  • An organ transplantation research team from Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan has achieved a major breakthrough, with a gene-edited pig kidney surviving in a macaque for an unprecedented 184 days.

The article from Global Times discusses the ongoing tensions between China and the Philippines over the South China Sea, particularly focusing on the Second Thomas Shoal (Ren'ai Jiao). It highlights the Philippines' actions of reinforcing a grounded warship, the Sierra Madre, which China views as an illegal occupation. The piece details China's Coast Guard's response to these actions, including the use of water cannons to deter Philippine vessels, and criticizes the Philippines for escalating the situation by involving the US and other nations. It also mentions the broader geopolitical context, including the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, and accuses the Philippines of violating international law and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC). The article suggests that the Philippines' actions are provocative and could lead to further regional instability, urging for a peaceful resolution through dialogue and adherence to international norms.
