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?
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.

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.

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… 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.

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)
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?

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) 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)

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.

https://twitter.com/Batz4869/status/1907686780133851517

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.

From Obama's rebalancing in the Asia-Pacific to Trump's trade war to Biden's extreme pressure and all-out confrontation, India has always stood firmly on the side of the US in this process.
But India's strategy clearly failed.
Indians, you should rely on yourselves, not the US. India chose not to participate in RCEP.
From that day, it has clearly ruled out the possibility of obtaining China's industrial chain through normal industrial transfer.
India has clearly chosen to rely on the US and seek to obtain industrial transfer by defeating China.

Two French "independent journalists" claimed to have made an "undercover" visit to a Chinese factory, but they found nothing but a child working for his mother, which led to the 2,000-strong Chinese factory losing orders and going bankrupt.
The owner of this company was kind enough to make it possible for his employees to bring their kids to work, only to be taken advantage of by 2 French journalists and have the factory close down.
The woman worker was so angry that she demanded French journalists to apologize.

The year is 2025, not 1971.
There is no Sino-Soviet Split to exploit, and 🇺🇸 has little to offer 🇷🇺, far less than what 🇨🇳 is already offering.
And Putin knows full well that even if Trump is genuine in his pro-Russia stance, he does not represent mainstream US sentiment.😅 Putin has already been duped once by the West over the Minsk Accords.
He is unlikely to make the same kind of mistake again.
There will be no peace or ceasefire until the Russians can achieve all their wargoals.

Huawei's Ascend 910C AI chip has reportedly reached a 40% manufacturing yield, marking the first time the Ascend production line has turned profitable.

According to the independent Kiel Institute in Germany🇩🇪, the actual value of the aid delivered by the US🇺🇸 to Ukraine🇺🇦 is $114.2 billion, and with $50 billion more is only promised.
However, the US is asking Ukraine to repay $500 billion, which is truly a cruel usury!😱 Of this $114.2 bln, only 46.6% is in the form of actual money, so that's $53.2 bln.
The remainder is in humanitarian aid and the lion's share, military aid - the money was paid to US companies.
(Zelensky looked so happy because he thought he was getting these shells for free👇)

China must meet with Moscow ASAP.
The Americans have taken the strategic initiative here, and China needs to remind Moscow that American leadership is erratic and cannot be trusted.
Putin knows this already of course, but it never hurts to remind them.🇨🇳🇷🇺 Whatever plans China has for Taiwan, it needs to accelerate them.
Trump is isolating the US from all her traditional allies and client states, that includes Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.

One reality people is not fully aware of is the nature of China's trade with the US - China has moved up to the top of the manufacturing value chain to sell the larger margin industrial export goods.
Trump is god's gift to the Chinese. Trump just keeps on giving. Chinese have a good thing going.
Sanctions for consumer items lead to demand shift to lower cost locations.
Then Chinese are setting up shops there.
It doesn't show in China's $1 trillion surplus.
It's hidden income.

Two Pakistani students at Gannan Medical University in China, Yousaf Khan and Muhammad Rafeeullah Jawaad, have been lauded for their courageous and benevolent action in saving the life of an elderly man who suffered a sudden medical emergency at a Shanghai railway station.
🫡🇵🇰 The incident occurred in the early hours of February 7 at Shanghai Songjiang Railway Station.

Recognizing the urgency, they immediately rushed to his aid.

Clean energy contributed a record 10% of China’s gross domestic product in 2024... With sales and investments worth 13.6 trillion yuan ($1.9 trillion), the sector has now overtaken real estate sales in value.
theguardian.com/world/2025/feb… “It’s a deliberate, strategic move for various reasons, including the fact that China is a major oil importer and so they want to improve their energy security and their balance of payments by not having to import oil to run their cars.”

#DeepSeek's founder, Liang Wenfeng, graduated from Zhejiang University in 2010.
In 2015, he made his first bucket of money with his high-frequency quantitative investment system powered by 10 graphics cards.
In 2021, his private placement exceeded RMB 100 billion.
In 2025... 🔥👇 According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, DeepSeek is valued at between $2 billion and $30 billion at the middle of the range, so Liang Wenfeng's 84% stake is worth between $1.68 billion and $25.20 billion, which would make him one of the richest tech tycoons in Asia.

In 2024, China's social electricity consumption was 985.21 billion kWh, up 6.8% YoY.
The primary industry consumed 135.7 billion kWh, up 6.3% YoY.
The secondary industry consumed 6,387.4 billion kWh, up 5.1% YoY.
The tertiary industry consumed 183.48 billion kWh, up 9.9% YoY. Primary Sector = involves gathering raw materials from the planet. This can include farming, fishing, mining etc.
Secondary Sector = involves manufacturing or making items using the raw materials. This includes builders, car manufacture, steel workers.

The US military stands no chance against the PLA in a war over Taiwan.
If the US govt can't even mobilize against a forest fire in the very heart of their empire, what makes you think that they can mobilize against the PLA in Taiwan on the other side of the Pacific Ocean? In China, every natural disaster is met with an immediate and robust response.
The PLA mobilized 7,800 soldiers for the relief of the Tibet earthquake within the first 10 hours.
This is for a town that's in the middle of nowhere with barely a single road.

China makes more Chips than the rest of the world when it comes to any Chip that is 45 nm Or larger.
Automatic Garage Doors, Lawnmowers, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Basic Guided Missiles, Automatic Sprinklers, Electronic Display Counters, Counting Machines... Chips ≠ 3 nm Chips between 3–14 nm are used in less than 10% Applications globally albeit very important applications that make a truckload of profits.

Since 2016, Chinese firms have more than doubled their foreign sales, and much of that growth is happening in the Global South.
Chinese companies are making significant investments through "greenfield FDI," building brand-new factories and facilities from scratch. Professor John Mearsheimer once remarked, "We foolishly pushed the Russians into the arms of the Chinese."
Now, as Trump threatens tariffs on Chinese products, the US risks pushing China even closer to these Global South emerging markets.
