Oh no, Liu Zhuo, Shandong has fallen. Can you not scare me right off the bat? What happened again? The lifelong event of the last generation—is someone getting married? No, it's a two-child family responding to the Party's call, and both kids have been brainwashed into a mess by the Party. What's the deal? On October 7, a parent in Shandong posted a video saying our two babies were eating breakfast, and suddenly, the sound of the flag raising and the national anthem at Tiananmen Square came from the TV—the bogus national anthem. Hearing the soldiers' national anthem on TV, my two babies suddenly sprang to their feet, dropped their chopsticks with a clatter, stretched out their thin little arms, and urgently observed a moment of silence toward the TV. Uh, oh no no, not a moment of silence, a salute. Oh my god, why are these two kids so abnormal? The parents hastily stated: What do you mean abnormal? Extremely normal and full of positive energy, it shocked the whole family, this is the future of the motherland! Give me a break, your own family has no future, let alone the motherland having a future. The comment section went completely wild. A warmhearted netizen asked: How long have the kids been like this? Haven't you taken them to the psychiatric department for a checkup? Ha, and another netizen matched it with a couplet: This isn't good enough; I usually sing along, crying while singing. I even have a horizontal scroll here: "Family of HarmonyOS", all checked into psychiatry.

Alright, picking up where we left off, you say the CCP brainwashes people, causing such misery to the soft underbelly of the Chinese people. And that's just through the TV screen; you haven't even seen the scene of the blood-red flag being raised at Tiananmen. What happened? Don't even mention it, even the editors of the party media couldn't hold it together. At the flag-raising scene at Tiananmen, a girl called the police on her boyfriend because he wasn't singing the national anthem. Ah, the girl said her boyfriend was just moving his mouth without making a sound, and even turned his head to pretend to be on a phone call. The girl suspected him on the spot: was he a spy sent by foreign forces? I almost threw up too. What kind of organic compound fertilizer is in this beauty's head? She's a total class-struggle fanatic, completely keeping pace with Xi Jinping's Cultural Revolution 2.0 reverse gear. A victim of the socialist iron fist. Netizens are all anxious, telling him to break up quickly. If you marry such a silly girl, even the kids you have will be raised into little Red Guards. The General Secretary is secretly amused while indicating that they can become whatever they want, just keep one thing in mind: don't jump off a cliff while holding our party-state's flag. You say, isn't this impossible to guard against? What's the meme about jumping off a cliff with a blood-red flag? Don't even mention it. It's the October 1st National Day of Mourning. To boost traffic, all kinds of Little Pinks are pulling out all the stops to show their loyalty. A Pink warrior, I don't know what went wrong in his brain, had a sudden inspiration to jump off a cliff with a red flag. Ah no, no, not jumping off a cliff, it was bungee jumping, bungee jumping. Oh my god, you scared the hell out of me! Can you stop speaking with such dramatic pauses? As it turned out, he really jumped. Ah, after tying the rope around his waist, he held up the five-star flag of the CCP's China, with a particularly tragic and heroic sentiment of sacrificing his life for a cause. He threw himself into the clear pool, almost hanging himself from the southeast branch. Netizens saw this guy showing loyalty in such an extreme way and commented, 'The big one is coming.' This is called 'willing to sacrifice everything, even daring to drag the motherland down with him.' The Party Mother says, 'If you don't want to live, that's fine, but don't drag Motherland along to jump!' He was completely determined to perish together with the Party Mother. Other netizens were catching spies on the spot, reporting to the property management, 'This person is suspected of maliciously trying to kill the Party, he must be shot!' Stock market netizens cried after watching it; it was too ominous. Running into such a jinx, the market plunged crazily, plummeting to the bottom. Bad review! It only fell to the bottom but didn't fall into the water; it didn't fall with enough effort. What does this mean? In a Chinese aquarium, a diver wearing an oxygen tank underwater held the national flag, swimming while scattering fish food, attracting a large group of fish to follow behind. It looked as if the fish were desperately chasing the five-star blood-red flag. Oh my god, has holding a flag to show loyalty really developed to underwater? Yeah, even the X account writer Cui Chenghao is impressed, saying, 'They've completely won.' Even the fish are being dragged in to take a stance. If they don't take a stance, are they really going to use bait to hook these fish? The fish were clearly just there to eat, but they were confusedly turned into the Party's propaganda material. Hurry up and fast-forward to surrounding the island and bombing the fish. If fish could talk, they would definitely curse your Party's ancestors for eight generations. 'You fucking feed me fish food and then arrange for me to chase after you? Do you think you're Fan Bingbing?' Ah, I'm completely speechless. Everything they do is elevated to a political level. It's not enough to kidnap the Chinese people; now they're kidnapping the fish too. So, did they get hit by a boomerang? A golden comment appeared in the comment section: 'It looks just like the 50-cent army eating the Communist Party's dog food. If they don't scatter the dog food, they'll naturally disperse.' That's it. If fate and timing align, you really can't stop an omen. And it never rains but it pours—a double disaster. The red flag falls, sinking to the bottom of the water. For those who don't understand, please refer to the sinking of the Titanic. Let me ask you, did you jump ship today?

Well, Huawei, the national brand claiming to be

Not to mention Huawei's refusal to say "retrieve" after pressing the Huawei phone's self-destruct button, just looking at Huawei, which is shooting itself in the foot with quality issues, it has really blackened its own name. And not just itself; it even blackened Xi Jinping along the way. Ah, a netizen named 'King of Poetry' once said: Huawei Maextro's brake pedal snapped—this is a good thing! This is responding to the call of General Secretary Xi Jinping to get rid of the brakes and step on the gas to work hard. Oh, so it's diving down the mountain road like this? That's what it means. Welding the foot to the gas pedal, no brakes needed. It's all caused by the 'alignment consciousness'. You tell me, is the General Secretary's appeal strong or what?

Speaking of alignment, netizens are urgently aligning with Dongchedi, completely setting off a trend of stepping on brake pedals. Stepping on the brake—some netizens tested the brake pedals of their own old tricycles. Hey, good, the result found that even with violent stepping, the tricycle pedals remained intact. Ah, a large number of netizens used this to mock the vehicle quality of the Maextro. Look here, ah, what to do? Does Huawei's Yu Chengdong still have room to refute? The key is that a group of people popped up, stepping on the metal flush valves in restrooms, and while stepping, they added captions: "Even toilet valves use metal parts, yet you dare to use plastic for your brake pedals?" As a result, the user's avatar and username were allegedly wiped by the platform. Netizens urgently warned in the comment section: "Buddy, how come your avatar disappeared after you flushed the toilet? Your username is gone too." Understood. Not only is there the 'far ahead' Huawei, but also the 'unpreventable' Huawei. Some netizens even pretended to explain for Yu Chengdong: "Listen up, remember this: when stepping on the brake pedal, using a 'short burst of strength' (cun jin) is 'respect' (zun); if you use too much force, that's called 'funeral' (dian), which is the big character in the middle of a wreath, representing the 'dian' character for offering food and drink to the deceased to express condolences." YES IT IS. Oh my god, this interpretation is 'far ahead', absolutely 'far ahead'. Some netizens also teased the Little Pink Huawei fans, saying: "Who doesn't know that Huawei is the backbone of the Chinese people? We owe Huawei too much. What's a snapped brake and a few lives lost? Aren't there many Huawei fans who want to sacrifice themselves for Huawei?" This completely choked Huawei and its fans. Some netizens had a wild imagination and summarized Huawei's public opinion disasters this year, saying: "Within a year, the national enterprise Huawei has created three internet public opinion souvenirs: the bamboo cicada, the public toilet sign, and the brake pedal bracket." If you say that, you're really OUT. There are four major items; you missed the big-mouthed fish doll. That's a 'far ahead' brand doll, from Chengdong's family. Speaking of which, after Dongchedi released the test video of three Huawei Maextro V800 brake pedal brackets snapping, netizens summarized in the related comments: "In just a few months, at Huawei's car launch, the car 'broke down' on stage, the paint around the VIN number peeled off, and it's rumored that the roof tent flew off while driving." After seeing this, there aren't many jokes left for Harmony Intelligent Mobility to make. Other netizens mocked: "Huawei has already forgiven the owner of the crashed car, what more do you want?" What kind of talk is that? I saw X account 'Lao Cui' summarize: Affected by the snapping of the brake pedal, the Maextro manufacturer, JAC Motors, encountered its second limit-down. Limit-down? Yes, it rebounded slightly at the close, but the downward trend is still obvious. In contrast, Xiaomi Auto surged 9.64% today, which is rare. Lei Jun said: "I'm moved to tears." Harmony Auto and Xiaomi Auto have formed a seesaw effect, and conspiracy theories are spreading again. It's over. Some individual netizens believe that whoever benefits the most is the mastermind behind Dongchedi. Lei Jun said: "No way." However, regardless of who is manipulating behind the scenes, you just have to say whether you have a problem or not. After all, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you are a rotten egg, don't blame others for gossiping. Ren Zhengfei and Yu Chengdong both said: "The line is busy, please call again later." This is like saying "there is no 200 jin of silver buried here."

Speaking of which, just how intense is Huawei's PR crisis management this time? Even Xinhuanet couldn't withstand it. You'd think, "Xinhuanet? No way!" Yes, indeed. After Dongchedi's triple-break test video was released, public outrage surged. On October 8, Xinhuanet actually reported on it—in fact, acting as a megaphone for Huawei—stating that Maextro had responded to the issue of the vehicle's brake pedal bracket snapping, and then went on with all that blah blah about "you're wrong, I'm right; I swapped it out for you in secret, so you should just be quietly grateful." Got it: money makes even party media turn the millstone. But after all, the topic mentioned words like "Maextro brake pedal snapped when stepped on." God knows how many unmentioned behind-the-scenes maneuvers happened later, but when you look for that Xinhua News Agency report now, it has completely vanished into thin air. Furthermore, all related entries on Weibo's trending searches have disappeared entirely. Holy shit, Huawei bossing around the Cyberspace Administration of China—truly "far ahead"! Didn't "Big Eyes" Li Chengpeng point this out? On October 9, Xinhua News Agency deleted its reposted statement regarding Maextro's response to the snapped brake incident. At the same time, among the top 50 trending searches on Weibo, every single related topic was wiped clean in one fell swoop. In addition, Dongchedi's video was deleted, resolving the problem thoroughly at its source. Later, a fake response attributed to Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA) circulated online, forging a HIMA statement claiming that Dongchedi's braking test "did not comply with national standards and general industry vehicle braking test norms," subtly hinting that the brake pedal had been stomped on with excessive force during testing. But HIMA never issued such a statement. In other words, someone was supposedly smearing it using "reverse tactics"—give me a break, "reverse tactics" smearing? Let me tell you, whether it was really an attempt to smear them is anyone's guess. Some netizens said this was an internal Huawei messaging script deliberately leaked by someone, not a public statement, but an internal one, labeling Dongchedi's test as "violent testing." Supposedly, the internal notice instructed: the team must not actively search for or watch related videos to boost engagement, must not actively bring this up with peers or customers, and must not reply online under any circumstances—absolutely do not respond. Li Chengpeng concluded by saying this battle goes far beyond auto reviews; it has descended into complete chaos. Verified by the X account Luo Xiang, on October 9, 2026, the relevant Dongchedi videos could no longer be viewed across multiple platforms, with the pages displaying: "Violations found following user complaints." Meanwhile, the official explanation released by Maextro remained accessible. One netizen commented: "Based on this alone, I will resolutely refuse to buy anything from this company." Xiaomi's boss Lei Jun remarked: "All employees, please put down the work in your hands and hurry up to hit like on this netizen's comment"—no longer bothering to conceal that competitors are sworn enemies. Writer Cui Chenghao observed: "When Harmony is in trouble, car makers from all directions hit like." And just now, Dongfeng Motor cleverly took advantage of the momentum, directly releasing a promotional video showcasing their car brake pedals, infuriating their Harmony peers to the point of rolling their eyes. Look here, netizens immediately caught the drift, reminiscing about the time Zhang Xiaoquan kitchen knives snapped while smashing garlic, and Wang Mazi knives immediately started a livestream, smashing garlic for an entire day until the host's arm and wrist nearly broke. Netizens have been stomping on Tesla's pedals almost to the point of sending them flying, going all out to demonstrate their steadfast sentiment that no matter how you stomp on it, it remains rock-solid. And don't forget Buick—they urgently released a silent commercial for their brake pedal, throwing out the boast that their brake pedals are harder than your car's crash beam. Look at that, a textbook rhythm of kicking someone while they're down! Toyota employees also jumped on the trend, showing off Toyota's automatic pedals with an all-metal structure, pushing the limits to see how hard they could stomp. When a drum breaks, everybody beats it; competitors definitely have something to say. Take a look here: all right, what's right and what's wrong is already crystal clear to the exploited chives and beasts of burden, so stop covering it up. Let's do an emergency poll: why do you think Huawei's million-yuan luxury car wasn't willing to use metal for the brake pedal bracket, opting instead for PP polypropylene plastic? Here are the choices: 1. Cheap production cost; 2. Reducing the electric vehicle's weight; 3. The carmaker sticking to practices used for cars under 100,000 yuan; 4. Can't figure it out, "ignorance is bliss." Hurry up and type your number in the comments section.
