates with a drop in Chinese lending for infrastructure projects that are part of the belt and road initiative. Commitments from China’s two main institutional lenders, China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim), fell from a peak of $87bn in 2016 to $3.7bn in 2021, according to data analysed by Boston University.

China halla una reserva de agua en la Luna de 270.000 millones de toneladas
en los últimos años, varias misiones robóticas y telescopios terrestres han confirmado que la Luna sigue atesorando agua. Y no gotitas, sino toneladas en forma de hielo. Buena parte está en las zonas de sombra perpetua de los polos, donde nunca llega el sol. Y esas regiones inexploradas, en especial las del polo sur, se han convertido en el lugar donde aterrizarán las primeras misiones tripuladas al satélite en más de 50 años. Van allí precisamente porque hay agua, y con ella posible sustento para colonos y materia prima para combustible de cohetes con los que, algún día, llegar hasta a Marte.
