So, the clock has ticked to the year 2026, a year of "Red Horse and Red Sheep" (a year of unpredictable disasters) that is impossible to guard against. As we enter July and August, alongside Stephen Chow's comedy "Shaolin Women's Soccer," a thrilling and suspenseful nationwide anti-tyranny movement has broken out in such an absurd way.

Thrilling, suspenseful, and absurd—it is exactly like the box office success of "Shaolin Women's Soccer." No promotion, no warm-up, it just suddenly appeared, sweeping across China, with click rates constantly climbing and followers flocking to it. Wow, genius jokes are erupting endlessly, and hypnotic music is flowing like a river, rivaling the floods currently inundating various parts of the country.

Wait, after all that, what exactly is this mysterious thing? Hold your little hearts, and first listen to this hilarious, pure version.

Alright, back to the story. It is definitely a suddenly appearing nationwide "Shake the Bamboo Cicada" revolution, spreading virally and growing geometrically. It really is. Wait, I just realized, the "Hua-Yu music chart" you mentioned earlier, is it "Hua" for Huawei and "Yu" for Richard Yu?

Sorry, I dare not answer in Chinese, I can only weakly say: YES IT IS. Correct answer, plus ten points. Frustrating, the Bamboo Cicada vs. Huawei's Richard Yu, let the joyful farce begin.

Speaking of which, the initiator of this matter is indeed Huawei's boss Yu. Why do I say that? Because at the AITO press conference, Richard Yu dropped a huge bombshell, saying that the Huawei AITO M9 is the "best SUV under 10 million." As a result, the audience below was particularly enthusiastic, making continuous "wa-wa" sounds, creating a tragic golden sentence: At the Huawei press conference, one could only hear the sound of "wa." Wouldn't you say that's just asking for trouble?

To be fair, netizens' imaginations are truly sharp. With this "wa-wa" at the Huawei press conference, some immediately felt a connection to their childhood memories: Doesn't this sound just like the bamboo cicada I played with when I was a kid? It's exactly the same when you shake it. Perfect.

In an era of nationwide self-media, could creators let this material go? Let the editors get to work. Thus, imitating Richard Yu's rhetoric, combined with copy like "the best toy under 10 million," became the professional short video theme for meme-making. Everyone, listen, does it sound like the "wa-wa-wa" at the scene?

This boomerang effect came on so suddenly. In fact, the exaggerated performance of Boss Yu this time, combined with the over-the-top efforts of the plants in the audience, created several comedic moments. One of them, this “this” from Yu Chengdong, has also become an object of imitation among netizens. Look here, ah, it’s just something else. The mass imitation movement is unprecedented; even babies have joined in.

This unprecedented spectacle is quite something. The “best SUV under 10 million” directly turned into the “best cicada toy under 10 million.” In the internet age, everyone is playing with memes and everyone is happy. Letting everyone have a laugh is even helping Huawei cars with their publicity. You should consider it a good thing.

Yu Chengdong slapped his thigh: If I had your ideological awareness earlier, I would have shared the joy with everyone long ago. But, the sensitive little heart of our Huawei family doesn’t think so.

Then what do you think? We think the little “bamboo cicada” has seriously damaged the reputation of Huawei AITO. Shaking the bamboo cicada is an even more serious mockery of “far ahead.” Ah.

Such a glass heart. And Comrade Yu Chengdong’s “this, this, ah, ah” is sacred, inviolable, and exclusively inimitable, so it must be subject to grand complaints, large-scale complaints.

The result was particularly delightful: a large number of related videos were taken down one after another. Taken down. Some bloggers acted innocent, saying their previous videos introducing the “bamboo cicada” did not imply any enterprise or individual, but they were successfully reported by Huawei for damaging the public image of the enterprise and entrepreneur, and infringing on their right to reputation.

What is all this? This blogger said we are “angry from embarrassment,” not even letting people play with childhood toys; it’s too overbearing. Look here, I’m speechless too. Gagging, account bans, and takedowns—the whole package.

Even more overbearing things followed. A regular little girl was playing with a bamboo cicada on the side of the road, and the comment section of the video was completely restricted. What is going on? Huawei’s overbearing approach quickly angered the entire internet. Soon, a massive number of articles criticizing the injustice appeared, only to be reported by Huawei and taken down. Are they sick?

However, the plot took a turn. Huawei crashed, and the boomerang arrived. The usual dirty tricks of complaints, post deletions, and lawyer letters hit a wall when they ran into the “bamboo cicada.” Boss Yu can forget about his feet.

This is no longer a matter of a single car owner or mobile phone user being crushed, but the intelligence and dignity of all ordinary people being collectively insulted by Huawei. So, more and more people know about this. Every netizen in China, as long as they have working arms, has rushed up to film various “wa wa wa” videos.

It’s great. The merchants selling “bamboo cicadas” must be making a fortune. This is a pie falling from the sky, hitting the bamboo cicada; weekly sales volume has soared by more than 6 times. The merchants are also smart; after a buyer asks about the bamboo cicada, as long as they say “what’s the code,” the merchant immediately taps out “far ahead.”

Hey, the dividends of “far ahead” have been completely rubbed raw. There are also babies who, not forgetting the well-diggers while drinking water, specifically went to Huawei stores to shake bamboo cicadas to express their respects to Huawei and Boss Yu. Look here, it’s over; the forever correct, forever leading, forever unquestionable Huawei is going to be finished.

Netizens discovered a wonderful coincidence: the bamboo cicada toy has a physical property—once its neck is pinched, it cannot make a sound. “Far ahead” is now also being choked by its own stupidity; it’s the same principle.

As netizens say, a bamboo toy worth a few yuan can make a trillion-level company reveal a posture of being unable to handle a joke. This textbook-level PR suicide has finally caused the national enterprise Huawei, which is below one person but above ten thousand, to lift the stone of arrogance and drop it on its own feet.

No wonder netizens commented sharply: “Flashy but hollow, acting recklessly.” A company that cannot even tolerate a bamboo cicada—do you dare to buy their products? Let’s have an emergency poll: tea friends, where do you think the problem lies in the disastrous failure of Huawei and Yu Chengdong’s bamboo cicada incident?

Here are the options: 1. Huawei is a party-managed enterprise, and like the Party, it has no freedom of speech. 2. The shop is big and bullies the customers; they’ve gotten used to it. 3. The Chinese people are full of anger toward the CCP and are using the party-enterprise Huawei as a target. 4. The Chinese people have already awakened. Hurry up and type the number in the comment section.

During the 3 years of pandemic lockdowns, when Chinese people were being tortured to the point of death or disability, many people online were reminding those in the country to “run if you can.” The word “run” became popular from that time on.

Right, the problem is, despite sounding the alarm and shouting “run” and talking about the “last window of opportunity” for several years, many people just didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was all noise, creating anxiety, and seriously interfering with their peaceful lives.

As a result, on August 1st, the babies living in their peaceful lives were directly punched in the face by the CCP’s iron fist. It came, didn’t it? And this happened when they thought the Party Central Committee was holding a meeting in Beidaihe to plan for their welfare.

That’s it.

Speaking of this,

Emergency broadcast of a piece of news.

Yesterday, the two of us talked about the Beidaihe mystery case.

Tea friends who haven’t watched it, go back and catch up.

In addition,

Our friend, News Outlook host Li Muyang,

Also did a topic on the Beidaihe “hand-tearing” conference today.

News Outlook, what new revelations does Li Muyang have?

Tea friends, we highly recommend you go check out his channel in a while.

The program link has already been placed in the description bar.

Continuing from the previous report, the CCP officially announced on August 1st that in order to better achieve a "leak-proof" internal circulation, a new "closed-door" policy is coming. The party media announced that the "New Regulations on Exit and Entry Administration" will officially take effect on September 15th.

The new regulations consist of 19 articles, and the core idea is that the passport you thought you rightfully owned no longer exists. From now on, passports belong to the Party and are kept by the Party. "Spontaneous travel" is a privilege reserved for the Zhao family. That's it. Emperor Steamed Bun (Xi Jinping) wants to close the doors and harvest the Chinese leeks.

A source within the system, Mr. Ge, secretly told an Epoch Times reporter that the new regulations haven't even been officially implemented yet, but our customs ports have already started enforcing them in advance. That's the situation.

In practice, on-site personnel conduct additional screening based on the departing traveler's occupation, destination, and past records in the system. For example, travelers heading to Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand are required to provide documents and personal files to explain the purpose of their trip, their itinerary, and related details.

Oh my god, are they going to back up this data directly to the telecom fraud parks? Sorry, I can't tell you that. Oh no. Furthermore, land ports in Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangdong, and Ruili in Yunnan, have also tightened exit inspections, requiring travelers to clearly explain their purpose and itinerary.

Fine, let's put aside whether it's a crime or not and just take a statement first. I strongly suspect that if I told customs my purpose and itinerary were to interview at a kidney-harvesting park in northern Myanmar, they would definitely let me through and even give me a high-five. Oh yeah. Isn't that malicious?

It is said that the CCP is planning to unleash another vicious move. Is it not vicious enough yet? Mr. Ge said that Emperor Steamed Bun intends to make an example of a few cases before the new measures are implemented on September 15th, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, slamming the table to frighten the cats, and starting the "conquering the empire" campaign.

In the past two days, the X account [Luo Xiang] received a tip from a netizen: a family of five of Chinese descent from Japan returned to China to visit relatives, and unfortunately became the chicken killed to scare the monkeys.

Speechless, this Japanese entrepreneur said, "I brought my whole family back to China to visit relatives on July 2nd, and we were preparing to return to Japan in late July. But 5 minutes before boarding, our whole family was barred from boarding. It's too outrageous."

"Then, they forced me to sign a 'Certificate of Restoration of Chinese Nationality.' We refused to sign, so they locked us in a small dark room for 7 full days, not letting us sleep or rest. It's too inhumane."

"Our family was also interrogated separately. They threatened us, saying that if we didn't cooperate, our three children could become orphans and be sent to welfare institutions in remote areas." Oh my god, that's too vicious. Why? If the children are sent to a welfare institution, wouldn't they just become organ donors for old cadres?

So, this Japanese-Chinese person finally had no choice but to cooperate in recording a televised confession in front of a camera: "I voluntarily renounce my Japanese nationality, restore my Chinese nationality, and cut off consular protection from the Japanese government."

It's over, it's really over. As soon as the televised confession ended, they were immediately told that they were banned from leaving the country until 2036, starting with at least ten years of internal circulation. No, is there any justice left?

This Japanese entrepreneur also said that he had immigrated to Japan 13 years ago and had been running a business in Japan for more than 20 years. His assets in Japan were nearly 80 million RMB, and he had more than 40 employees. After being detained in China, his business came to a complete standstill, and he doesn't know what to do. It's too outrageous.

He also said that he had previously seen the dissident Gui Minhai have his nationality "restored" and thought it was an isolated case that wouldn't happen to him. He didn't expect that now, there is nothing you can't imagine that the Communist Party won't do.

Do you understand now? Of course, we cannot verify what exactly happened in this case. Regardless, tea friends overseas, please don't think you are safe just because you have obtained a foreign nationality. If you dare to step into the jurisdiction of the CCP, there is a "forced restoration of Chinese nationality" waiting for you. Just wait and see; it's impossible to guard against.

Overseas Chinese who have left the CCP's territory, don't keep running back to the CCP's turf for no reason; there are too many lessons written in blood and tears.

Insiders say that this new CCP regulation is harshest on scientific and technical personnel. Anyone involved in so-called violations of export controls, violations of technology import and export management, or so-called threats to national security could be denied exit.

Look here.

It's dizzying. Publishing "false remarks"—anything the Party doesn't like counts as false remarks. Any criminal record is just a pretext. They are afraid of two things: rebels leaving, and wealthy or capable people leaving.

Not long ago, the two founders of Manus were the same; they are still not allowed to leave the country now. Tech elites like DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng and Moonshot AI's Yang Zhilin have probably already said goodbye to "free exit."

To put it nicely, it's called "keeping the fat water within the family," and the meat must rot in the CCP's pot. To put it bluntly, it's called "born a person of the CCP, and die a ghost of the CCP." General Secretary Xi indicated that it's better to be a ghost; it makes me feel at ease.

Network engineer Mr. Ding specifically warned that the authorities have not released a specific restricted list for the technology, chip, and artificial intelligence industries, which means that border control personnel have significant discretionary power.

Ah, they can re-verify a traveler's identity based on internal documents. With big data networking now, it is very easy to check the identity of people entering or leaving the country. As long as your answers are inconsistent with the information they hold, you won't be able to leave. What do you think can be done about this? You can only honestly let the Party slaughter you in the safest country in the world. Desperate, aren't you?

Netizens have already come forward to confirm this. One netizen said, the local police station contacted me, asking if I had any history of leaving the country or going abroad, and also demanded that I state my current city and the name of my workplace.

The police also required me to hold my ID card and take a photo with a watermarked camera showing the date, in front of a government department or the local police station, and send it to them. How nice it would be to have a rope tied around your neck. There is no way out.

Travel agencies everywhere have received notices requiring identity verification for tourists participating in overseas tours, and the submission of consent letters from their work units or neighborhood committees to prevent some people from leaving their tour groups while traveling abroad. It's simply nauseating.

Especially for those with foreign passports, they are being watched very closely, for fear that they will go out and not come back, and that they won't be able to harvest their overseas assets. The Party says the era of having it both ways is gone forever; the era of picking sides has arrived, and it is time to make a clean break.

By the way, it's a huge deal for Liu Zhuo, he didn't escape it. Xi Jinping's determination and will to purge dissidents, "even if there are thousands, I shall go," has completely exploded. Exploding is fine, but watch the frequency.

Last time it was that anti-corruption must never turn back, never slacken, never be merciful, and must maintain a high-pressure stance without wavering. This time, Comrade Steamed Bun is "turning the blade inward," performing self-castration. This works, the Seven Wounds Fist, killing the emperor, self-castration, isn't it smooth and flowing?

Recently, the Steamed Bun's lackey, Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Chen Wenqing, announced that starting from July this year, a one-year "deepened special campaign to crack down on organized crime and root out local gangs" would be launched. Cracking down on gangs—the world's biggest gang is cracking down on gangs. It seems that the white and gray have already been eaten clean, and now it's time for gangs to eat gangs.

Bo Xilai, the team leader of the Qincheng sewing machine group, said: "Complete nonsense, I am extremely angry. This is all stuff I left over from my own car crash, and the Steamed Bun still wants to crash it again."

Hey, the official media Xinhua News Agency reported on July 31 that CCP Politburo member and Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Chen Wenqing announced at the [National Special Campaign Conference on Cracking Down on Organized Crime and Rooting Out Local Gangs] that they would deepen the struggle, and that they must dare to turn the blade inward, fiercely strike at the "protective umbrellas" and "networks of relationships" of the gangs, blah blah blah.

They say they want to "strike at the protective umbrellas." Is there anything more twisted than this? There is no most twisted, only more twisted. There is no upper limit to being twisted.

On August 2, the CCP Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission posted an article on its WeChat official account to continue building momentum for the "struggle." First, they bluffed by saying that the normalized crackdown on gangs has achieved obvious results, then took a sharp turn, saying, however, gang-related crimes have "stubbornness, repeatability, complexity," and Party spirit. The Party spirit is not just generally strong.

Ah, so some gang-related crimes are hidden, deformed, and very difficult to deal with. Gang-related crimes are seriously eroding the Party, which is already a sickly little body, blah blah blah. Just hurry up and die, why suffer such foreign torture?

Comrade Steamed Bun says, no suffering, it's especially full of joy. Fighting with people is the most joyful, especially fighting against anti-Xi forces.

Doesn't independent commentator Cai Shenkun say that this year happens to be an important preparation period before the 21st CCP Congress, and also the sprint stage for Xi the Steamed Bun's fourth term ticket? The Steamed Bun plays high-pressure anti-corruption within the Party and cracks down on gangs outside the Party, with only one goal: high-pressure deterrence, not allowing any questioning or opposing voices inside or outside the Party, and whoever dares to block it will be finished. The purpose is extremely strong, and the means are extremely simple and crude.

Some netizens added that engaging in cracking down on gangs to facilitate Xi's re-election is certain. BUT, there is another purpose: striking at gangs is actually a gang-like strike; if you are labeled a gang, they can rob you, arrest you, and mess with you at will.

Ah, a thief crying "stop thief," starting to rob openly. That's exactly what Bo Xilai did in Chongqing back then. The CCP's crackdown on gangs is actually swatting flies around a cesspit. The attitude is very clear: absolutely do not solve problems from a systemic perspective, let's just have "campaign-style governance," which is fine. Whoever is reactionary, campaign against them. All that skill of "being able to retract and release at will" is used here.

It has been used more than once. When the constitution was amended for re-election in 2018, there were loud voices of opposition at home and abroad, and even within the system. The Steamed Bun high-profilely announced the launch of a three-year "special campaign to crack down on organized crime and root out local gangs." It seems it was more than three years, that's because three years wasn't enough to satisfy the craving.

In 2021, they came up with a straightforward one, promoting the normalization of the crackdown on gangs. Selective anti-corruption has also become a lifelong system. What do you say can be done? Nothing can be done.

So the special action posted on August 2 should be an enhanced version of the normalization. Catching the sensitive period before the 21st Congress, the Steamed Bun's intention to deter political rivals is not just generally full.

Even scholars within the system can't stand it anymore. Tang Renwu, a professor at the Institute of Government Management at Beijing Normal University, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that playing the enhanced version of the crackdown on gangs at this juncture has to do with the background of the times.

What does that mean? In the current Party-state, the economy is collapsing, jobs are disappearing, and there is full of resentment, ready to explode at any time. In this situation, grassroots organizations may rise up at any time, which is greatly unfavorable to the ruling authorities.

Isn't it deserved if things are unfavorable? Who let Emperor Steamed Bun (Xi Jinping) ruin the country like this? Professor Tang also said that it has been normalized for 8-9 years, yet the social hostility has not decreased at all, and has instead become increasingly severe. "Xianzhong" attacks are happening one after another.

Ordinary people say that after all the sweeping, the real black-evil forces are the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Look here, there's no way to talk about it. I'll just ask Emperor Steamed Bun: is a person selling a bowl of snail rice noodles a black-evil force? With this kind of sweeping, are people still allowed to live?

The local officials stated, "What 'not allowed to live' or whatever, this is just our 'normal suggestion' to individual street vendors, and no conflict occurred. Thank you." Tea friends, do you understand the CCP's "sweeping away black and evil" now? The General Secretary says, I don't care if you understand, I just want to know if you submit. Ah, alright.
