China plans to spend $55 billion (¥398.12 billion) on science and technology in 2025, up 10% from last year's $50 billion (¥361.9 billion). This makes tech the country's third-biggest expense, right behind defense spending and interest payments on debt. Last year, the government used 97.6% of the money it set aside for tech, showing they put almost all planned resources to work.
The money mainly supports projects under the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 plan, with big chunks going to computer chips, AI, and quantum computing research. The gradual increase aims to build on what's already working rather than trying to make sudden breakthroughs. China wants to become less dependent on other countries for tech as global competition...

The State Department has given South Africa's ambassador to the United States a deadline. Ebrahim Rasool must pack up and leave by Friday after the US declared him unwanted last week. When Secretary of State Marco Rubio decided Rasool was no longer welcome, officials called South African embassy workers to hand them an official letter. The government told them plainly that America rejects Rasool as their representative.
Rasool lost all his special diplomat protections on Monday according to officials. Nobody knows for sure if he remains in the country right at this moment. Rubio shared his decision through social media as he flew back from Canada after meeting with other world leaders. He attacked Rasool as someone who stirs up racial...
A Zimbabwe High Court has delayed its decision on freeing journalist Blessed Mhlanga, leaving him locked up longer. Judge Gibson Mandaza needs extra time to review arguments from both sides before making up his mind. Mhlanga works for Alpha Media Holdings and faces charges of sharing messages that allegedly encourage violence. The authorities grabbed him on February 23, and he's spent more than 20 days behind bars already.
The government claims Mhlanga broadcast a news conference featuring Blessed Geza, an outspoken Zanu PF politician and war veteran. Geza became famous nationwide for boldly demanding President Emmerson Mnangagwa step down from office. Police want to arrest Geza, who has disappeared from public view to avoid capture...
Armed robbers hit a farm in Marondera early Tuesday. They took $75,000 cash plus personal stuff from the family of businessman Wicknell Chivayo's new wife. Police believe this money came from what Chivayo paid for his wedding to Lulu Muteke on March 8. Rumors claimed he spent $300,000 on the marriage, but Chivayo said publicly he paid much less, around $20,000.
He did admit sending exactly $75,000 to help her parents prepare everything for the ceremony. The trouble started when gunshots woke up neighbors near Alpha Omega Farm. Christopher Mudzingwa Muteke, father of the bride, sent emergency messages asking nearby farmers for help. Several showed up but quickly backed away after seeing how many armed men swarmed the property.

Kirsty Coventry might break new ground Thursday at the International Olympic Committee General Assembly. The Sports Minister from Zimbabwe could become the first woman and first African to lead the IOC. At 41 years old, she would rank as the youngest president since Pierre de Coubertin, who started the modern Olympics and took charge at 33 back in 1896.
Coventry always aimed high from childhood. She told her father at age 9 she wanted Olympic gold. He warned her about the tough journey ahead but supported her dream. She made it happen at 20, winning gold in the 200-meter backstroke at Athens 2004. She repeated this feat four years later in Beijing 2008.
Her incredible career includes seven Olympic medals total - two gold, four silver...
Zimbabwe stands at the heart of African freedom history according to East African Community Executive Secretary Veronica Nduva. After walking through the Museum of African Liberation, she stressed how Africa must keep true records of its past. The museum sits inside an area called Liberation City where builders have started work already.
Nduva had just finished an important meeting about problems in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She took time between official duties to check out what she called a historic country. Her visit brought attention to how Zimbabwe helped lead the way when African nations fought to break free from colonial rule. She pointed out that any talk about freedom fighters across Africa must include Zimbabwe.
