A recent social hotspot in China over the past two days:
In the small southwestern city of Jiangyou, three girls (13 years old, 14 years old, and 15 years old) bullied a 14-year-old girl (by insulting her, slapping her face, and stripping her clothes), and also filmed a video and posted it online.

The two perpetrators aged 14 and 15 were respectively given 13 days and 10 days of detention and fines by the police, while the other 13-year-old perpetrator was exempted from punishment due to being under 14 years old and was handed over to her parents for education.

Local people considered the police punishment "too soft" (although this is already a severe punishment under existing laws) and protested against the government, even triggering violent conflicts.

Regarding such crimes committed by minors, how does the law in your country punish them?Image

If you have enough patience, please read this analysis thread of the "Jiangyou City minor campus bullying incident".👇
It is written in Chinese; I hope your translation function works.
The author's core view is:
China, more than a decade ago (during the so-called China-US friendly period), enacted some laws influenced by Western legal thought, being too lenient toward offenders, such as the 2006 "Law on the Protection of Minors' Rights and Interests" that contributed to this incident.
Too many Western-sponsored NGOs, feminist / human-rights / animal-rights activists influenced our country's law-making at that time, sowing hidden dangers and fuses for today's social conflicts.
The author suggests reviewing and amending the relevant laws to make them better suit China's national conditions and the people's values.

In Jiangyou City, locals protesting the "minors school bullying case" said to police:
"We trust the people's police... but you have kids too, and they might face the same stuff... Long live Chairman Mao!"
Clearly, people are fed up with the 2006 Minors Protection Law, wanting young offenders thrown into juvenile jails like before.
This backs up the analysis I forwarded.

The CPC was deceived in its first contact with the US govt, which is why we cannot trust the Americans' promises.
In November 1944, the US govt sent the Dixie Mission to Yan'an to make contact with the CPC.

Mao Zedong speaking with US journalist Harrison Forman, 1944.
Forman was a photojournalist for United Press International and the London Times.
In June 1944, he headed northwest to Yan'an with a group of journalists to do frontline reporting from the base of the CPC-led resistance against the Japanese, revealing to the world the real situation in Yan'an, and the toughness of the Eighth Route Army as it bravely resisted the Japanese at the Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia border. He subsequently wrote the bestselling book Report from Red China.Image

NYT -
For years, theorists have posited the onset of a “Chinese century”: a world in which China finally harnesses its vast economic and technological potential to surpass the United States and reorient global power around a pole that runs through Beijing.
That century may already have dawned, and when historians look back they may very well pinpoint the early months of President Trump’s second term as the watershed moment when China pulled away and left the United States behind.
nytimes.com/2025/05/19/opi…Image
Mr. Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the pillars of American power and innovation. His tariffs are endangering U.S. companies’ access to global markets and supply chains. He is slashing public research funding and gutting our universities, pushing talented researchers to consider leaving for other countries. He wants to roll back programs for technologies like clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing and is wiping out American soft power in large swaths of the globe.
nytimes.com/2025/05/14/bus…Image
China’s trajectory couldn’t be more different.
It already leads global production in multiple industries — steel, aluminum, shipbuilding, batteries, solar power, electric vehicles, wind turbines, drones, 5G equipment, consumer electronics, active pharmaceutical ingredients and bullet trains. It is projected to account for 45 percent — nearly half — of global manufacturing by 2030. Beijing is also laser-focused on winning the future: In March it announced a $138 billion national venture capital fund that will make long-term investments in cutting-edge technologies such as quantum computing and robotics, and increased its budget for public research and development.

Is China a dictatorship or a democracy?🤔

A dictator is someone with total power over a country.
Usually, in a dictatorship country, the position of supreme leader is passed from father to the son.

(1/X)Image
Image
Whereas in China, none of any 2 PR China🇨🇳 presidents even have the same family name, let along come from the same family.

So by what definition is China a dictatorship? Just because you say that Xi has the total power?

（2/X） Image
Some say that China is an "one party dictatorship", which is ridiculous because the communist party of China has over 90 million members.

The supreme organ of State authority of China is National People's Congress, which has around 3 thousand members.

Did u hear about the story of "Zhengguo canal" from 246 BC? State of Han engineer Zheng Guo bamboozled State of Qin's king with an "irrigation project" to drain their treasury.
Plot twist: it backfired harder than TikTok algorithms! (1/10) Image
Zheng sold it like a PowerPoint-wielding consultant: "Let's turn Guanzhong wasteland into Jiangnan rice paradise!"
Meanwhile, his boss Han Kingdom giggled: "Our 'fatigue Qin' plan gonna work!" Spoiler: It didn't. At all. (2/10) Image
When exposed mid-construction, Zheng dropped truth bombs: "Sure I'm a spy, but quitting now wastes 9 yrs' work! Finish it & your farm yields jump 6X!"
Qin king facepalmed but kept funding—turning "Bankrupt Qin" into "Buff Qin". (3/10) Image

This👇 was the response to my criticism several years ago by the Shanghai Govt about the opening of some school sports venues. I were very satisfied with the response.
Most Chinese, like me, we only care if our criticism works. Image
I criticized the govt for providing too few sports venues, and the govt staff replied to me about the reasons for this situation and how they will improve it.
My criticism worked.
So, simply criticizing the govt is meaningless, the key is to urge the govt to change.
In China, if you have any criticism, dissatisfaction or complaint about the govt... Just call 12345 (or its APP). This hotline will deal with everything.
Usually within 48 hours, the govt staff will recall you and tell you the result.
