A topic on Weibo hot search, 'Never buy cheap drinks online', has emerged. The reason may be that some drinks, after being soaked by floods, were salvaged by unscrupulous merchants and resold. Videos point out deficiencies in China's system for tracking and destroying goods after disasters.
A netizen returning from the front lines of the Hengzhou flood in Guangxi reported a phenomenon of 'receiving supplies based on connections' in the disaster area, and stated that the death toll would become a historical mystery. Volunteers also described the dire situation in the disaster area and the difficulties in distributing supplies.
The Xinhua News Agency's Ban Yue Tan magazine published an investigative report, exposing that public officials within the CCP system use their positions to obtain internal secrets in advance about officials being promoted or being arrested by the disciplinary committee, and then post them online in the form of “official resumes” or homophonic coded short videos, charging fees.
A WeChat public account published a detailed resume of Zhou Xianwang, Vice Chairman of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, on July 6, 2025. Two days later, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection officially announced Zhou Xianwang's downfall. This precise "timing" prediction is pointed to as being behind a lucrative business.
