Bahia Signs Bridge Contract of US$ 1.26 Billion with Chinese Investors. China Has Been Gaining Ground in Almost Every Segment of the Brazilian Market in Recent Years.

The Bahian government signed a PPP contract with a Chinese consortium for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Salvador-Itaparica bridge on November 12, 2020. The project is worth 6.9 billion reais (US$ 1.26 billion) and includes 5.4 billion reais in investments from the consortium, formed by China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), CCCC South America Regional Company (CCC CSA), and China Railway 20 Bureau Group Corporation (CR20).

The state government is investing R$ 1.5 billion in the 12.4 km bridge. The consortium now has one year to obtain all necessary licenses and begin construction, with an expected construction period of four years.

“This is the largest investment by a Chinese group in Brazil in recent years. We are very proud to reach this moment of signing the contract with a group from a country that invests heavily in research and technology,” said Rui Costa, governor of the northeastern state.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.
