How prevalent is this? My impression was that this was tested on a limited scale then ended because it was unpopular. I might’ve confused it for something else though.
Did you even read the article you linked? The only concrete claim this article makes as to government monitoring citizens’ internet activity is that services are required to log user data (messages sent, browsing history) for around 6 months. This is literally standard practice around the world.
The sentiment seems to vary quite a bit based on which platform you’re on. While scrolling Douyin (tik tok) I saw lots of pro-LGBT content and openly homosexual couples, lots of pride flags and so on (this compilation includes some of that). I also looked up the Baidu Baike articles on 跨性别 and 同性恋, and I thought they were really good. When it comes to state media, they also made some documentaries showing the LGBT community in a positive light. I also found this SCMP article quite insightful. Of course, we also shouldn’t forget that China has the world’s biggest gay dating app: Blued.
Of course you can use it, don’t be silly! The government doesn’t actively monitor your apps or internet activity.
Exactly! but the funny thing is, I’ve only seen these disclaimers on non-political videos.

I believe it was “永远吹冲锋号”. You can find it on Youtube

How does the US losing two aircraft carriers and running out of missiles way before China equate to China being worse off than the US?
Will you address the claim made in the article which you clearly only read the headline of:
In describing the outcome of the Congressional wargames, Rep. Mike Gallagher said that the U.S. used up almost all of its precision-guided missiles in a week. I assure you, China would not run out of missiles in a week.
You seem to just assume that the US can somehow magically appear missiles into existance, but I mean think about it, is it the US or China that deindustrialized? Also, why does the US wargame conclude that at least two US aircraft carriers would be downed in the first two weeks?

Thank you for your service 🙏
This will definitely turn the tide of the war 🤯
Does anyone actually understand the appeal of these streams? Is it just kids that watch it? or is it an NPC fetish like moist says?
Yeah it seems that the discourse varies a lot based on which platform you’re on. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the Baidu forums lol
I would much rather recommend you to find words to learn instead of characters, since this will actually let you understand the characters a lot better. Learning the words and the characters they are made out of will help you map the underlying meaning of the characters a lot better, since characters in themselves are hard to define using english words. Take for example “面” which if you look it up in a dictionary will be translated as: surface, flour, noodles, aspect, side. The meaning of this character will depend on what characters it is used in conjunction with, and so how will you be able to understand which of these meanings it has if you don’t know the words and grammar?
Also, I would strongly recommend that you start with focusing on listening instead of reading, since this will help you develop a better accent and it will make learning the characters a lot more effortless.
Additionally, understanding comments on social media is actually kind of an advanced skill, since you need a very good understanding of the culture and references.
Unpopular opinion: I like these changes
Not to mention the fact that captain america isn’t censored or anything in China.
Omg that’s so me
