The Cuban Communist Party joined the official “Energy Alliance” of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) this week – an extension of the Chinese global infrastructure program focused on developing energy infrastructure globally. Cuban Energy and Mining Minister Livan Arronte Cruz announced the new collaboration with China on Monday, claiming the focus of Cuba’s participation in the program would be on advanced renewable energies. Cuban ambassador to China, Carlos Miguel Pereira, said Havana and Beijing shared the goal of “amplifying and diversifying energy cooperation and collectively overcoming challenges [of] global energy development.” Cuba, once the most developed and wealthiest country in Latin America, is now among the poorest due to 60 years of communist rule. Under the currently ruling Castro dynasty, Cubans regularly endure energy blackouts prompted by communist mismanagement and poor upkeep of power plants and other key infrastructure. Blackouts have intensified in recent … [Read more...] about Cuba Signs Belt and Road Energy Pact with China

Kenyan authorities are seeking the deportation of four Chinese railway workers for a gang beating of a Kenyan engineer inspecting a project site under their supervision, local media reported this weekend. The attack is the latest in a series of violent and sometimes racist incidents attributed to Chinese nationals working abroad, which have grown in number as Communist Party leader Xi Jinping expands the scope of his Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI is a global project intended to grant China full control of the world’s major roads, ports, and railways by investing in local transportation and indebting the domestic government. Kenya has become an especially embarrassing stop on the Belt and Road, home to what Kenyan workers say is an “apartheid” worker system and myriad expensive infrastructure projects local media complain are rife with corruption. Engineer Rodgers Imasa visited a rail project site managed by the China Railway No 5 Construction Company last week to … [Read more...] about Chinese Assault Kenyan Engineer for Noting Use of Low Quality Materials

Tseten Sherpa, a 9-year-old boy from Nepal, plans to break a world record by becoming the youngest person to scale Mount Everest, the tallest mountain above sea level. But the 29,035-foot summit (8850 meters) might not be his biggest challenge: scaling the mountain's peak comes with a hefty price tag. Why does it cost so much to climb a mountain? "The permit is issued per expedition , with about seven to ten people on each permit," said Dennis Broadwell, owner of Mountain Gurus, a company that offers guided mountain treks to Mount Everest. "That way, the price comes out to $10,000 a person." [Got a question? Send us an email and we'll look for an expert who can crack it.] If a mountaineer wants to buy a permit only for themselves, the price is $25,000. Money collected by the Nepalese government for the permit goes towards ensuring that Mount Everest is kept pristine, as it is considered holy by the local villagers. Last April, a team of 20 Sherpa climbers … [Read more...] about Why Does a Permit to Climb Mount Everest Cost $70,000?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov demanded “effective financial humanitarian support” from the international community for the brutal Taliban regime in remarks on Wednesday. Russia hosted an international conference on Afghanistan that day that included the Taliban as an invited guest. The conference in Moscow included Pakistan, China, Iran, India, and the former Soviet Union states in Central Asia, but not the United States. The Biden State Department on Monday applauded Russia’s “Troika-plus” meetings as an “effective” and “constructive forum,” but said it could not participate in this week’s Moscow summit because it was “logistically difficult” to attend. The State Department did not explain why getting to Moscow is suddenly an insurmountable logistical challenge, having attended a similar conference held in Moscow in March.
