  Over the past few decades, China has emerged as a dominant force in global affairs, reshaping the economic, political, and cultural landscape of the 21st century. From its beginnings as an agrarian society to its status as the world's second-largest economy, China's rise has been nothing short of transformative. This journey, marked by rapid industrialization, technological innovation, and assertive foreign policy, has propelled the nation into the global spotlight, prompting discussions about the future balance of power in a multipolar world.  
    
  China’s rise did not happen overnight. Decades of reform, beginning with Deng Xiaoping’s economic policies in the late 1970s, laid the foundation for what would become an economic powerhouse. By opening its markets, encouraging foreign investment, and emphasizing export-driven growth, China achieved an unprecedented transformation. The country’s ambitious initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, have further cemented its influence across Asia, Africa, and Europe, showcasing its capability to lead large-scale international projects.  
    
  While China’s economic success has garnered global admiration, it has also sparked significant challenges and controversies. Trade wars with the United States, disputes over intellectual property rights, and concerns over its role in international organizations have underscored tensions with other global powers. Simultaneously, its advances in technology, including 5G infrastructure and artificial intelligence, have positioned it as a key competitor to traditional Western tech leaders.

  The History of Computing - From...

  The story of computing begins not with electricity or screens, but with simple tools and the human need to solve problems. Long before the modern computer, ancient civilizations were already creating devices to aid in counting, measuring, and performing basic arithmetic. These early innovations laid the groundwork for centuries of progress in computing. 
  One of the most enduring tools from this era is the abacus. Believed to have originated in Mesopotamia over 4,000 years ago, the abacus evolved in various cultures, including Chinese, Roman, and Japanese societies. It was a portable, efficient device that allowed users to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by sliding beads along rods or grooves. Although simple in design, the abacus was powerful for its time and is still used in some regions for teaching arithmetic and mental calculation skills. 
  In addition to the abacus, ancient number systems were critical to the development of computation. The Babylonians used a base-60 numeral system, which influenced the way we measure time and angles today. The Egyptians employed a system based on units of ten, using hieroglyphs to represent values. Meanwhile, the Romans had a cumbersome numeral system that made complex calculations challenging. It wasn't until the adoption of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, with its concept of zero and place value, that true advances in mathematical computation became possible.
