Let’s enter today’s topic.
More than 170 killed and 200 injured, there will be terrorist attacks
There were two suicide bombings at Kabul Airport yesterday (26th), and more than 170 people are known to have died. Most of them are Afghans, and the other 13 are American soldiers, including 10 Marines, 2 soldiers and 1 sailor. In addition, 18 American soldiers were injured.
Today (27th), an Afghan Ministry of Public Health official told CNN that in addition to more than 170 people died, more than 200 people were injured. An anonymous insider predicts that the death toll may rise because there are still many people who are seriously injured and dying.
This is the heaviest attack on American soldiers in the past 20 years. It is also the first casualty of the US military in Afghanistan since the Trump administration and the Taliban signed a withdrawal agreement in February 2020.
A senior White House official said early this morning that “the threat still exists” and “it has risen.” CNN quoted the official as saying that Biden and his team are preparing for the possibility of another terrorist attack in the final days of the withdrawal.
The commander of the US Central Command and Marine Corps Admiral Mackenzie expressed his belief that the Islamic Congress of the terrorist organization will continue to launch attacks, which may include car bombs or airport rockets.
At today’s National Security Team meeting in the White House, national security officers warned Biden that “another terrorist attack may occur in Kabul.” The official said that the United States is taking the largest armed protection measures at Kabul Airport, but “the next few days of this mission will be the most dangerous period so far.”
A Western official stationed at the airport told Reuters that today (27th) the evacuation flight speeded up, and those with American passports were allowed to enter the airport.
“There are dead people everywhere” people are frightened “looking dull”
When the attack occurred, thousands of Afghans crowded the airport gate. An Afghan woman close to one of the explosions said, “People are very optimistic that the Taliban are now providing us with security and there will be no suicide attacks. But sadly, it still happened.”
A suicide bomber at the gate of the airport detonated the bomb, followed by a second explosion in the nearby Baron Hotel, followed by gunfire.
An eyewitness said, “People were burned alive and people couldn’t breathe.” Another Afghan man said, “There are dead people everywhere,” and he saw a woman with his own eyes, “wrapped in a blanket full of blood.” Fearing retaliation, they were interviewed by The Washington Post anonymously.
There are still many wounded with bloodstained faces nearby, and those who survived are helping them. According to the video information posted on social media, many injured people were pushed into the emergency room, where there are already many wounded.
A coordinator named “Alberto” introduced that the people who were sent to the hospital were “unable to speak, and many people were frightened. Their eyes were completely empty and dull. We rarely see such a situation.” .
Reporter and writer Mathieu Akins arrived at the scene less than an hour after the bombing. At that time, he heard the explosion at home and immediately “jumped on the motorcycle and hurried to the scene of the explosion.” He told CNN that the scene was “quite chaotic.”
During his time in Kabul, he had some adjustments to the explosion, so he was not particularly surprised. Since the fall of Kabul, Akins has been to the airport every day.
Aikins described in the video that only gunshots and sirens could be heard at the airport. Then he went to the hospital again, “This is really a very scary sight.” He said that “a lot of people poured in at the same time” and “this is a disaster.”
Zheng Shuang fined nearly 300 million “inferior artists” and rectified
Even before people have recovered from the terrorist attacks, a series of things have happened in mainland China. A hurricane suddenly blew up in the entertainment industry, and many artists were rectified.
Today (27th), Zheng Shuang, who was named one of the “Four Post-90s” by Nandu Entertainment Weekly, was punished. Both her personal and studio Weibo were permanently banned, and she was fined 299 million yuan for tax evasion. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of the Communist Party of China also ordered her not to be allowed to show again.
Zheng Shuang immediately responded, “Accept this decision and pay taxes and fines on time.”
The punishment results of the State Administration of Taxation of the Communist Party of China showed that Zheng Shuang did not declare 191 million yuan of personal income and 45,269,600 tax evasion from 2019 to 2020. Other underpaid taxes amounted to RMB 26,520,700. Various comprehensive penalties were fines of 299 million yuan.
The Shanghai Taxation Bureau stated that Zheng Shuang has paid all taxes and late fees, and there are still 218 million fines that have not been paid.
Immediately afterwards, the authorities imposed a total ban on Zheng Shuang, all participating shows stopped production and broadcasting, and some websites have removed works starring Zheng Shuang. Netizens exclaimed, “This is just kicking Zheng Shuang out of the showbiz.”
Zheng Shuang was punished mainly because of tax evasion under the Yin-Yang contract and the surrogacy incident earlier. These facts are exactly in line with the claims of “bad artists” circulating on the Internet.
A notice from the editor-in-chief of a certain TV station was circulating on the Internet, and the time indicated was August 25. The notice stated that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television had notified the “problem of bad artists”, including Huo Zun, Wu Yifan, Zheng Shuang, Zhao Wei, and Fan Bingbing, who had to “examine and clean up” their online and offline programs.
Ruby Lin’s studio canceled and implicated by Zhao Wei?
Today (27th) there is another news that Ruby Lin’s “Dongyang Hengdian Lin Xinru Film and Television Culture Studio” in mainland China suddenly undergoes a business change, and the status of the company has changed from “existence” to “deregistration”. The reason given is “resolution to dissolve” .
Some netizens revealed on Weibo that Liu Caihong, a partner of Ruby Lin’s studio, was involved in a lawsuit and had to bear 36 million yuan in civil compensation. If Ruby Lin’s studio is not cancelled, the flow of funds is likely to be hindered by court coercive measures.
We don’t know whether this explanation is true or not, but because Zhao Wei, who co-starred in “Han Zhu Ge Ge” and formed a friendship, just had an accident, so outside speculation may not be simple, it may be implicated by Zhao Wei. But for what reason, we still need to continue to look at it.
Has Zhao Wei been chased after wearing the Japanese military flag for 20 years?
Speaking of Zhao Wei, the punishment for her came relatively suddenly, and people didn’t notice it beforehand.
Yesterday (26th) night, some netizens discovered that all the works starring and participating in Zhao Wei were taken off the shelves without warning, and Weibo Chaohua was suddenly closed. Many video websites confirmed that they did receive a temporary notice requesting the deletion of Zhao Wei’s work, but the specific reason is not clear.
By about 10 o’clock last night, I searched for “Zhao Wei” on some video websites, and the results showed that “According to relevant laws, regulations and policies, the results were not displayed”, or “No related videos were found.”
In addition, since August 15th, Zhao Wei’s personal Weibo has not been updated. For an artist, this means that her traces have disappeared.
The official hasn’t clearly stated what the punishment was for Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei has not responded. Therefore, various theories in the market followed one after another. One of them was that on December 3, 2001, Zhao Wei wore a Japanese military flag to shoot the cover of “Fashion” magazine.
Someone posted an old photo of Zhao Wei at the time, and Zhao Wei in the picture was indeed wearing a Japanese military flag. It is said that when Zhao Wei took this photo, it was only four months after the then Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited the Yasukuni Shrine.
After this old photo was thrown out, many netizens went to Zhao Wei’s Weibo to “fill water”, and some even scolded her for “Jing Ri” and so on. Perhaps because of this old photo 20 years ago, Zhao Wei was included in the list of “bad artists”.
But there is another news that seems to show that Zhao Wei’s problem is not simple.
Zhao Wei was “please have tea”? Is it related to Jack Ma again?
After Zhao Wei was punished, artists who had had a good relationship with her, including Huang Xiaoming and Yang Zi, urgently deleted all Weibo related to her.
If it’s just because of the “bad artists” problem, in fact, you only need to “get off” and you don’t need to delete all related Weibo. “Get off” means to unfollow and stop contacting each other.
Yesterday (26th) night, before the news that Zhao Wei was completely banned, a person named “Fei Ge Payu” posted a post: “Well, let me put a melon, a female artist was invited to go. Drinking tea, it is very serious. It is said that all the works may have to be taken off the shelves, and they are still being seen.”
There is no mention of who the female artist is in this news, but based on various sources of news, the female artist is probably referring to Zhao Wei. So why was Zhao Wei “please have tea” for what?
A Ms. Yao who is close to the entertainment industry told Free Asia that Zhao Wei’s main problem “is still related to Alibaba.” Ms. Yao said, “If it’s because she is not patriotic, because she is not patriotic, or because of tax evasion and tax evasion, they (the government) will immediately explain the reason. This time it is very mysterious. The incident, coupled with the current earthquake in the officialdom of Zhejiang, so I personally think it has something to do with Ali’s affairs in Zhejiang.”
In 2011, Zhao Wei became a shareholder of Tang De, which had just gone public, with a return rate of 150 times that gave her the sweetness of doing business. Because of this, she got to know Jack Ma later, who is Jack Ma.
In 2014, Zhao Wei and her husband Huang Youlong spent 3.1 billion to buy 1.93 billion shares of Alibaba Pictures. The shareholding ratio is as high as 9.81%, making it the second largest shareholder of Alibaba Pictures. And in April 2015, he made 2.4 billion in one go, giving Zhao Wei the title of “female Buffett”.
Also in 2015, Ant Group carried out a round of financing and invited some institutions to buy shares. Among the shareholders of Ant, there is a person named Wei Qiying, who is Zhao Wei’s mother. Another shareholder is the “Zhou Family”.
On August 21, Zhou Jiangyong, secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, was investigated. Immediately there was news from the media that Zhou’s family bought 500 million equity before the IPO of a financial technology company in Zhejiang. But then the company’s listing was suspended, and the Zhou family was returned 520 million.
The Ant Group issued a special statement for this the next day to “refute rumors”, stating that there was no share-holding situation of relevant personnel mentioned in the “rumors” in the previous stock offering, let alone any surprise share-holdings and refunds.
But on the third day (August 23), Hangzhou officials announced that it would start an operation to clean up the relationship between government and business. According to the official, this special governance covers all the city management leaders who are in service, retired and resigned in the past three years, and regulates the behavior of the spouses, children and spouses of the leaders in business and enterprises.
The time is so tight, obviously the focus is on Zhou Jiangyong. If Zhou Jiangyong is a “political”, then who is “business“? Apart from Jack Ma, who else is there?
Let’s look down and see how big this melon is.
Nearly 70% of the U.S. stand alone and more than half support force to protect Taiwan
According to public information of the Taiwan Air Force, after the first Z-9 anti-submarine helicopters and Z-8 helicopters were sent yesterday, the CCP military today (27th) sent the same aircraft to harass Taiwan.
Shu Xiaohuang, a researcher at the National Defense Security Institute of Taiwan’s National Defense Think Tank, told Free Asia that the two types of aircraft that the CCP sent may have taken off from the CCP’s naval vessels to support naval anti-submarine warfare exercises.
This is also a further threat from the CCP to Taiwan after the Taliban captured Kabul. As analyzed by the French media, the CCP used the chaos in Afghanistan to warn Taiwan and test the determination of the United States to protect Taiwan.
The CCP has been using various methods to intimidate Taiwan’s cultural and military attacks, and it is ready to move. It looks scary with its teeth and claws. But in fact, the CCP has not dared to move because it is worried that the United States will use force to help defend Taiwan, which might cause fire.
The United States is a democratic country, and its work is mainly based on public opinion. So what is the public opinion of the United States regarding the defense of Taiwan by force?
Yesterday (26th), the US think tank “Chicago Council on Global Affairs” announced the latest poll results. It shows that if the CCP invades Taiwan, most people agree that the U.S. military will use force to defend Taiwan. This is the highest rate recorded in any survey since the question was first raised in 1982.
The survey results show that 69% of the respondents support the United States to recognize Taiwan as an independent country, 65% support Taiwan’s entry into an international organization, 57% support the signing of a free trade agreement between the United States and Taiwan, and 53% support the formal signing of the United States and Taiwan. In the alliance, 46% of the people clearly promised that the US military would defend Taiwan when the CCP invaded Taiwan.
The investigator said that one of the important factors for respondents to support Taiwan is their distrust of China (the CCP). 61% of the respondents regard China (the CCP) as a competitor or adversary, and 60% of Americans regard Taiwan as an ally or necessary partner.
World leaders ranked last among Xi Jinping
Yesterday (26th) there was another interesting poll published by YouGov, a well-known British market research and data analysis company. From July 9th to August 10th, this polling company conducted a questionnaire survey of the people of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and the United States to find out how they like the leaders of the world’s major powers. .
International leaders with positive views receive positive points, and leaders with negative views receive negative points. Then the positive and negative points are added together, and the final number is the net score.
In the end, President Xi Jinping of the Chinese Communist Party “lived up to expectations” and successfully won the “bottom one.” Don’t make a mistake, it’s the “bottom one”, not the “first”. “The bottom one” means the bottom one and the worst one.
The survey results show that Xi Jinping got -53 in the UK, -58 in Germany, -59 in France, -63 in Denmark, -61 in Sweden, -58 in Spain, and -50 in Italy. Xi Jinping’s average net score is -55.
In fact, the results of this poll are not surprising. This is because after Xi Jinping came to power, the wolf-war diplomacy was carried out internationally, gradually diverging from the international community; the brutal suppression of the people at home seemed to bring China back to the Mao Zedong era.
These actions of the Beijing authorities have not only made the CCP’s international relations more and more rigid, but also made people in many countries have increasingly negative views of the CCP and Xi Jinping himself. Therefore, Xi Jinping’s “dimension one” should be expected.
The good in human nature
Next, in the section “Goodness in Human Nature”, I will share with you the story of the philanthropist Mr. Smith. He donates a huge amount of charity money every year. When a reporter asked him why he did this, Smith recounted his personal experience.
The year he graduated from high school, Smith got a job driving a taxi. On the first day of work, he happily drove a taxi and went to the streets to pick up work. After a long time, finally saw someone beckoning to him, so Smith drove the car over with a hint of excitement.
The passenger was a stylishly dressed lady. Smith delivered the lady to the destination smoothly. The meter showed that it was 20 dollars. Smith said, “Today is the first time I get out of the car, and you are my first passenger again. So let me charge you 18 dollars.”
Unfortunately, the passenger did not bring any change, and there were all hundred yuan bills in his wallet. And Smith was not prepared for change due to lack of experience. The passenger said, “I’m working in this building. Wait for me here. I’ll go up and get the change.”
Smith looked at the lady and let her get out of the car. But after waiting in the car for half an hour, the lady did not go downstairs. Smith was a little anxious, so he wanted to get out of the car and look for it.
At this moment, a policeman came over and issued a ticket without distinction. The reason for the police was to stop at a traffic artery, obstructing traffic, and “a fine of 100 US dollars.” On the first day of work, the first business, did not earn a penny, but got a 100 yuan fine.
But soon, Smith’s second business came. It was a tourist who came to travel and couldn’t find his way back to the hotel. Smith knew that the tourist was going to the hotel, just cross the road, turn two turns, and drive five or six minutes.
Smith just wanted to show the tourists the way, and then he thought again: The woman just hurt me so hard, why not slaughter this passenger? So Smith got the tourists in the car and took a long lap to get to the hotel. He made a full 40 dollars on this single. Since then, every time Smith got out of the car, he always changed his way to slaughter guests.
One day, while waiting for a guest, Smith saw a “missing notice” in the newspaper. A woman named West Ham William was looking for a taxi driver.
The missing person notice stated that a taxi driver took her back to the company that day at a cost of $20, but he only charged $18. Because neither party brought the change, she had to go upstairs to get it, but there was a temporary delay. When she came out again, the driver was no longer seen. So she had to hand over the 20 dollars to the newspaper, hoping that the unknown well-meaning driver would come to collect it as soon as possible after seeing the notice. At the end of the missing person notice, West Ham also expressed his deep apologies.
Smith saw this missing person notice, holding the newspaper in his hand, his face burning. He kept the newspaper and kept it with him. Since then, Smith has always provided superb service every time he leaves the car.
Soon, it spread to ten or ten. Many people have heard that there was a kind taxi driver in their city, so people rushed to experience Smith’s special service.
Later, Smith founded his own taxi company with his good reputation and high-quality and kind service, and once became the industry leader.
Smith said with emotion: “I want to thank West Ham and all the people who have helped me. A conscience has a price, and only after I have given my heart will I have a kind return. This is the true meaning of my kindness!”
“True China” Painting Exhibition
Next, I will continue to show you the works of “True China”.
Today, I will show you a piece of work “A Heavy Code for Troubled Times” by Mr. Dacheng. There is a person who does not look normal on the screen, who is talking about something. Opposite him there were two policemen, one of whom was making notes with a smile on his face, and said to the man, “You said so well, go on to say, go home after you finish.” But the other policeman waved his hand and winked, signalling the man not to speak any more.
Mr. Dacheng stated in the text that he had worked as a public security officer in the mainland before and experienced the severe crackdown carried out by the CCP. The CCP’s crackdown has its targets, and people are arrested according to the proportion of the population in the jurisdiction. In order to complete the task, the local police wronged many people.
There are two sources of wronged people. One is recommended by various units to report to the police station for people who are usually petty theft and sluggish; the other is that the police go to the streets to look for them. All four kinds of people like “Speaking stubbornly and uneducated in high school” were all arrested.
At that time, in order to make up the number, a unit recommended a child named “Jiang Ersha”. The child confessed as a good thing, stole an old lady’s eggs when he was a child. At that time, the amount of the crime of theft was 60 yuan, and it took a long time for the police to make up this amount.
Later, Mr. Dacheng reported to the director of public security, who said, “This is an operation deployed nationwide, and there is no way. The troubled times will use heavy codes.”
Thank you, Mr. Dacheng, for presenting us the real China, showing the absurd years once again, and letting us see the evil of the CCP. I hope that more friends will come to participate in the “True China” call for paintings. All the works we show are like a sharp sword piercing the evil CCP.
This is the original intention of our “True China” call for paintings. We don’t require everyone to have high painting skills, as long as the content and information of the works can expose the CCP or reflect the tragic current situation of the Chinese people, it is included in our collection.
We are not asking everyone’s paintings to be comprehensive, it is impossible. The CCP’s crimes are too numerous to document, and a painting cannot be accommodated. So everyone can start with one thing and use one point to reflect the problem.
As long as you show the real China that you see, hear, and feel, it is a very good work. This is not only recording history, but also saving people. I hope everyone will participate. On the road to disintegrate the CCP, we can’t live without you!
Please send your work to our e-mail address [email protected]. I will show it in the program and upload it to YouLoke website. If you want to see the previous works, you can go to the Youleke website to watch and give a thumbs up to the works you like.
In addition, when everyone is submitting, please introduce the content of your paintings. Because I found that some works are well drawn, but there are some creative elements, we can not accurately grasp the author’s intention. So we need some explanations, which can help us better understand the meaning of the work.
If your work is a secondary creation based on someone else’s work, please also explain where it was originally made. This is not only to respect the original author, but also to prevent us from infringing copyright.
