Brazil inaugurated a brand new state-of-the-art research station in Antarctica this week.

It took eight years and an investment of almost 100 million dollars to build Brazil’s new research station, after the old one was destroyed in a fire in 2012.

This Comandante Ferraz Antarctic Station is entirely new and built by the Chinese company CEIEC, chosen through an international bidding process.

China and Myanmar inked dozens of deals on Saturday to speed up infrastructure projects in the Southeast Asian nation, as Beijing seeks to cement its hold over a neighbor increasingly isolated by the West.
Xi and Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi signed 33 agreements shoring up key projects that are part of the flagship Belt and Road Initiative.
They agreed to hasten implementation of the China Myanmar Economic Corridor, a giant infrastructure scheme worth billions of dollars, with agreements on railways linking southwestern China to the Indian Ocean, a deep sea-port in conflict-riven Rakhine state, a special economic zone on the border, and a new city project in the commercial capital of Yangon.

位于乌蒙山区川滇黔交界处的鸡鸣三省大桥全面建成通车。鸡鸣三省大桥位于我国集中连片特困地区乌蒙山区深处,此处渭河与倒流河交汇入赤水河,形成的“Y”字形大峡谷将四川、云南、贵州三省分割开来,每个省的扇形区域都是临崖绝壁,属于地理区位上的交通死角。鸡鸣三省大桥的建成,不仅解决了群众长久以来相互隔绝、相望难相通的历史,还将贯通鸡鸣三省一带独特的峡谷自然风光和红色旅游资源,密切三省之间的经济往来,助推脱贫攻坚。
