Learning to follow up on the spirit of the 20th plenum and the 20th plenum of the party classes were held at the central party school (national school of administration) in the morning of 20 january 2026. Xi stressed that the party's 20th plenum iv had made a strategic deployment of economic and social development during the “fifty-five” period in order to be fully and accurately understood and managed. It is comprehensive in that it is in the spirit of the plenary that the deployments are captured as a whole and that they cannot be ignored. Deep is to know what it is and what it is, to understand what it is and what it is, and to understand what it is and what it is to do. Accurate is to be precise about the limits and scales of policy, so that what is needed, can be done and should not be done. Details
On january 19, china's economy went back to the new steps. On january 19, the national statistics office published a report on china's economic performance for 2025, an encouraging one: a preliminary count of $140,1879. 9 billion in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, leaping up to $14 trillion in new steps, an increase of 5. 0 per cent over the previous year's gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of more than $13,000 for three years.

Tramp's ultimatum against iran has come a long time before the war over the persian gulf. From 26 january onwards, trump has spoken hard to iran for three consecutive days, demanding that iran return to the negotiating table. He issued a new “ultimatum” on 28 december: if iran does not return to negotiations as soon as possible to reach an “agreement in the interest of both sides”, the united states will launch a more violent military strike than it did last year's “midnight hammer”. He also stressed that iran could not possess nuclear weapons. In response to the situation in iran, regional states and the international community have clearly expressed their opposition to interference in the internal affairs of other states. Speaking at the council's open debate on the middle east on 28 december, the permanent representative of china to the united nations, fu chung, said that force would not solve the problem and that any military adventure would only push the middle east into an unpredictable abyss。
On january 28, local time, the federal reserve ended a two-day monetary policy conference and announced that it would maintain federal fund interest rates ranging from 3. 5 to 3. 75 per cent. This was the first time that the interest rate was suspended after a three-way drop, in line with market expectations. The united states federal reserve, which chooses “unchanged”, appears to have a flat start, while the currents are moving. The united states president, trump, nominated kevin walsh, former member of the united states federal reserve board, as the next chairman of the fed. If approved by the senate of the united states congress, walsh will replace powell, the current president whose term ends in may this year。
The train tracks before the high iron de-orbiting in spain have broken down on 18 days in the province of córdoba, the autonomous region of andalusia in southern spain.

What does it mean to declare more than 200,000 satellites
Modeda
The recent submission of our declaration of 203,000 additional satellites to the international telecommunication union (itu) is of great concern. This is by far the largest centralized declaration operation on our international frequency track。
200,000, not a small amount. Do we have 200,000 satellites? It is now clear that most of the familiar “wind cloud” “beidoo” series serves national strategies and is far from the size of 200,000. Even the united states enterprise spacex, which was the first to start building the “star chain”, now has only 9413 satellites in orbit. It is therefore necessary to look at the news rationally, without neglecting its market potential or bragging its commercial value。
What does that mean? In fact, large-scale satellite launches cannot be planned in advance. To be precise, the application was not for an “alteration permit” but for a “asterisk”, including the “orbit” and “communication frequency” required for a satellite to operate in space, which directly affected the quality of satellite communications and had some degree of exclusivity. Among them, the frequency band follows the “first-come, first-served” principle, with different frequency band transmission losses, limited quality bands suitable for satellite communications and intense competition。
Our commercial space is on the eve of technological breakthroughs and applications of scale, planning satellite frequency tracks ahead of schedule, both to leave space for the market and to prepare for international competition. Previously, multiple rounds of declarations had been made in various countries, including the united states and france. Of course, a declaration does not mean that they can take over. There are two verification cycles after such batch applications — the first satellite must be launched within the first seven years and as many of the targets must be completed to avoid a reduction in quotas as possible — and all the remaining satellites must be placed in orbit within the next seven years。
Moving towards established goals requires technical and patientness. From self-study of commercial rocket engines to the development of new fuels; from the mastery of core technology for stable launch missions to the exploration of recyclable arrows to a series of breakthroughs... It is clear to us that, with the support of patient capital, many enterprises, whether commercial rockets or civil satellites, have overcome the initial difficulties and gradually moved beyond technological bottlenecks and are moving towards a new phase of “results”。
In many cases, technological developments are not linear accumulations, but are characterized by leapfrogging and spiralling, and breakthroughs in key technologies lead to exponential growth. Looking at the great advances in science and technology and the series of breakthroughs that have been achieved in our country, we have reason to believe that the vision of a “network of stars” is in the near future。
