    Torrential rains that pounded South Korea for four consecutive days have left at least nine people dead and several others missing, after downpours triggered deadly landslides in the southern Sancheong County, officials said.

    A person in their 60s was found in cardiac arrest after a landslide, triggered by heavy rain, engulfed homes in a village in Sancheong, South Gyeongsang Province, on Saturday morning.

    In a separate incident, a landslide in another village in Sancheong killed two others in their home, while a deadly mudslide swept through homes in a different village in the county shortly after noon, leaving two people dead and one missing, according to fire authorities.

    Also in Sancheong, another individual was found in cardiac arrest around noon after their home was inundated by rain. Sancheong County issued an alert urging all residents to evacuate to safety, Yonhap News Agency reported.

    In the nearby city of Miryang, also in South Gyeongsang Province, a driver in his 60s was killed after floodwaters swept away his car.

    Authorities said five people were confirmed dead, two were missing, and two others were found in cardiac arrest in the province on Saturday alone, as record rainfall battered the region. Firefighters continued rescue operations to locate those still unaccounted for.

    South Gyeongsang is among the regions hardest hit by the recent downpours, with some areas receiving more than 700 millimetres of rain between Wednesday and Saturday.

    The National Fire Agency issued a nationwide firefighting mobilisation order in response to the landslides.

    So far, central and local government authorities have reported five deaths and four missing persons since the onset of the rain on Wednesday. Four of the five people killed in South Gyeongsang on Saturday were not yet included in the official death toll.

    The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters is expected to release updated figures on casualties and damage assessments later in the day.

    Weather authorities have warned that up to 250 mm of additional rainfall could fall within the day, raising concerns about further damage and casualties.

    Evacuation orders have been issued for 7,029 residents from 4,995 households, with more than 2,800 people still unable to return home.

    The torrential downpours have inundated roads, triggered landslides, and flooded homes across the country. Overnight rainfall remained extreme in many regions.

    Incheon’s Yeongheung Island saw 98.5 mm of rain fall in just one hour, between 12:50 a.m. and 1:50 a.m., while Boseong in South Jeolla Province received 88 mm in the same time frame.

    Some areas have already received over 40 percent of their annual average rainfall in the past four days. Seosan recorded 558.6 mm of rain from Wednesday to Friday morning — equivalent to 45 percent of its yearly average.

    A total of 729 cases of public infrastructure damage have been reported, including 388 flooded roads, 133 landslides, and 57 river facility collapses. Private property damage reached 1,014 cases, including 64 flooded buildings and 59 instances of submerged farmland.

  • MIL-OSI China: Japan, Australia set up title showdown at FIBA Women’s Asia Cup

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Japan upset defending champion China 90-81 in the semifinal at the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup on Saturday.

    Japan will contend for the title with Australia, who held off South Korea 86-73.

    Japan shot an impressive 47.1 percent on 3-pointers. Young point guard Kokoro Tanaka shot 10 of 16 for a game-high 27 points. Yuki Miyazawa added 18 points.

    “That was a game that the players followed the game plan. We had a strategy into this game, they executed it. China countered it, then we changed to another plan. The win was for the players. They really did their job,” said Japan coach Corey Gaines.

    Tanaka, 19, dominated the opening stages, making eight of nine from the floor, including nailing five 3-pointers, for a 21-point first-quarter masterclass, as the score was knotted at 27-27 at the quarter’s end.

    A pair of 3-pointers from Nanako Todo gave Japan an early initiative in the second quarter. China’s twin towers of Han Xu and Zhang Ziyu featured in the game with 4:49 remaining, while Japan set up an eight-point cushion at 49-41 with 2:29 remaining.

    It was where Zhang began to sparkle as the 18-year-old prodigy snatched eight straight points, and Yang Shuyu capped a 10-point run with two free throws that fueled the host to a 51-49 advantage at the break.

    Japan rode on a 10-0 surge midway through the third quarter to gain ground, and carried a 73-65 margin entering the fourth quarter.

    Japan continued its clinical performance from a 3-point range, thwarting China’s every comeback effort to secure the win.

    Three Chinese players cracked double figures in scoring, led by Yang’s 19 points. Han and Zhang chipped in 18 and 17, respectively.

    “The players really wanted to play well, and they tried really hard. Before the game, we set our specific game plan, but when we played the twin towers, we had some mistakes on defense and gave them wide-open 3s, this is what we need to improve,” commented China coach Gong Luming.

    Han echoed Gong, saying, “We made some mistakes on our execution of the game plan. We were asked to guard the 3-point line and not give them open 3s, but we still made some mistakes.”

    Facing South Korea, Isobel Borlase opened with six straight points, sparking a 15-0 run over four minutes that gave Australia a 19-5 lead.

    South Korea responded as Choi I-saem and Heo Ye-eun combined for eight points to keep the game within reach. The first quarter ended with Australia leading 22-13.

    Australia caught fire from beyond the arc as Stephanie Reid and Sara Blicavs hit three consecutive 3-pointers. South Korea, known for its outside shooting, answered with three straight of its own from Choi, Park Ji-hyun and Heo to cut the gap to four.

    South Korea made eight of 15 attempts from long range in the first half, compared to Australia’s 38.5 percent from deep, but Australia still held a narrow 42-38 lead at halftime.

    In the second half, South Korea was limited to just three 3-pointers. Australia broke the game open with a 16-4 run in the third quarter to lead 62-48.

    As South Korea’s shooting cooled down, Australia leaned on its physicality and tempo to push the lead to as many as 15 points with five minutes remaining.

    Heo and Shin Ji-hyun sparked a brief rally with fast-break points, but Australia responded quickly with a series of inside attacks to maintain control.

    Australia dominated the boards with a 45-26 rebounding advantage. Cayla George posted a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds.

    New Zealand capped its campaign in Shenzhen in fifth place with a 78-71 victory over the Philippines.

    Down by 16 points early in the second quarter, the Philippines roared back to life, as Kent Jane Pastrana’s 3-pointer helped Gilas Pilipinas pull level at 48-48 at the 6:02 mark in the third.

    The Philippines went ahead 54-53 on Jack Animam’s free throw, its first lead since the first minute of the game.

    Leading 66-61 three minutes going into the final period, the Philippines could not hold on to it, with the Tall Ferns responding with an 11-0 run to turn the game around.

    “The fact that we could hang together for 40 minutes when a lot wasn’t going our way, but we could stay together and grind out a win, just super proud of how the girls did that today,” New Zealand coach Natalie Hurst remarked.

    Esra McGoldrick had a game-high 17 points for New Zealand.

  • MIL-Evening Report: The first video of Earth’s surface lurching sideways in an earthquake offers new insights into this force of nature

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Jesse Kearse, Postdoctoral Researcher, Geophysics, Kyoto University

    Sai Aung MAIN/AFP via Getty Images

    During the devastating magnitude 7.7 Myanmar earthquake on March 28 this year, a CCTV camera captured the moment the plate boundary moved, providing the first direct visual evidence of plate tectonics in action.

    Tectonic plate boundaries are where chunks of Earth’s crust slide past each other – not smoothly, but in sudden, violent ruptures.

    The footage shows Earth’s surface lurching sideways, like a gigantic conveyor belt switched on for just a second, as the fault slips.

    What we’re seeing is the propagation of a large earthquake rupture – the primary mechanism that accommodates plate boundary motion at Earth’s surface. These shear fractures travel at several kilometres per second, making them notoriously difficult to observe.

    This video explains the moment Myanmar’s Sagaing Fault ruptured in a large earthquake, allowing the tectonic plate boundary to shift. Research: https://doi.org/10.1785/0320250024.

    These rare events, separated by centuries, have shaped our planet’s surface over millions of years, creating features such as Aotearoa New Zealand’s Alpine Fault and the Southern Alps.

    Until now, seismologists have relied on distant seismic instruments to infer how faults rupture during large earthquakes. This video sheds new light on the process that radiates seismic energy and causes the ground to shake.

    Analysis of the video

    In our new study, we analysed the video frame by frame. We used a technique called pixel cross-correlation to reveal that the fault slipped 2.5 metres sideways over a duration of just 1.3 seconds, with a maximum speed of 3.2 metres per second.

    The total sideways movement in this earthquake is typical of strike-slip fault ruptures, which move the land sideways (in contrast to faults that move land up and down).

    But the short duration is a major discovery.

    The timing of when a fault starts and stops slipping is especially difficult to measure from distant recordings, because the seismic signal becomes smeared as it travels through Earth.

    In this case, the short duration of motion reveals a pulse-like rupture – a concentrated burst of slip that propagates along the fault like a ripple travels down a rug when it’s flicked from one end.

    Capturing this kind of detail is fundamental to understanding how earthquakes work, and it helps us better anticipate the ground shaking likely to occur in future large events.

    Validation of the ‘slickenline’ hypothesis

    Our analysis also revealed something more subtle about the way the fault moved.

    We found the slip didn’t follow a straight path. Instead it curved. This subtle curvature mirrors patterns we’ve observed previously at fault outcrops.

    Called “slickenlines”, these geological scratch marks on the fault record the direction of slip.

    Our work shows the slickenlines we see on outcrops are curved in a manner similar to the curvature seen in the CCTV footage. Based on our video analysis, we can be certain that curved slip occurs, giving credence to our interpretations based on geological observations.

    In our earlier research, we used computer models to show that curved slickenlines could emerge naturally when an earthquake propagates in a particular direction. The Myanmar rupture, which is known to have travelled north to south, matches the direction predicted by our models.

    This alignment is important. It gives us confidence in using geological evidence to determine the rupture direction of past earthquakes, such as the curved slickenlines left behind after the New Zealand Alpine Fault’s 1717 earthquake.

    This first glimpse of a fault in motion shows the potential for video to become a powerful new tool in seismology. With more strategic deployments, future earthquakes could be documented with similar detail, offering further insight into the dynamics of fault rupture, potentially revolutionising our understanding of earthquake physics.

    TOKYO, July 20 (Xinhua) — Voting began in Japan on Sunday morning for the upper house (House of Councillors) election, with a total of 522 candidates running in the intense battle between the ruling and opposition camps.

    The House of Councillors consists of 248 members. The term of office of statesmen is 6 years. Every three years, half of the composition of the House is renewed.

    The ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner Komeito currently hold 75 seats that are not up for re-election. They need to win 50 seats in this election to maintain their majority.

    The bar is seen as relatively low for the ruling bloc, which controlled the upper house of parliament before the election, although Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who faces low public support amid serious problems such as rising prices and high US tariffs, has called it a tall order.

    In the October 2024 general election, the ruling coalition lost its majority in the more powerful House of Representatives (lower house), forcing Mr. Ishiba to form Japan’s first minority government in more than three decades.

    If the ruling coalition fails to maintain a majority in the upper house this time, it will be extremely difficult for S. Ishiba to continue leading his administration, local media report. –0–

  • Clashes rage in Druze region as Syria struggles to enforce ceasefire

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Sectarian clashes escalated on Saturday in Syria’s predominantly Druze region of Sweida, with machine gun fire and mortar shelling heard after days of bloodshed, as the Islamist-led government struggled to enforce a ceasefire.

    Reuters reporters heard gunfire from inside Sweida city and saw shells landing in nearby villages. There were no immediate, confirmed reports of casualties.

    The government had announced that security forces were being deployed to the southern region in an effort to maintain peace and urged all parties to halt fighting after nearly a week of factional violence in which hundreds have been killed.

    Late on Saturday, the interior ministry said clashes in Sweida city had subsided and the area had been cleared of Bedouin tribal fighters following the deployment.

    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, reported that at least 940 people had been killed in clashes around Sweida since last week. Reuters could not independently verify the death toll.

    Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa stated that “Arab and American” mediation had helped restore calm before the latest escalation. He also criticized Israel for conducting airstrikes earlier in the week.

    Violence in Druze Region Challenges Damascus

    The fighting poses a fresh challenge to the authority of Sharaa’s Islamist-dominated government, which assumed power after rebels ousted autocratic President Bashar al-Assad in December.

    The unrest began last week as clashes between the Druze—a religious minority native to southern Syria, the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and parts of Lebanon and Jordan—and Syrian Bedouin tribes. Government forces intervened to defuse tensions but ended up clashing with Druze gunmen and attacking Druze communities.

    Saturday’s violence once again pitted Druze fighters against Bedouin tribesmen, according to eyewitnesses.

    The conflict has drawn in neighboring Israel, which launched airstrikes in southern Syria and on the defense ministry in Damascus while Syrian government forces battled Druze fighters. Israel claims it is acting to protect the Druze, who also form a notable minority in Israel.

    However, Israel and Washington remain divided over Syria. The U.S. supports a centralized Syrian state under Sharaa’s leadership, which has pledged to govern for all citizens. Israel, however, argues that the government is dominated by jihadists and poses a threat to minorities.

    In March, Syrian government forces were implicated in mass killings of members of the Alawite minority, from which much of Assad’s elite hailed.

    Tensions at a Boiling Point

    On Saturday, the Syrian presidency issued a statement announcing an immediate ceasefire and called for an end to hostilities. President Sharaa declared that Syria would not become “a testing ground for partition, secession, or sectarian incitement.”

    He blamed Druze gunmen for the latest outbreak, accusing them of launching revenge attacks against Bedouins.

    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar condemned Sharaa’s remarks, saying he was siding with the attackers. “In al-Sharaa’s Syria, it is very dangerous to be a member of a minority—Kurd, Druze, Alawite, or Christian,” he wrote on X.

    On Friday, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack announced that Syria and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire. Barrack, who serves as both U.S. ambassador to Turkey and Washington’s Syria envoy, called on Druze, Bedouins, Sunnis, and other minority groups to “build a new and united Syrian identity.”

    Israel has repeatedly targeted Syrian military facilities since Assad’s fall, saying it wants southern Syria, particularly areas near its border, to remain demilitarized. On Friday, an Israeli official said Israel had agreed to allow Syrian forces limited access to Sweida for two days.

    Sweida Hospital Overwhelmed

    Mansour Namour, a resident of a village near Sweida city, reported that mortar shells were still falling near his home on Saturday afternoon, with at least 22 people wounded.

    Dr. Omar Obeid, director of a local hospital in Sweida, said the facility was overwhelmed. “The hospital is full of bodies and wounded from the past few days. All the injuries are from bombs—some with chest wounds, others with shrapnel injuries to their limbs,” he said.

  • Japan heads to polls in key test for Prime Minister Ishiba

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Japanese voters could unleash political turmoil as they head to the polls on Sunday in a tightly contested upper house election, with rising prices and immigration concerns threatening to weaken Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s grip on power.

    Opinion polls suggest Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner Komeito may fall short of the 50 seats needed to retain control of the 248-seat upper house of parliament, in an election where half the seats are up for grabs.

    Polls show that smaller opposition parties pushing for tax cuts and increased public spending are set to gain — among them, the right-wing Sanseito, which vows to curb immigration, oppose foreign capital inflows, and reverse gender equality initiatives.

    A poor showing by the coalition could shake investor confidence in the world’s fourth-largest economy and disrupt critical trade talks with the United States, analysts said.

    Ishiba may have to choose between stepping aside for a new LDP leader or scrambling to secure the backing of some opposition parties through policy compromises, said Rintaro Nishimura, an associate at the Asia Group in Japan.

    “Each scenario requires the LDP and Komeito to make certain concessions, and will be challenging, as any potential partner has leverage in the negotiations,” he added.

    After the election, Japan faces a deadline of August 1 to strike a trade deal with the United States or risk punishing tariffs in its largest export market.

    Such import levies could squeeze the economy and further pressure the government to provide financial relief to households already reeling from inflation — including a doubling of rice prices since last year.

    With an eye on a jittery government bond market, the LDP has called for fiscal restraint, rejecting opposition demands for major tax cuts and increased welfare spending to soften the blow.

    Ishiba’s administration lost its majority in the more powerful lower house in October — the LDP’s worst showing in 15 years — roiling financial markets and leaving the prime minister vulnerable to no-confidence motions that could topple his administration and trigger a fresh general election.

    Police said a male driver had been shot while being assaulted by onlookers and was taken to a hospital. His condition remains unknown.

    Ruled by the LDP for most of the post-war period, Japan has so far largely avoided the social divisions and political fracturing seen in other industrialised democracies.

    Voting ends at 8 p.m. (1100 GMT), when media outlets are expected to project results based on exit polls.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    South Korea’s special counsel investigating former President Yoon Suk-yeol’s short-lived martial law imposition on Saturday indicted the ousted leader under detention on additional charges.

    Cho Eun-suk, independent counsel leading the investigation into Yoon’s insurrection and other charges, prosecuted Yoon for abusing power, obstructing justice, writing bogus official documents, violating the presidential records act and committing other wrongdoings.

    Yoon was charged with failing to follow proper procedures for the martial law imposition, ordering the presidential security service to block attempts in January to arrest him and giving order to delete information on security phones offered to military commanders.

    A warrant to detain Yoon, sought by the special counsel team that launched its investigation on June 18, was issued nine days earlier for fear of his destroying evidence.

    Yoon was apprehended in presidential office on Jan. 15 and was indicted under detention on Jan. 26 as a suspected ringleader of insurrection, but he was released on March 8 as prosecutors decided not to appeal against the court’s release approval.

    The constitutional court upheld a motion to impeach Yoon on April 4 over his botched martial law bid last December, officially removing him from office.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Youth to mobilise for severe weather response

    Source: New Zealand Government

    An immediate one-off grant to mobilise and coordinate young people to assist in the response to the severe Nelson Tasman weather events has been provided to the Student Volunteer Army (SVA), Youth Minister James Meager has announced.

    Mr Meager confirmed the $50,000 funding to support youth volunteers aged between 12 and 24, while speaking in Foxhill today.

    “The Student Volunteer Army has a strong track record of rallying the troops at speed to respond to urgent need and has vast experience in crisis response and disaster recovery. I know the work its volunteers will undertake will be of enormous community benefit,” Mr Meager says.

    “Young people are ready and willing to get involved and support communities badly affected by recent flooding events. This region has been hit hard twice in the past fortnight, and these volunteers will offer valuable assistance while taking part in a youth development opportunity.”

    The SVA grant will finance region-wide activities over the next four-to-six weeks. These will be identified from a register of help being sought by individuals, families, and/or communities impacted by severe flooding.

    “Involving students and young people in disaster response and recovery is always a good idea. They’re fit, energetic and like to help. It also provides them the opportunity to learn first-hand about the complex issues extreme weather present,” SVA Founder Sam Johnson says.

    The organisation will incorporate the knowledge and expertise of local community leaders to coordinate, support, and lead volunteer opportunities that young people can safely and appropriately participate in.

    “The youth volunteers that participate will be appropriately supervised and have access to mentoring and guidance to support their learning and development while doing this voluntary work. This represents a great opportunity to grow skills and resilience, while giving back to communities in need,” Mr Meager says.

    “The Student Volunteer Army has already provided assistance to 50 properties so far, with many more in need of a helping hand. We welcome anyone who’d like to volunteer – particularly family groups and retirees,” Mr Johnson says.

    “I want to thank those who have helped enormously with the region’s recovery efforts so far. I encourage all young people who have seen the devastation and want to help to reach out to the organisation.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: HK scientists halt disease using AI

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field is expanding rapidly, yielding significant breakthroughs.

    One example of this is the patented MOZAIC technology developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Microbiota I-Center with funding from InnoHK. This innovative solution combines faecal microbiota transplantation with AI, matching suitable microbiota to patients who have Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).

    Sixty-nine-year-old Chow Yee-mei recalled how she previously suffered with the disease: “I pooped over ten times a day, to the point that I could barely stand. It was not a sharp pain, but an unwell feeling that made you feel an urgent need to go to the toilet. And I was excreting blood. The entire toilet bowl was filled with blood. I cried every day.”

    After seeking treatment from multiple doctors and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on various antibiotics and other medications, without success, she finally recovered when she underwent MOZAIC.

    The procedure involves selecting beneficial bacteria from the stools of healthy donors and injecting them into a patient’s gut via endoscope to rebuild their gut microbiome.

    “I received the treatment at 8 or 9 o’clock in the morning,” said Ms Chow. “By 5 or 6 o’clock in the evening, I had stopped excreting blood. It was miraculous. It has now been over three years without any recurrence.”

    Growing caseload

    Over the past three years, Hong Kong has recorded more than 3,000 cases of CDI annually.

    Microbiota I-Center Co-Director Prof Francis Chan, a gastroenterology and hepatology specialist, highlighted that the elderly, people with chronic illnesses or inflammatory bowel disease, and frequent users of antibiotics are all high-risk groups. Treatment with standard antibiotics is often ineffective, and the recurrence and mortality rates of the disease are as high as 35% and 40%, respectively.

    “Long-term use of high-dose antibiotics wipes out the beneficial bacteria in the gut, allowing Clostridioides difficile to take hold,” Prof Chan said. “With an ageing population and frequent antibiotic use for various infections, this problem is only set to grow.”  

    Microbial matching

    In 2020, the Microbiota I-Center received InnoHK funding to establish one of Asia’s largest stool sample banks at the Hong Kong Science Park. Its samples are from people of all different ages, nationalities and health conditions. The centre’s MOZAIC solution draws on this bank of samples, leveraging AI to match patients with suitable microbiota.

    “We make use of our huge bio-bank, collected over the years in Asia, including our Chinese population,” Prof Chan explained “Then, with the use of AI, we optimise the matching between the donor and the recipient. Therefore, our success rate, in terms of curing CDI, has approached over 90%.”

    The centre has successfully applied this research in both public and private hospitals in Hong Kong, and the MOZAIC service has now been expanded to all Hospital Authority clusters. As of May this year, the authority had performed over 50 treatments, benefiting 48 patients.

    Recently, the centre received a second round of InnoHK funding. This will allow it to operate for another five years and to expand its research into diagnosing autism and dementia through the gut microbiome, in addition to developing new drugs.

     

    Research ecosystem

    InnoHK’s two research clusters comprise 29 laboratories and centres focused on healthcare and AI & robotics technologies. They span collaborations with over 30 leading universities and research institutions worldwide and engage more than 2,500 local and international researchers working across nearly 500 research projects.

    Commissioner for Innovation & Technology Ivan Lee said InnoHK is committed to helping research teams translate their findings into practical applications.

    “Hong Kong’s university professors are outstanding researchers. By giving additional resources, we hope that our research teams can get a more focused platform to carry out their research and development (R&D).

    “We expect that the complete ecosystem at the Science Park will help them establish networks and connect with potential investors, users of their R&D outcomes, as well as other business partners.”

    Mr Lee described research outcomes to date as successful, with over 1,200 patents being granted or filed.

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    GUIYANG, July 19 (Xinhua) — Jeffrey Green, a veteran pilot and chairman of the U.S.-China Aviation Heritage Foundation, has dedicated himself for nearly 30 years to preserving the legacy of the Flying Tigers and strengthening the friendship between China and the United States.

    D. Green’s connection with China began when he was invited to make a documentary on the “Flying Tigers” while working as a consultant on combat aviation history for the National Geographic military channel in the United States.

    The Flying Tigers, officially known as the American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force, was formed in 1941 by American General Claire Lee Chennault. American airmen came to China to help the Chinese people fight the Japanese invaders.

    While losing over 2,000 men, the Flying Tigers pilots shot down over 2,600 Japanese fighters, providing significant assistance in the fight against Japanese aggression.

    In 1995, a group of Flying Tiger veterans invited D. Green to join their delegation to Beijing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. This visit marked his first trip to China.

    After returning to the United States, Green and the veterans, determined to keep the memory of the Flying Tigers alive, founded the U.S.-China Aviation Heritage Foundation in 1998. Since then, the nonprofit organization has been dedicated to studying, promoting, and perpetuating the shared history of U.S.-China wartime cooperation.

    Over the years, the foundation has sponsored nearly 500 veterans and hundreds of their family members and descendants to travel to China. These encounters have produced many emotional and inspiring stories.

    “Every time I learned something that almost no one else knew, I was able to categorize it, creating a kind of library of these thoughts,” Greene said. “But they didn’t have many opportunities to tell their stories. As a result, they just got lost.”

    In 2022, the foundation launched the Flying Tigers Friendship School and Youth Leadership Program to encourage cross-cultural exchanges and pass on the Flying Tigers spirit to younger generations.

    “Young people are the key to intercultural exchanges between our two countries and the hope for the healthy development of China-US relations,” said D. Green.

    To date, nearly 100 high schools and universities in China have applied to participate in the program, signing memorandums of understanding to establish exchange partnerships.

    In a January 2025 letter to Green, former US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns praised the fund’s work, saying it “helps develop people-to-people ties, which are a cornerstone of the US-China bilateral relationship.”

    From Sunday to Thursday, Green led a delegation to Guizhou Province in southwest China to launch the new Flying Tigers Friendship School program and visit historic sites including the 24-Turn Road, which handled more than 2,000 trucks carrying military supplies daily during World War II, and Jiuzhou Airport in Huangping County, which was the Flying Tigers’ base.

    Next year, he plans to bring American students to Guizhou Province to see firsthand the living history of the two countries’ wartime cooperation.

    Now 71, Green has visited China nearly 200 times since the 1990s, bringing veterans, organizing memorial events and building new bridges between the peoples of China and the United States.

    “The Chinese have never forgotten what the Flying Tigers did for them. Eighty years ago, the Chinese and Americans together accomplished something almost impossible, which shows that if we work together, we can win,” said D. Green. -0-

  • MIL-OSI: Ripplecoin Mining caters to the GENIUS Act and releases a new free AI cloud mining app that supports XRP and BTC

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, California , July 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the GENIUS Act was officially signed by US President Donald Trump and established a federal stablecoin regulatory framework, compliant cloud mining service provider Ripplecoin Mining announced the launch of a new AI cloud mining app, which supports users to participate in free cloud mining with mainstream crypto assets such as XRP, BTC, and ETH, and obtain stable cryptocurrency income settled daily.

    The launch of this product marks a strategic upgrade of the platform in the general trend of digital asset compliance, and also provides important infrastructure support for the deepening implementation of stablecoins and blockchain ecology.

    Follow the policy dividend and build a compliant mining channel

    On July 18, US President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which formally established the federal framework for the issuance and supervision of stablecoins backed by the US dollar, and clearly authorized the Federal Reserve to supervise qualified issuers. The bill is hailed as a “turning point” in US crypto policy, which not only boosts market confidence, but also provides policy guarantees for the legal value-added channels of crypto assets.
    Alex Chen, COO of Ripplecoin Mining, said:
    “We firmly believe that clear supervision is the basis for promoting the healthy development of the industry. The free cloud mining app launched by Ripplecoin Mining is designed around the three core elements of compliance, stability, and decentralized financial growth, and empowers a new generation of investors with AI computing power.”

    Product highlights: AI-driven, zero threshold, daily income

    Ripplecoin Mining’s newly released mobile cloud mining app has three core advantages: AI intelligent scheduling, zero threshold for operation, and stable daily income. Users can easily participate in the “mining” process of cryptocurrency without purchasing expensive mining machines or mastering complex technologies.
    The specific functions are as follows:
    AI intelligent scheduling system: The platform automatically matches the optimal computing power resources according to the global computing power market situation to achieve efficient and low-energy distributed mining;

    One-click registration is mining: Click here to quickly register. New users only need to register via email to get a free computing power trial worth $15

    Daily settlement is automatically credited: Regardless of the length of the contract selected by the user, the system automatically settles the income every day and supports withdrawal at any time, truly realizing “holding coins and increasing value”.
    The following contract explains the potential income you can get

    Contract Price Contract Duration Daily Earnings Total Revenue
    $100 2Days $5 $100 + $10
    $500 5Days $6 $500 + $30
    $1,200 8Days $16 $1,300 + $130
    $3,000 12Days $43 $3,000 + $518
    $8,200 22Days $125 $8,100 + $2,742
    $23,500 30Days $409 $23,500 + $12,267

    The platform has a built-in AI intelligent scheduling system that automatically matches user orders to global green mining farm computing resources. The entire process does not require any hardware equipment, power configuration or technical threshold, truly realizing “plug and play in the cloud”.
    This product design concept aims to break the mining threshold, allowing ordinary users and professional miners to enjoy the same income opportunities, and promote the wider implementation of blockchain income mechanisms.

    XRP hits a new all-time high, mining replaces short-term volatile investment strategy

    At the same time as the GENIUS Act was implemented, the price of XRP broke through the historical high of $3.55 on July 17, setting a new stage high since 2018. With Ripple resolving the long-standing regulatory dispute with the SEC and expanding the layout of the US dollar stablecoin RLUSD, the market’s confidence in XRP and its practicality has greatly increased.
    Investors are more interested in holding and appreciating strategies. ChainProof data shows that in the first two weeks of July alone, the proportion of XRP holders who choose to use cloud mining services increased by 31%, showing that investors are shifting from short-term volatility games to stable income allocation.

    Future planning: Multi-currency combination mining and Web3 ecological interconnection

    Ripplecoin Mining revealed that the future version of the platform will launch the “multi-currency combination mining” function, allowing users to uniformly configure mining plans for assets such as XRP, BTC and ETH to further diversify risks and improve income stability. At the same time, the platform is testing access to multiple Web3 wallets and DeFi protocols to create a more open digital asset value-added network.
