The ARJ21, China's homegrown regional jetliner, was delivered on Sunday to Indonesian carrier TransNusa, marking the first time that China's jet airliner has entered the overseas market.…

Developed by Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), the ARJ21 regional aircraft has a range of up to 3,700 km. It can fly in alpine and plateau regions and is adaptive to various airport conditions.

Nearly 100 ARJ21 planes have been delivered to its clients and in operation on 300 flight routes, connecting more than 100 cities and having safely carried 5.6 million passengers, COMAC said.

Salaries in the U.S. aren’t keeping up with inflation, despite pandemic-related increases in some sectors. That’s a major threat to the future for all working Americans – especially the youngest.

Social Security is your future. And that future could come sooner than you think.

Conversations about the program often pit younger workers against retirees, but Social Security is really an intergenerational compact that boosts the well-being of Americans of all ages — that’s one of the reasons the program is so cherished.

If nothing else, the enormous success of (South) Korean culture abroad is an example of how industrial policy and culture are by no means mutually exclusive. Those brilliant, brutal films about class war, those ultra-cute, ultra-glossy TV dramas, those androgynous boy and girl bands, can all be traced in some way to the enormous state […]

What is to be done with Russian books? Which of them, if any, should we read now? Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, calls to cancel Russian literature have been heard from various quarters.

By the brink of autumn in 1853, the Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle was nearing the end of his tether. ‘All summer I have been more or less annoyed with noises’, he wrote to his sister that August.
