How China Saved Myanmar Army after 8-8-88 Uprising?

(Based on Burmese Facebook Posts in July-August 2026.)

Madam Chen Baoliu

It was November 1988, just after the failed-and-horribly-bloodied 8-8-88 Uprising in military-ruled Socialist Burma, and there were huge border battles like Maing Yang in Shan-North, Mae-tha-waw and Wan-kha in Karen State raging.

Maing Yang was under siege by overwhelming BCP (Burma Communist Party) forces on the China-Burma border line, while Myanmar Army was massively attacking KNU (Karen National Union) forces digging in at fortified fortresses on the Thai-Burma border line.

The CPB and KNU were taking advantage of serious disruption faced by Myanmar Army because of the nation wide uprising on 8-8-1988. And the insurgents had overwhelming manpower, weapons, and ammunition stockpile. 

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: The King of AI!

(Aung San Oo’s post from the FACEBOOK on 09 October 2026.)

True crowned emperor of new AI era - NVIDIA's father Jensen Huang: The person solemnly receiving country's highest science honor award (National Medal of Science) from US President Donald Trump is NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang who is backbone of world's AI technology revolution.  

Who is Jensen Huang? Jensen Huang is an engineer born in Taiwan and moved to US since young to study, and in 1993 started founding NVIDIA company.

Many decades ago only produced graphics cards (GPU Graphics Processing Unit) to make better visuals for computer game players, but today chips he produces have become indispensable "Brains of AI era" needed for world's AI big models to think calculate.

Traditional CPUs can only do one calculation at a time, but GPUs invented by Huang can do parallel millions of calculations at same time, so it is irreplaceable foundation in driving Generative AI, AGI and Super Intelligence (SI).

Russian Bubonic Plague Spreading Fast?

(AI Overview article from The GOOGLE.COM on 08 October 2026.)

A 28-year-old laboratory technician named Daria Shipilova died in Siberia after contracting an undiagnosed pneumonia, triggering unconfirmed media reports and international concern over a potential pneumonic plague exposure.

Shipilova worked at the Irkutsk Research Anti-Plague Institute in Shelekhov (near Irkutsk, Siberia). She was hospitalized on September 29, 2026, placed on a ventilator, and died on October 2, 2026.

Russia’s consumer health watchdog (Rospotrebnadzor) and federal officials officially classify the death as pneumonia of unknown origin. They state that tests on known contacts have returned negative for plague and that there is no risk of an epidemic.

Unofficial media reports and a regional governor initially claimed she accidentally broke a test tube containing Yersinia pestis (the bacterium behind the Black Death) or caught it on a trip, leading to fears of pneumonic plague.

(David Brunnstrom’s article from The REUTERS on 30 September 2026.)

UN alarmed by reports that Myanmar air strike killed 50: Smoke rises as fire burns following a Myanmar military airstrike, according to a rebel group that controls the area and a local aid worker, in Kyauktaw, Rakhine State, Myanmar, in this screen grab obtained from a social media video released September 28, 2026.  

Sept 29 (Reuters) - The United Nations expressed alarm on Tuesday at reports that an airstrike ​by the Myanmar military near the country's border with Bangladesh had killed 50 people and wounded ‌dozens more, many of them critically.

A UN spokesperson said continuing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state underscored that conditions did not currently exist for the safe return of refugees and other displaced people to Myanmar.

"This latest airstrike brings that reality into sharp focus," UN ​spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told a UN briefing in New York. The secretary-general strongly condemns the attacks and calls ​on all parties to end the violence immediately, to protect civilians and comply with their ⁠obligations under international law," he said, citing UN chief Antonio Guterres.

Flooded Bangkok Declared Disaster Zone: Heavy Rains

(Staff article from the ABC NEWS AUSTRALIA on 27 September 2026.)

Bangkok declared disaster zone after heavy rain floods homes, submerges roads: Bangkok's governor on Saturday declared Thailand's capital city a disaster-affected zone after torrential rain led to widespread flooding. Nearly 300 millimetres of rain has fallen in the past 48 hours. Bangkok's governor said flooding should recede once the rain subsides.

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt on Saturday declared Thailand's capital city a disaster-affected zone after torrential rain led to widespread flooding, while the weather agency forecast thunderstorms ​over the weekend.

Major roads were flooded, with cars partly submerged, and people were forced to wade through waist-height water after nearly ⁠300 millimetres of rain fell within 48 hours. Mr Sittipunt said the crisis "poses a risk to people's lives" and could damage ​public and private property, and added that the situation was most severe near canals.

Time Magazine’s View on HAUGHTY Myanmar Dictator

(Charlie Campbells’ article from the TIME on 23 September 2026.)

Myanmar Dictator Wants to Rebuild Ties With the West: First came the mirror. Before Min Aung Hlaing enters the room for his first Western media interview since seizing power in a 2021 coup d’état, aides maneuver an ornate Rococo revival looking glass into place for preening. Then come requests for his portrait: light him from the left, the better to disguise a thinning hairline no longer hidden beneath an olive cap.

Myanmar’s former commander in chief now calls himself President, following January elections widely condemned as fraudulent. His fitful transformation from generalissimo to civilian statesman extends even to awkward attempts at bonhomie. He confesses to loving golf—he plays off an 18 handicap—though a bad back has lately kept him from the fairway.

Yet the makeover has limits. The geniality fades when questions turn to human rights, narcotics trafficking, or sanctioned relatives. Even his birthplace remains classified. “I used to revisit my township very often, so if you can carefully watch the news, you can figure out where I’m native,” he says cryptically.

In His Own Words: Rise and Fall of General Khin Nyunt

(Myint Swe’s article from The BANGKOK POST on 08 April 2012.)

In a rare interview since the lifting of his house arrest, the ex-spy boss and former prime minister talks about the events leading to his downfall, peace deals with ethnic groups, his 'brotherly' admiration for Aung San Suu Kyi and the awakening of his faith.

The quiet narrow street leading to our destination is lined with big houses and mansions once inhabited by some of Myanmar's former ruling military elite. Most of them, including the now officially retired Senior General Than Shwe, have moved to new homes in the capital city of Nay Pyi Taw, many with new civilian jobs.

However, one formerly very high-ranking member of the old military regime, former prime minister General Khin Nyunt, is still living in Yangon. No new house has been built for him in Nay Pyi Taw; in fact until recently he was under house arrest at his home in Yangon.

Once dubbed the "prince of evil" by the Western media, Gen Khin Nyunt was freed in January by the new government led by President Thein Sein, himself a former general and a junior to Gen Khin Nyunt in the old regime. The charges levelled against him in October 2004 by the now-defunct State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) led by Sen Gen Than Shwe, were "disobedience" and "corruption".

Aussie households warned $1.3 trillion wipeout looms?

(Cameron Micallef’s article from NEWS.COM AUSTRALIA on 08 September 2026.)

Property price fall ‘tip of the iceberg’ as Aussie households warned $1.3 trillion wipeout looms: Australian homeowners are officially $34.1bn poorer – and economists say that staggering loss barely scratches the surface of what’s coming.

Households are officially $34.1bn poorer, but experts warn the worst is yet to come as property prices are tipped to fall for the next 12-months. Australian Bureau of Statistics latest values of dwellings shows homeowners have officially lost $34.1bn as the housing market decline begins. The total value of Australian residential property is now $12.7 trillion.

AMP chief economist Shane Oliver told NewsWire this is just the tip of the iceberg, with up to a trillion dollars expected to come off the market. “There’ll be a lot more to come, the downtrend is only just starting,” he said. “Even allowing for data that has already been reported there is more downside to show up in the current quarter and of course the current quarter has seen an acceleration in price falls.”

Bathla: Sydney-Indian Property Developer Collapsed (3)

(Staff article from The DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA on 25 August 2026.)

A Sydney property developer whose company has left up to 25,000 homes in limbo after being placed into voluntary administration is building a luxury compound complete with an eight-car underground garage, tennis court and pool.

Bhart Bhushan, who co-owns the Bathla Group alongside his brother Rajinder Mohan, announced the property group would enter voluntary administration on Tuesday, citing a 'perfect storm' of softening sales, tax change impacts, and higher construction costs. The business is believed to owe an estimated total of $3.6billion to private credit firms and other creditors.

Administrators from Teneo have been appointed to undertake an 'immediate assessment' of the company's finances in an effort to stabilise operations. Urgent discussions are now taking place with lenders, and 500 jobs are now at risk.

Mr Bhushan founded the business in 1997 after originally starting out as a taxi driver. Bathla develops budget-friendly housing estates, townhouses and apartments across Sydney, including growing suburbs Schofields, Marsden Park and Tallawong in the city's north-west.
