I learned on #rednote that Chinese people are in the same predicament as Americans. They work 10 hour days 5 days a week. There's so much pressure put on them by parents and society to "succeed", that it's more accepted for someone to commit suicide than to drop out of school. 900 MILLION Chinese suffer from mental health issues! This is unacceptable and The CCP should be ashamed! Mental health is rarely talked about in #China as well: it's stigmatized. #xiaohongshu

The Taiwanese language doesn’t sound like Mandarin Chinese. “[It] originates deep from the belly, creating rumbling sonorous tones that remind me of my dad’s laughter or my mom calling me for dinner, ‘ki jia buan!’” writes Josephine Lee for @TexasObserver. She explains the wave of migration from Taiwan to Houston, Texas, in the 1970s and ‘80s, why it’s difficult to quantify how many Taiwanese people are in America, and how organizations are supporting Taiwan’s independence.

COP29 ended with a last-minute deal struck that will have rich countries pay $300 billion to developing nations by 2035. Will that be enough to allow the developing world to cover expenses related to the damaging effects of climate change? “It’s a paltry sum,” India’s delegate Chandni Raina said. @BBCNews has 5 takeaways from the summit, including more on the bitter divisions that remain after the deal, negotiations to “Trump-proof” the climate, and more: https://flip.it/H2Jdu1

Scientists have extracted and sequenced DNA from a piece of 3,600-year-old cheese found in Bronze Age graves in what is now northwest China. The cheese, the oldest in the archaeological record, was preserved in the Taklamakan Desert’s dry conditions along with the mummified occupants of the graves. The DNA analysis revealed how the Xiaohe harnessed microbes to improve their food. Read more from CNN.

New evidence points to Wuhan market as source of COVID-19 outbreak.

From New Scientist: "A new study by an international team concludes it is more likely that the virus emerged from wild animals sold at the market and not from a lab escape. The researchers re-analysed data from 800 samples collected at the Huanan market by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention beginning on 1 January 2020, and also studied viral genomes from the earliest COVID-19 cases."

The U.S. has led on nuclear fusion research for decades. Now China is in position to win the race, CNN reports.

"Many countries have achieved fusion reactions, but sustaining them for long enough to use in the real world remains elusive."

To reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change, some governments and companies have been investing in the electrification of both public transport and private vehicles. China has taken note with the introduction of electric buses. Despite its predicted advantages for reducing carbon emissions, transitioning from fuel-based to electric public transport could put a significant strain on electricity grids.

The winner in China’s panda diplomacy: the pandas themselves.

AP reports: "Decades after Beijing began working with zoos in the U.S. and Europe to protect the species, the number of giant pandas in the wild has risen to 1,900, up from about 1,100 in the 1980s, and they are no longer considered 'at risk' of extinction but have been given the safer status of 'vulnerable.'"
