"I thought he would help the kitten..." In China, a lone kitten surrounded and attacked by three dogs. Just then, a kind-looking old man came running over. I thought he was going to rescue the kitten, but instead, he was protecting his own dogs. And then, he kicked the kitten hard off the high ledge. If you can't love it, at least don't hurt it.

In capitalist America, the class divide is so naked you can see it from the platform. The bourgeoisie ride in comfort. The proletariat are packed in. Even the trains are segregated, because the working class is oppressed. Oh wait. This is China. Then the workers always have a way to the ruling class, because the ruling class is loved by the working class. There is no class segregation. The people simply adore their leaders so much that they insist those leaders travel in sealed carriages, private sections, and quiet luxury — while everyone else stands. It is not privilege. It is affection. The masses would be heartbroken if the people who govern them had to share a seat.

PLA troops are ‘the pride of the nation’ and ‘deeply respected by the people’ — according to official CCP media. Reality in a Chinese High-Speed Rail station: Dozens of soldiers forced to squat and kneel on the floor like this, using public seats as tables to eat their meals. This isn’t respect. This is terrible management, zero welfare, and zero dignity for the troops.

Shibuya gets criticised for its street girls. China stays quiet about its own — even though many of these women stand there not for glamour, but for their families. Behind every neon-lit corner is someone paying for a sibling’s school fees, a parent’s medicine, a child’s future. Compassion costs nothing. Judgement costs them everything.

Zhang Ziyu is 7’4” and 19. That is the product. Against small teams she scares people. They freeze. She drops the ball in. Against the US or France the skill is gone. Few minutes. Slow feet. Almost no game away from the rim. She lives on free throws. That is not talent. Two things made her. One: family. Both parents were national basketball players. She had height, access, and a path from day one. Two: the system. China hunts giants. If you are 223 cm, sports school will take you, protect your minutes, and call you the future. It does not build guards. It does not teach you to play 30 minutes against people who are not afraid. 1.4 billion people. Keep sending tall kids in. When if one can score on Iran, they call it a system.

In Liuyang they decided to improve the classic fireworks show by strapping the fireworks to drones. When the drones malfunctioned, the result was a shower of sparks and embers falling directly onto the spectators. People ran. Some hid under chairs. Grass and trees caught fire. Local authorities confirmed the fires were extinguished quickly and claimed no one was injured. The show continued the next night. This is what “innovation” looks like when the only metric that matters is spectacle.

Same checkpoint. Same river. Same wall of mud. Gyirong Port CCTV, Tibet. People running. Buildings and buses gone in seconds Rasuwagadhi / Timure, Nepal. Villages, bridge, hydropower sites gone the same morning. Official line: “泥石流发生在尼泊尔一侧.” The footage does not stop at the line. Weibo / Xiaohongshu, unfiltered: “监控里那些人跑的样子,和对面被冲走的人一模一样。” The way they run in the CCTV is identical to the people being swept away on the other side. “天灾面前没有国界,口岸两边都是人。” No border in front of a natural disaster. Both sides of the port are people. “去年刚冲掉友谊桥,今年口岸大楼又没了。这沟口到底适不适合住人。” Friendship Bridge last year. The inspection building this year. Is this valley mouth even livable? “人在自然面前就是蚂蚁。旗帜换了,泥石流不认。” Humans are ants in front of nature. The flag changes. The debris flow does not. “口岸修在河谷最窄的地方,两边都是送。” They built the port at the narrowest part of the valley. Both sides were sitting ducks. Against nature, everyone is the same.

Every time that island country comes up, the same people start laughing. “See? Look at their red-light areas. What a joke.” Then five minutes later they’re posting skyline photos covered in LED lights like neon equals virtue. I don’t know. Walk a few streets behind any shiny business district. Past the malls. Past the glass towers. You’ll find older blocks that never make it into promo videos. The same kind of quiet economy exists. Different language on the door, same arrangement inside. Big screens and bright lights don’t automatically mean a society is cleaner. Sometimes it just means the camera angle is better. It’s easy to point at someone else’s mess. Harder to admit your own city has corners people prefer not to film.

Brave PLA soldiers trying to block flood water using their bodies — a classic image of Chinese state propaganda in action. In the midst of devastating floods, state media showcases People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops heroically linking arms and forming human walls against raging torrents to “protect the people and the Party.” Videos and photos circulate widely, praising their sacrifice as the ultimate display of loyalty and bravery. But netizens often see through the optics: while soldiers do risk their lives in disaster relief (as in past major floods in Hebei, Anhui, or earlier 1998 events), these dramatic human-shield moments highlight deeper issues — inadequate infrastructure, rushed construction, and a system that prioritizes propaganda over prevention. Why rely on human bodies when better engineering, early warnings, and transparent governance could save more lives? This isn’t just heroism; it’s a window into how the CCP turns real emergencies into loyalty spectacles. What do you think — genuine sacrifice or carefully staged narrative for the cameras?

To our Malaysian and Singaporean friends, is this acceptable? Is it ok to take offering when fruits are expensive in the market? A woman claiming to be from Sichuan, China, who works as a bus driver in Singapore, was recently accused of filming herself picking up fruits left as roadside offerings. She said “this doesn’t count as stealing.” During the seventh lunar month, many in Singapore leave food by the roadside for wandering spirits. Taking it while incense is still burning is considered disrespectful. When you live in someone else’s country, do their taboos still apply to you?

Chinese student in New Zealand, Rita Jing (抖音 R!TA Jing), posted a video on 13 August 2026 while studying at a language school. In the video she says: “Many classmates here introduce themselves by only saying they are from Taiwan or from Hong Kong. Every time I hear this I feel speechless. Let me make it clear here: Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. There is no separate Taiwan or separate Hong Kong. The correct way is always Chinese Hong Kong, Chinese Taiwan.” Three days later (16 August), she posted another video in which she is visibly distressed, wiping tears and speaking with a shaking voice. She says the previous video caused her to receive a large volume of threatening private messages and thousands of critical comments on Instagram. She states she is “really scared,” does not want to be isolated as the only mainland Chinese student in her class, does not want to “become Mina,” and repeatedly asks people to stop scolding her. The same clip shows her packing clothes in her room. However, Subsequent reporting and her own later posts indicate she had also been trying to obtain a longer Australian student visa in order to remain overseas longer. That application was refused, and with her New Zealand visa approaching expiry she prepared to return to Shanghai. She really really doesn’t want to go back to China.
