The bonds have a value of US$ 1.5 billion, maturing on January 3, 2031, with a coupon of 5.6% per annum (pa) and an issuance price of 99.993%, while the maturity on June 3, 2050 has a value of US$ 1.75 billion, a coupon of 6.75% pa, an issuance price of 98.110%, and a yield to the investor of 6.9% pa.

According to the state company, the subsidiary intends to use the funds for corporate purposes. The operation was led by BNP Paribas, Itau BBA, J.P. Morgan, Scotia Capital, and SMBC Nikko Securities Americas.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.
