A worker takes down freshly oxidized aluminum ferrules from a rack at a factory of a company in Luyi County, central China's Henan Province, June 17, 2025. Luyi County of Henan Province is home to more than 300 makeup brush manufacturers and over 1,000 supporting businesses. The county has an annual output of 150 million sets of mid-to high-end makeup brushes, generating over 13 billion yuan about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars) in annual sales. Leveraging cross-border e-commerce platforms, these products are now sold in more than 20 countries and regions. As the industry continues to grow, makeup brush companies in the county are steadily expanding up and down the supply chain. Many have moved beyond simple assembly into in-house production of bristles, metal ferrules, brush handles, makeup sponges, and packaging bags, forming a relatively complete industrial chain.

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

Wang Min, a researcher with the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), works at his office at IVPP in Beijing, capital of China, on February 10, 2025. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought. The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature, on February 11, 2025, in B
