Tesla s sales in the Chinese mainland dropped by more than 27 percent in April from March as the world s leading electric vehicle (EV) maker was embroiled in a product quality spat in the market, after a protest by several Tesla car users at the site of a recent Shanghai auto show.
The US-based electric carmaker sold 25,845 EVs in April, down 27.15 percent from March s 35,478 vehicles, according to data released by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) on Tuesday. The April sales figure was still higher than the sales of 15,484 cars in January and 18,318 in February.

The bombshell paper stresses these biological and genetic weapons will be “the core weapon for victory” if China gets into a major conflict with any country or countries, even outlining the perfect conditions to release a bioweapon, and documenting the impact it would have on “the enemy’s medical system.”
The authors of the document insist that in case of a Third World War, China will completely rely on biological weapons, unlike the first two wars that were described as chemical and nuclear wars, respectively. The document further highlights that in the case of World War III China will look for the right opportunity to release a biological weapon so that it can cause maximum damage.
Two-Luminogen Hydrogel Chemosensor Detects Seafood Freshness by Changing Color

A team of researchers from Germany and China has developed a novel artificial color-changing material that imitates the skin of a chameleon, through luminogens (molecules that cause crystals to glow) arranged into different core and shell layers of hydrogels rather than a single uniform matrix.
This image shows the color change of the “chameleon skin” hydrogel-based chemosensor in response to biogenic volatile amine vapors, which are a well-known indicator of fish and shrimp spoilage. Image Credit: Lu et al./Cell Reports Physical Science.

The older generation in Indonesia is mostly familiar with the saying Seek knowledge, even if it takes you as far as China.
However, Henry Heru, 33, was not aware of it when he traveled to the country to spend two years studying Mandarin at Hebei Normal University in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province.
China is attracting rising numbers of overseas students to further their education in different fields of study.
