Hello everyone, welcome to Qi Qi Ba Ba, I am Qi Qi. The CCP, you know, issued a document back in August, and it seems many friends haven't taken it to heart yet. I don't know why so few people are paying attention. It's the National Defense Mobilization Law of the People's Republic of China; they revised it, and it officially went into effect on October 1st. This new law stipulates that after the state decides to implement national defense mobilization, all civilian resources used by organizations or individuals, such as facilities, equipment, means of transport, and venues, can be requisitioned according to the law.
If you refuse or delay in fulfilling the relevant obligations, you will be forced to comply. To put it bluntly, they can just come and take it. At the same time, this new law further incorporates ordinary citizens—if there are citizens—as well as enterprises, social organizations, strategic materials, military production capacity, and professional support, all into the national defense mobilization system. Previously, ordinary people and their businesses were not included, but this time they have all been added.
Therefore, your enterprise cannot refuse or delay military procurement, strategic material reserves, or professional support tasks; you must fulfill them immediately, or you will be fined. In addition, it also clarifies information management under the state of national defense mobilization, meaning you cannot fabricate or disseminate so-called false national defense mobilization information. Furthermore, especially after the state announces it has entered a state of mobilization, you must strengthen the management of various dissemination platforms, that is.
Information control, you can understand it as the Great Firewall being built higher and thicker. The publication and dissemination of any information will be subject to restrictions. Uh, although it is already restricted now, that is definitely a terrifying state of restriction. You can understand it as purely a one-man show; even now, if you post content that violates regulations, it might be deleted or taken down in a few minutes or a few hours, but in the future, you might not even be able to post it at all. So, I can basically summarize this change for you in one sentence:
Whatever the government wants you to do, you must do it immediately! No matter who you are, even if you are just an ordinary person, just an ordinary citizen, if I say you must do it, you have to do it right now. And then, whatever I want from you, I don't care who you are, even if you are an ordinary person, uh, if I say now that you must hand over the rice in your home, you have to obediently hand it over. If I say this rice is now a strategic material, you have to obediently hand it over, it's that simple! Previously, there were restrictions on status and region, but with this new law, almost every Chinese person is subject to this control; whatever I want, you must give. And it was officially implemented on October 1st, and the promotional video for it looks like this.
The newly revised National Defense Mobilization Law of the People's Republic of China was officially implemented on October 1st. The new law clarifies that the state implements a reserve force system. According to the needs of national defense mobilization, the state reserves the necessary reserve personnel based on the principles of moderate scale, scientific structure, reasonable layout, and dynamic updating. The new law also clarifies that males aged 18 to 60 and females aged 18 to 55 shall perform national defense duties in accordance with the law. At the same time, it lists exemption circumstances and implements subsidy policies.
The comment section is, of course, full of people saying, "Uh, I have a criminal record and a bad credit score, so I'm not suitable." "I don't have a Beijing household registration, can I go?" "Are there regulations on the years of social security?" "Hey, I'm in debt, my credit is bad, I have no social security, no fixed income, no medical insurance, may I ask if I can go?" "I have a case against me, I'm an undocumented resident, I have loans, and I have tattoos, can I go?" "I'm 36, I was laid off by my company, I can't find a job, many companies restrict applicants to under 35, so I can just go." There are also people saying things like, "Don't call me when drinking, but call me when there's a fight," or "I'm unemployed and can't find a job, I'm 47, can I join the army?" And so on and so forth. Actually, I find it a bit chilling, because uh, many Chinese friends treat it as...
This conscription propaganda is not about going to the front lines or joining the army, but about taking everything you have; as long as they ask for it, you have to give it. So now, look at the CCP, look at how Xi Jinping has been moving the military these past few years, checking and replacing the leadership of the troops one after another, and now modifying this so-called mobilization law. Does everyone really not realize that he is preparing to do it for real?
Yes, he is about to start grabbing, grabbing all the resources of all Chinese people. But, you see, for him to implement all of this, there is a prerequisite: the country must enter a state of war. So what will he do? Not to mention that there is still a group of such people in Taiwan, um.
Today is October 1st, National Day. I am in the treasure island of Taiwan, wishing the motherland a happy birthday, prosperity and strength. The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind,.
I.
Heading towards life.
Is it crooked?
If you really love a country, you are naturally suitable to live there, instead of trying your best to get to another country and standing on someone else's land saying, "I really love my previous country." If you were already born there, why did you leave it? So, uh, many Little Pinks will scold some friends who have left, saying, "You all say you like the United States or Taiwan, why don't you go there?" And then they say it's the same as these people; it's just talk. Can this be the same?
I believe many of them really want to go, but they can't! This is like, "Oh, you say now that I want Taiwan to occupy China, I say it with my mouth, can it be realized?" It can't, right? But these people have already left China and gone to other countries. They clearly had the opportunity to stay in China completely, so why did they leave? Since they love that place so much, what is the reason for fleeing? Don't people only want to run away when they hate a place? Internet's.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] Friends, good evening everyone. It is now 23:39. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I wanted to chat with you all. I want to see if anyone else shares my confusion, and I also want to hear some of your opinions. I am 32 years old this year, and my hometown is in a small county.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] For the past two years or so, I returned to my hometown to work for two years. My educational background is not high; I am a full-time vocational school graduate. My highest education is just from a vocational school, and after graduation, I took the exam for the Open University of China to get a bachelor's degree, which is non-full-time. Back in my day, I feel like people around us didn't really like going to school or studying. Anyway, I used to be the type of person who didn't like studying, so I didn't understand back then how important education is for finding a job nowadays.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] And actually, in the first two years after I first graduated, I had always looked for jobs here in Shenzhen. Maybe when I first entered society, I was young and my demands weren't that high, so the jobs I found were relatively easy clerical work. Back when I was young, maybe 3,000 or 4,000 yuan was enough to cover daily living expenses. So for someone young just entering society, it was enough.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] Then, until I returned to my hometown to work for two years in 2024, because of our local financial situation—it was considered a relatively stable position similar to a semi-official establishment, though not a formal one—this year, because the local bureau of finance couldn't pay out salaries, our position was dissolved.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] So I came back here to Shenzhen to look for a job again. I don't know if it's because I am already 32 years old and still unmarried, single and without children, that many companies are unwilling to hire someone of our age who is stuck in the middle. I also admit that my education is not particularly high; I might be in that awkward state where I am neither high-achieving nor low-achieving, and I probably can't compare with fresh college graduates. The work I did before was also clerical and lacked any technical content.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] Then I felt speechless. The point that caused my emotional breakdown was a company I went to interview with this afternoon. To be honest, their company didn't offer particularly great benefits or exceptionally high wages, but because I've been in Shenzhen for over a month now, my job hunting recently...
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] Maybe because I've been hunting for jobs lately, my mindset has somewhat collapsed. I feel like I might really be discarded by society. The company I interviewed with this afternoon didn't really meet my expectations overall, but I really urgently need a stable job right now. After communicating well with the company on all aspects, just when they were about to issue me an offer letter for me to report to work the next day, they added one more question online.
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] They said, "Pardon me for asking, are you currently married and have you given birth?" I told them that I am currently unmarried and have no children. I said I didn't know if the company cared much about this, worrying about instability or other reasons? I said that currently I have no plans to get married. I said I can be long-term and stable. We had already communicated well and were told to report the next day, but as soon as that last question was answered, they directly gave me a "sorry, it's not a fit."
[Video Clip · Older Unmarried Woman] That is, it's a mismatch. Do you guys understand how I felt at that time? It was already decided that I would report for work the next day, but suddenly, just because of my age and not being married or having kids, it caused them to worry that if I got in, I would fleece them for marriage leave or maternity leave, or something like that? I really don't understand why today's society treats our age this way...
Unmarried and childless women.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Why is it so unfriendly? Does that mean at our age we should just stay at home taking care of kids and doing housework? Shouldn't we come out to work? Shouldn't we come out to earn money? Anyway, I felt especially terrible inside at that time. I feel that perhaps when I went for the interview, if they told me after the interview even without giving me a reply, or if they directly felt that the position wasn't a match, I think I could accept those reasons.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] It's just that clearly everything had already been discussed pretty much, and then they added one last sentence, just because I am not married and haven't had children, you know, I don't know if everyone understands that feeling. At that time, I really suddenly felt my emotions breaking down a bit. I had already returned to my little rented apartment at that time, just sitting inside this rented apartment.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Let me calm down first.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Sorry, I was just a bit too emotional a moment ago. It was just that point, after coming back this afternoon, I was happily thinking that the next day I could go report for duty and start my new life, thinking about how I should work hard and things like that. As a result, just because of this, they suddenly told me it wasn't suitable, just because of this reason. I suddenly looked around my dozen-or-so-square-meter rented room, and I felt very heartbroken inside.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Although I know that I am not necessarily that outstanding or anything, at least if I am actually on the job and in my position, I will definitely do my own work well. I don't understand why they must be so unfriendly to women of our age? Is everyone's job hunting like this now? Just because I am over 30 and unmarried with no children, I don't deserve to work or have a job? Is it that once I start working, I will definitely take advantage of your marriage leave or maternity leave and things like that?
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Anyway, I just couldn't digest this issue the entire night. Actually, I am not a little girl who just stepped out to work, and I don't know why my heart is getting more and more fragile. I just find it very hard to accept this reason, and I don't know if you all would be like this too. I really, really feel very upset and aggrieved inside. I recorded this video a few times, back and forth.
Just.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Halfway through recording, I always couldn't control my emotions and couldn't publish it. It's not that I want to act pathetic or anything, I just wanted to chat with everyone, just wanted to hear everyone's opinions and see if you can give me some good suggestions? Right now I really don't know what I can do. Right now even finding a Taobao customer service job, just some basic customer service work, I think my typing and computer skills—
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Things like office software, I have no problem with them at all. I don't know why, even now when I try to find a customer service job, people feel I am not suitable. I really don't know where the problem lies. Is it because of my age? Or is it because of something else? I really cannot figure it out.
Anyway, my heart really, really hurts.
[Video Clip - Older Unmarried Woman] Having been out for over a month and still not finding a suitable job, I really feel very uncomfortable inside.
[Video Clip - Researcher] Why are master's and doctoral students all heavy drinkers and sports majors? Because if you don't go drink, if you don't go exercise, you truly cannot metabolize that pain which you don't know how to explain to others. This kind of pain cannot be dispelled just by studying or trying to change things. If it's a matter of scientific research skills, like I don't know how to draw this chart, I can search online and figure out step by step what software to use to draw it. But that kind of pain is a blow to one's self-existence and personality, which is this experiment.
[Video Clip · Researcher] I followed the experimental method step by step, but it failed. You don't know the reason either. In many cases of scientific breakthroughs, there is no one to provide you with a solution; it just fails, and you only make mistakes. But in this process, no one gives you a solution, and you don't know where the solution is. All you know is that I can't take it anymore, I feel terrible, and I want to escape. What should I do? I'll go exercise, or I'll go have a drink. Once I exercise, that dopamine and those endorphins kick in, and I can temporarily forget that in the matter of scientific research, I am temporarily powerless and cannot find a solution.
Right, right, right, exactly, that's it. Actually, many friends might not know that, besides the fact that it's impossible to find a job in China right now, wage arrears and the inability to pay wages have become the norm. Don't look at those who have jobs; whether their wages can be paid stably is a huge problem. Many have to wait several months before they can get their wages, and some haven't even been paid for four or five months. So, really, how to survive—I truly don't know where the way out is. And the CCP, all it thinks about is how to plunder.
