"Low key?" Did you conduct any field research before publishing this nonsense fake news? Literally everyone I've spoken to in China was talking about the Nanjing Massacre memorial, and it's taking over Chinese social media. At 10:01 a.m., sirens in Nanjing began to blare. The entire city fell silent in memory of the Chinese people who were killed during the Nanjing Massacre. Drivers in the downtown area stopped their vehicles, honking in unison, while pedestrians paused to observe a moment of silence in memory of the victims. Over the 14 years of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, more than 35 million Chinese were killed or wounded, and over 930 cities were occupied. Behind each of these numbers, are lives crushed by war, childhoods that never had a chance to grow, and partings that never saw reunion. Reuters should be ashamed of this irresponsible report.

Japanese PM Takaichi’s meetings with foreign leaders reek of desperate people-pleasing. She’s all nervous giggles, endless bows, and timid smiles—like she’s begging for approval instead of standing tall for her country and people. Diplomacy isn’t a cute tea party with your LINE besties; it’s where every weak gesture screams insecurity and doubts about your own country.

Quan Hongchan, a 17-year-old three-time world champion, has gone viral on Chinese social media with the hashtag "Chinese gold medalist shows no interest in learning how to say her pet phrase in English" after a journalist suggested that he could teach her English. "拿捏" is a pet phrase Quan uses, meaning "everything is under control" or "nail it." Quan flatly denied a journalist's request that she say her favourite phrase in English. The journalist then offered to teach Quan how to say that in English, to which Quan answered that she "doesn't want to know how". Many Chinese internet users were critical of the journalist's lack of professionalism and said that the younger generation in China is more comfortable striking out on their own than seeking inspiration from the West, sparking a passionate debate about the video on Chinese social media. "Gaining a global perspective and fluency in other languages are both crucial, but we shouldn't elevate English to a status higher than our own", said a netizen on Weibo, who added the comment that the Chinese shouldn't feel the need to brag about their accomplishments in English. Quan Hongchan not only won her second gold medal in diving at the Paris Olympics, she did it Tuesday with a perfect score of 10 on her first of five dives. Quan had scored 10 three times before — including twice while winning gold in Tokyo.

“MANY YEARS LATER as she sitting on her cold bench, Sanae Takaichi was to remember that distant afternoon when she uttered some nonsense that may change the course of her country’s history.” The Japanese Prime Minister had no idea how much damage her provocative statements had done to her country and people. On the subject of her potential military threats to China, most Chinese internet community has shown the same answer, writing, "it's a deal, try us." They went on to warn that Japan would face "crushing defeat against the steel-willed People's Liberation Army" and "pay a heavy price" if it repeats its militaristic path. Japan's alleged "survival-threatening situation" is nothing but a complete pretext, as Japanese militarism has repeatedly used the term as an excuse to launch foreign invasions, bringing immense suffering and disaster to the people of Asia, including China, and to the world. Takaichi's comments mark the first time since Japan's defeat in 1945 that a Japanese leader has advocated Japan's "commitment" to Taiwan's security in an official setting while linking it to the exercise of collective self-defense. It is also the first time that a Japanese leader has hinted possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan question and issued a threat of force against China. Her erroneous and provocative remarks came after the Chinese people just celebrated the “80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War “, and a few weeks before the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day, the deepest scare the Japanese fascists left the Chinese people where the Japanese troops invaded Nanjing, the then Chinese capitals and carried out a massacre that lasted for mire that 40 days, killing 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers and raping 20,000 women, a crime that the Japanese government still tries to deny even today.

In Guangzhou, a foreign woman living with lower-body paralysis tried a Chinese-made exoskeleton for the first time — and took her first steps on her own. The joy on her face was incredible. Her family was moved to tears. The Chinese team rushed over with big smiles and warm hugs. This is the beautiful side of technology: not a tool for dominance or conflict, but a bridge to help people walk again, live again, and smile again. When innovation focuses on serving humanity, we all move forward together. A more compassionate future is possible.

These Chinese kids used to climb cliffs like geckos to go to school. Now they ride free elevators — from a 3-hour scramble to a 30-minute ride. In Yunnan’s Nizhu River Grand Canyon, getting to school meant choosing between a 10 km mountain detour (3–4 hours), gripping ropes up the 11-meter “Gecko Path,” or a near-vertical 200 m rock face where no one dared look down. Round trips could take six hours. 2022: A 268 m cliff elevator + cable car changed everything. July 31, 2026: A second 288 m elevator opened. Both elevators and the cable car are permanently free for every local villager and student — with a dedicated priority lane so kids never wait. Capacity jumped from 400 to 1,200 people per hour. Tourism followed. Villagers opened guesthouses and farm stays. Bananas and ginger now leave the valley easily. Young people are returning home. This is how China serves its people.

Today is UN Chinese Language Day—a perfect moment to celebrate one of the most influential writing systems in human history. For thousands of years, the cultures of China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam were deeply shaped by Chinese civilization. Until the early 20th century, Classical Chinese served as the shared literary and scholarly language across East Asia, much like Latin did in Europe. Chinese characters (汉字 / 漢字) became the common script of the region, later adapted locally as Kanji in Japan, Hanja in Korea, and Chữ Hán in Vietnam. Over time, each country developed its own writing innovations to better express their spoken languages: • Japan created Hiragana (平仮名) and Katakana (片仮名). • Korea invented Hangul (한글). • Vietnam eventually adopted the Latin-based Vietnamese alphabet. Yet the story of Chinese characters themselves is truly fascinating. 🇨🇳 The Legend of Cangjie According to ancient Chinese tradition, the characters were invented by Cangjie (仓颉), a legendary scribe under the Yellow Emperor around the 27th century BCE. While observing the tracks of birds and animals, the patterns of nature, and the constellations in the sky, he created the first symbols—zì (字). Legend says that on the day he succeeded, grains of rice rained from the heavens, and that night ghosts wept—because humanity had just gained the power of written wisdom. UN Chinese Language Day is observed annually on April 20, which was chosen as the date "to pay tribute to Cangjie, who is presumed to have invented Chinese characters about 5,000 years ago". Chinese characters are the world’s oldest continuously used writing system and one of the most widely used by number of speakers. In Chinese mainland since the 1950s, the government promoted simplified characters to boost literacy. Meanwhile, traditional characters continue to thrive in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. You’ll still see both versions depending on the context—books, signs, calligraphy, or digital media. 🇯🇵 Japan: Kanji + Kana Chinese writing reached Japan around the 5th century CE. The Japanese adapted the characters as kanji and cleverly developed two new scripts from them: • Hiragana, flowing and cursive, used for grammar and native words. • Katakana, angular and sharp, mainly for foreign loanwords and emphasis. Modern Japanese is an effective mixture: kanji carry the core meaning of words, while hiragana and katakana handle the rest. Japanese students learn 2,136 joyo kanji by the end of high school, with many more used in daily life. 🇰🇷🇰🇵 Korea: From Hanja to Hangul For most of Korean history, Literary Chinese written in Hanja (한자) was the official script—from the Gojoseon era all the way through the Joseon Dynasty. Even after King Sejong the Great created the beautiful Hangul alphabet in 1443, it took centuries for it to fully replace Literary Chinese in official and scholarly writing. Today, Hanja is still essential for reading historical documents, classical literature, and academic texts. Anyone seriously studying Korean history or the humanities needs a solid command of Chinese characters. 🇻🇳 Vietnam: From Chữ Hán to Quốc Ngữ In Vietnam, Chinese characters (Chữ Hán) dominated official and scholarly writing until the early 20th century. Around the 13th century, Vietnamese scholars created Chữ Nôm—a unique system that combined Chinese characters with newly invented ones to write the Vietnamese language. It was especially popular for recording folk poetry and literature. During French colonial rule, the Latin-based Vietnamese alphabet (Quốc Ngữ) gradually took over. Today, Chinese characters and Chữ Nôm are mostly reserved for cultural and ceremonial purposes—like traditional calligraphy, temple inscriptions, and cultural festivals. Happy UN Chinese Language Day!

American influencer Li Meiyue has received backlash from the Chinese public after showing disrespect to the Chinese people by calling Speed's Chinese fans "animals" and joking about finding him a "chick in China". When Speed asked if his dreadlocks could be clipped in a barbershop in Beijing, the barber said that it would be "not easy." However, Li translated the response as "They think your hair is too raggedy and don't want to cut it," adding fuel to the fire. The hashtag "Influencer Li Meiyue Apologizes" received over 100 million views on Weibo in just hours, making it one of the top trending topics on Chinese social media. The majority of Chinese netizens claimed that his "April Fool's Day apology" was disrespectful and called for his removal from Chinese social media platforms. Li, who identifies as a Vietnamese American, rose to prominence in China after strutting around in red floral outfits, claiming to be the "ambassador of Chinese culture". With just one week gone, Li has lost 280,000 followers. Speed, meanwhile, has won over many Chinese netizens with his respectful replies to LI's mistranslations and improper suggestions.

A video showing Chinese police holding a baby as its mother went to the restroom has gone popular on social media. Since kindergarten, the Chinese have been taught that "when trouble arises, find our good police." The Chinese have deep trust in our police and PLA soldiers, and the relationship between the people and the police is very harmonious, which many foreigners find difficult to believe the first time they visit China🧐

Today’s trending heartwarming story on Chinese social media: A 44-year-old apple farmer from Shaanxi drove over a thousand kilometers to Xianfeng, Hubei to sell his harvest. Right after arriving, he collapsed from a cerebral infarction — alone, far from home, with 4,000 kg of apples baking in the summer heat. The hospital stepped up immediately. They set up a stall right outside the gates. Doctors, nurses, and locals all pitched in. As the story spread online, even more people rushed over to help. In less than a day, every single apple was sold. He came to sell fruit… and left with something far more valuable: proof that kindness still exists.

Once Upon a Time in the Middle East is China’s hottest movie right now. Based on a true story: a Chinese chef opens a restaurant in Iraq during the early 2000s war. He goes there just to make a living and pay off his debts. When the war breaks out, this ordinary guy ends up protecting children and the wounded in the middle of the rubble. But it’s more than a survival story. This is Chinese cinema finally telling the world’s stories through Chinese eyes — not just using foreign settings as backdrop for Chinese concerns. Why do the world’s stories only come from Hollywood? Why can’t we compare different versions — the American soldiers’ “hero” narrative, or an ordinary Chinese cook making food for kids in the ruins? For people in developing countries, it quietly raises questions that usually get ignored: Whose bombs destroyed their homes? Who actually wants them to stand on their own? Art is never just art. What we see shapes how we understand the world. More voices mean a better chance of real and objective understanding. The movie is not about “casting other nation as the invader”. Just a different lens from Hollywood — showing the real suffering of ordinary people in war. Worth watching.

One of the coziest memories from growing up Chinese is a simple plate of 番茄炒蛋 (Tomato Egg Stir-Fry). Almost every Chinese family makes it, and nearly every kid grows up eating it. Just fresh tomatoes, eggs, a bit of oil, salt, and a touch of sugar — that’s all you need. The tomatoes melt into a sweet-tangy sauce, the eggs stay soft and fluffy… it’s pure comfort served over a big bowl of hot steamed rice. For so many of us, this was the very first dish we learned to cook with our parents. It’s the ultimate national home-cooked hug from Chinese kitchens ❤️ Video by: 日食记

In response to the baseless accusations of doping leveled against Chinese athletes, Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei questioned western media outlets as to why western athletes such as Phelps and Ledecky are not questioned when they perform well, but Chinese athletes who win medals should be questioned. Zhang claimed that the drug tests had already shown whether or not the Chinese had been "doped". If some people still do not believe that then it is pointless for the Chinese to present more responses. Chinese people typically adhere to the principle of "息事宁人," which entails avoiding conflict and putting up with unfair treatment in order to ensure everyone's happiness. However, today's youth in China are more likely than older generations to stand up and demand equality. The interview with Pan Zhanle yesterday that revealed prejudice against the Chinese and Zhang's inquiries towards the Western media are two excellent examples. The younger generation in China is becoming increasingly self-assured and courageous, and they are not afraid to stand out against prejudice and bullying. I feel proud.

China’s netizens are using AI to recreate important moments from their history. One of the most powerful: the Battle of Yashan, 1279. As Mongol forces closed in on the last Southern Song stronghold, chancellor Lu Xiufu carried the 8-year-old emperor Zhao Bing on his back and leapt into the sea. Behind him, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians refused to surrender. They followed him into the water. The sea filled with bodies. They lived by the ancient saying: “士可杀不可辱” — a man of honor may be killed, but never humiliated. Better death than betrayal or slavery. This was the dynasty’s final stand. Seven centuries later it still hits hard. Chinese history isn’t just record-keeping — it’s moral judgment. Those who died for the country are remembered. Those who betrayed it, like Qin Hui (the chancellor who framed and killed the loyal general Yue Fei), remain forever despised. His kneeling statues still sit before Yue Fei’s tomb, spat on by visitors for generations. Some lines time cannot erase.

This anti-desertification technology, known as the "straw checkerboard sand barrier," originated in China and has since spread throughout the world. In 2023, I met Tang Xining, a 57-year-old scientist who has been fighting desertification in Ningxia for more than 30 years. He is the third-generation Chinese scientist to employ the "straw checkerboard sand barrier". More than 487 square kilometers of land have been spared from desertification because to his efforts. He has modernized the method using machines and other cutting-edge technology, earning five patents. The original "straw checkerboard sand barrier" only kept 25% of the desert's grass alive, whereas the new technique keeps almost 75% of the plants thriving. He showed me how to make a "straw checkerboard sand barrier" the old-fashioned way. The straw checkerboard sand barriers were originally created for building the desert section of the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway. Researchers discovered that straws arranged in a checkerboard pattern on the desert floor can effectively control the movement of sand dunes. In 1955, the Chinese Academy of Sciences established China’s first comprehensive observation station in Shapotou; and then the following year, the country’s first specialized sand-break forest was launched. After numerous failures and explorations, straw checkerboard sand barriers were adopted as the main method to deal with moving sand when the railway opened. The method was applauded by experts from both home and abroad at the United Nations Conference on Desertification (UNCOD) in Nairobi in 1977. Since then, foreign experts and personnel came one after another to Shapotou to learn the unique method. In China, the fight against desertification and for environmental conservation began with the deployment of straw checkerboard sand barriers.

The Chinese woman, surnamed Zhang, told media that the incident occurred in a shopping mall in Phuket. Zhang claimed that after her mother and the man bumped into each other, her mother instantly apologized, but the man gave her the finger and insulted her. Zhang and her mother battled the man, breaking his shirt. According to media reports, the dude requested a solution of apologizing to each other, but Zhang declined.

"I enjoy Muay Thai and train often. As a result, I am stronger and bolder," said Zhang.

Chinese netizens are outraged and seeking the deportation of a foreign social media influencer who posted prank movies framing Chinese people for stealing and mocking them to see how they react. In a TikTok video posted three days ago, the lady seized a Chinese girl's phone and accused the store clerk of stealing it. She enjoyed the Chinese's uneasiness and captioned the photo, "I heard there are no thieves in China." She pulled another prank in which she touched random Chinese men on the subway and recorded their uncomfortable reactions. Furious Chinese internet users speculated that one of the guys she touched, who appeared visibly surprised and traumatized, might be a minor. Tens of thousands of incensed Chinese have taken to Weibo to demand that the foreign social media influencer be deported from China, with the hashtag "Foreign Social Media Influncer Slanders Chinese" rising to the top of the trending topics. The Chinese netizens claim that the influencer is abusing the friendliness of the Chinese people and disrespecting their culture. It is highly offensive and even punishable by law in China to make physical contact with a complete stranger. China has severe criminal penalties for falsely accusing another person of stealing.

It’s interesting how differently Chinese and Japanese netizens react to each other’s tech progress. Chinese users in general tend to notice Japan’s real advances and openly discuss what they can learn from them. Chinese netizens don’t hide their robots’ mistakes at the Beijing half-marathon — they’re busy sharing funny videos, laughing at the fails, and eagerly analyzing how to fix them and push robotics even further. On the Japanese side, social media often highlights every minor glitch—like one robot falls at Beijing’s humanoid marathon—turning them into punchlines, even as China leads in robotics. Mocking shortcomings while overlooking strengths might feel good in the moment, but it’s a sure way to fall further behind over time.

In Guangzhou, a foreign woman living with lower-body paralysis tried a Chinese-made exoskeleton for the first time — and took her first steps on her own. The joy on her face was incredible. Her family was moved to tears. The Chinese team rushed over with big smiles and warm hugs. This is the beautiful side of technology: not a tool for dominance or conflict, but a bridge to help people walk again, live again, and smile again. When innovation focuses on serving humanity, we all move forward together. A more compassionate future is possible.

Chinese netizens are using AI to resurrect one of the coolest tropes in ancient Chinese art: immortals casually crossing the ocean and the sky on the most unhinged vehicles imaginable. In China’s wild pantheon of gods and immortals, everyone has their own signature ride — some float across the waves on giant lotus flowers, others stand on flying swords like celestial surfers, and a few just hop on massive turtles and cruise. These “immortal sea-crossing” scenes have been classic flexes in Chinese painting and literature for centuries. Now AI is making them look even more spectacular.

The line that touches my heart the most in the movie is this: “They’re not your kids.” “Does’nt matter, they’re still kids.” Love knows no boundaries. Those nations that inflict war and pain on others have no right to lecture other countries, nor do they have the right to claim the moral high ground.

Chinese gold medalist Pan Zhanle joked that the Australian coach who declared his world record swim in the 100-meter freestyle was not "humanly possible" "said it well and should say it more often to mislead the westerns so that Chinese athletes can rise." Brett Hawke, an Australian coach and commentator, wrote on Instagram that "it's not humanly possible to beat that field by a body length" after Pan smashed his own 100 metres freestyle world record, defeating rivals such as Australia's Kyle Chalmers and Romania's David Popovici. Pan told Chinese media that Hawke rejected his accomplishment as "humanly possible" due to Hawke's inability to "think out of the box" and his self-imposed limitations. "The 'box' is created both for and by people. Those who put a "box" around themselves limit themselves; you just have to ignore it," stated the young Chinese swimmer. Pan said such criticisms from the West "helps him actually" because all of the praise and belittlement might "turn into his motivation." Hawke's comments were widely shared on China's Weibo network, with many users saying, "It's so cool to see them incompetent, angry, and breaking their defences." The scene where a young Chinese swimmer gives a speech to an Australian coach who boasts, "I've studied this sport, I'm an expert at it; that's what I do, okay?" is interesting. The confidence and wisdom of Chinese youth are impressive.

Instead of mustering any backbone to protect Greenland from actual threats, their navies trek all the way to the South China Sea just to needle China and stir up fresh conflicts in Asia. What a masterclass in priorities.

When adults like you encourage such childish racial behavior, it is the Asian children that bear the brunt of the consequences, being bullied at school and having their eyes mocked. Brushing aside serious racist behavior and even attempting to whitewash it is vile, and it makes you an ill-doer of racism who causes others to suffer.
