On August 14, 2026, investigative journalist Li Weiao disclosed during a field visit to the mountainous areas of Hanzhong, Shaanxi, that elderly left-behind farmers receive only 200 yuan in pension per month; living in straitened circumstances, they still have to stay up all night in the fields to ward off wild boars to make a living.
On August 7, 2026, a large number of depositors from Henan village and town banks left comments under journalist Li Weiao's Weibo post, accusing their accounts of being frozen and having no recourse after five years of rights defense. The platform subsequently classified the depositors' comments as harmful content and uniformly set them to be visible only to the poster, ultimately deleting the original Weibo post entirely.
In April 2023, reporter Li Weiao claimed that Zhang Jike had incurred massive gambling debts and handed over private images of Jing Tian to his creditors; the creditor who used the images to extort money from Jing Tian was later sentenced to 7 years for extortion.
