The Chinese community in Castelló, represented by the Qingtian Association, will inaugurate a new headquarters at number 11 Escalante street, in the capital of Plana. Starting in September, the headquarters will share space with the Religious Community Association Buddhist Temple, a religion practiced by Chinese citizens. The people in charge of the entity are finalizing the renovation work on the ground floor of the building. The space will function as a cultural and social center, intended not only for neighbors of Chinese nationality, but also for the rest of the citizens of Castelló who wish to learn about this culture and its customs.

The article analyzes how these changes reflect a tendency towards softening language and establishes interesting parallels between Portuguese and other linguistic varieties, including Mirandese and Brazilian Portuguese, demonstrating that these lexical transformations are a natural part of language evolution.

Interim president of Venezuela 'rebukes' Trump and says country will maintain control of its oil after agreement

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, responded on Saturday to statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, affirming that her country will maintain control and sovereignty over its oil reserves, contradicting Trump's claim that the U.S. had secured "majority control" over Venezuela's more than 65 billion barrels in reserves. According to Rodríguez, the agreement signed with the U.S. aims to attract around $100 billion in private investment from American companies to revitalize Venezuela's oil industry, turning underground resources into a source of economic and social well-being for the Venezuelan people.
