The Blue Line: A CGTN Documentary on UN Peace Missions
The Blue Line runs 120 kilometers across southern Lebanon. It is not a border, but a fragile withdrawal line, where peacekeepers once stood, and where some fell.
In July 2006, four unarmed UN observers lost their lives there. One was Chinese Major Du Zhaoyu. To this day, his mother says her son is “on duty” to deal with her grief.
Irish Commandant Pat Dillon, then with Team Sierra, created a video to honor his fallen colleagues. He had been evacuated just before the fateful day. “We feel cheated that you were taken from us so young.”
Lebanese interpreter Majid Monzer also worked with Du. “Many times we thought perhaps today was our last day, but we kept going because we love peace. This vest showed we belonged to UNTSO. But sadly, it didn’t save every life.”
In November 2024, just four days before a ceasefire, an airstrike struck Majid’s village. He lost his wife and his right leg was injured.
Two decades on, Du inspires a new generation. Xue Guiqing is a Chinese military observer now stationed in the same area along the Blue Line. “When I saw his smiling face in a photo, it felt as if he were looking at me. In that moment, I felt a sense of legacy, responsibility, and conviction.”
Her team leader, Norwegian Captain Yorgen Paul Lycle, believes peace remains elusive because the world fails to invest enough in it.
That issue looms large today. In August 2025, the UN Security Council voted to end the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) by 2026. But UNIFIL Force Commander Aroldo Lázaro Sáenz insists the role of peacekeepers is still vital. “We made the decision to remain even during the height of the conflict, because this was the right thing to do. This is our duty.”
Resources are limited; mandates are constrained. Yet many argue peacekeeping remains indispensable. As South Africa’s Defence Minister Matsie Angelina Motshekga says, “It’s a very costly exercise, budgets are very low—but war is even more costly.”
The Blue Line is grim reminder of where lives were lost and where others still serve. In a time of doubt, the world must ask: Can peacekeeping remain the best tool we have to defend the dignity of peace?

Delaware, US – 16th September 2025 – Gonka, a decentralized network for high-efficiency AI compute, has officially launched, offering builders, researchers, and enterprises an open alternative to traditional cloud infrastructure.
Unlike centralized providers that gate access to compute through APIs and corporate pipelines, Gonka enables anyone with hardware—from a single GPU to a full-scale data center—to contribute power directly to meaningful AI workloads, including model training, inference, and scientific simulations.
Breaking the Cloud Monopoly
In traditional Proof-of-Stake networks, more than 90% of GPU cycles are consumed on consensus tasks that hold no value beyond the blockchain itself. Gonka flips this model: nearly 100% of resources are directed toward productive AI workloads. This approach not only maximizes efficiency but also ensures that every unit of compute power contributes directly to advancing AI research and applications.
Early Adoption Incentives
To accelerate adoption, Gonka has introduced a 180-epoch (approximately six months) Grace Period in which inference runs at zero cost. During this time, a fixed allocation of GNK, the network’s native token, is distributed daily among active hosts. This issuance decreases over time, creating scarcity and rewarding early participants disproportionately.
Permissionless by Design
c. Participants can connect their GPUs, begin contributing compute, and immediately earn GNK. For developers, the network offers an OpenAI-compatible API, making it simple to build on top of decentralized infrastructure without sacrificing usability.
A New Era of Plural AI
By aligning incentives with meaningful work and removing gatekeepers from the equation, Gonka sets the foundation for a new paradigm in AI development—one where compute power is treated as a shared resource, and knowledge is allowed to flourish without censorship.
About Gonka
Gonka is a decentralized network for high-efficiency AI compute, designed to maximize the use of global GPU power for meaningful AI workloads. By eliminating centralized gatekeepers, Gonka provides builders and researchers with permissionless access to compute resources, while rewarding participants through its native token, GNK.

Carbon Tracking System Goes Live: AetheriQube Empowers End-to-End Emissions Management
.png)
Recently, AetheriQube officially announced the launch of its carbon tracking system, marking significant progress in the fields of carbon reduction and energy transition. This system integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology to achieve real-time, end-to-end monitoring and on-chain verification of energy production, consumption, and carbon emissions, providing innovative technical support for global environmental compliance.
As the global “dual carbon” goals advance, precise monitoring and management of carbon emissions have become core tasks for national energy policies. The carbon tracking system of AetheriQube utilizes Graph Neural Network (GNN) technology to monitor carbon emissions in real time across energy production and consumption processes. By analyzing power flows and demand fluctuations with AI, the system delivers accurate carbon emission forecasts, helping energy suppliers and users optimize energy usage strategies to reduce emissions. The application of this system not only improves the precision of carbon accounting but also offers robust technical support for the transparency and standardization of the global green energy market.
Additionally, the carbon tracking system of AetheriQube provides innovative solutions for clean energy trading. By recording carbon reduction data on-chain, the platform can issue tradable carbon certificates to clean energy producers. This creates new investment opportunities for green energy investors and generates additional revenue for clean energy producers, encouraging broader participation in carbon reduction and advancing global environmental objectives.
The carbon tracking system also takes into account increasingly stringent global environmental regulations. The real-time carbon emission data of the system complies with local regulatory requirements, effectively reducing the risks of enterprises in responding to policy changes. Through this system, AetheriQube offers users worldwide compliant and transparent carbon emission data, supporting the development of the green finance market.
AetheriQube is accelerating the process of energy transition and carbon reduction, while providing sustainable technical support for global carbon compliance management. With the full-scale deployment of this system, AetheriQube is set to play a more significant role in the global energy sector, driving progress toward worldwide low-carbon goals.
