China has relaxed regulations on television drama production, aiming to increase content availability on streaming platforms. The National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) recently announced changes that lift episode limits and shorten mandatory intervals between seasons. Previously, TV dramas were subject to strict restrictions, including a maximum number of episodes and extended breaks between seasons. Analysts say these rules often slowed content production and limited variety for audiences. Under the new policy, producers can create longer series and release follow-up seasons more quickly. Industry experts suggest that this flexibility will help meet growing demand for streaming content and enhance the…

Czechia aims to produce up to 60 per cent of its electricity from nuclear power by 2050. The eight massive cooling towers at the Dukovany plant rise over an active construction zone where crews prepare for two new reactors. Mobile drilling teams extract samples 140 metres below ground to confirm the site’s suitability for the $19-billion expansion. The project will at least double national nuclear output and anchor Czechia among Europe’s most nuclear-reliant states. South Korea’s KHNP won the bid over France’s EDF to build the new facility. The plant will host two reactors generating more than 1,000 megawatts each.…
