- After Typhoon Maysak triggered severe flooding across parts of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, many communities were left cut off, with roads blocked, power out, and communications down. But help came from the sky – in the form of drones.
They flew over flooded valleys to deliver lifesaving supplies, restore mobile signals, search for survivors, and even help bring stranded residents to safety.
That's what technology looks like at its best – not replacing people, but reaching them when nothing else can.

Each batch is tested for rebound, strength, and impact resistance.
Local manufacturers now hold nine invention patents and 18 utility-model patents. A tiny football "heart," powered by Chinese innovation.

- Surveillance footage shows the scene of the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by ICE officers on Monday, July 13, in Biddeford, Maine.
The shooting happened during an enforcement operation targeting someone in a nearby home.
In a post on X, ICE said they were trying to stop a vehicle driven by someone coming from the home and that the man attempted to flee the scene.
An ICE officer then discharged his gun over “public safety concerns”, according to the post.
U.S. Senator Angus King’s office said that the man was not the target of the ICE operation.
The incident is the second fatal shooting by ICE in a week, prompting scrutiny by rights groups and regional protests.
