Yiwu Development · Full chronicle and history

Shenzhen Metro issued a notice on its official WeChat account and Weibo, announcing that starting from July 20, it will fully implement "person-bag simultaneous inspection." All passengers' carry-on luggage must be scanned, and passengers must also undergo security checks via handheld devices.

The website of the CCP Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Wu Changyu, former Deputy Party Secretary and General Manager of China Three Gorges Corporation Yunnan Energy Investment Co., Ltd., has been expelled from the Party and public office.

The "2026 Henley Passport Index" report shows that mainland Chinese passports can travel visa-free to 83 destinations, ranking 60th.

Insiders in the domestic financial industry reveal that some financial professionals, in order to avoid risks, are resorting to methods such as obtaining doctor's notes or intentionally getting caught for drunk driving to resign early, so they can retrieve their passports and run overseas.

Screenshots circulating on Weibo show that the CCP is requiring personnel in the system to surrender their passports, with some units even demanding the "voluntary cancellation" of passports and conducting audits of overseas travel records from the past five years.

Starting July 20, Shenzhen Metro will upgrade random inspections to a “check every bag, check every person” policy, requiring all passengers to undergo luggage X‑ray and personal security screening, with queues exceeding 20 minutes during the morning and evening peaks.

On July 13, the Cyberspace Administration Bureau of China's Ministry of Public Security announced 25 typical cases of illegal and criminal activities involving online rumors related to floods and disasters. Among them, 4 people were criminally detained, and 23 people received administrative penalties.

The "Zhi Jiang Xin Yu" column of Zhejiang Daily published an article titled "Integrating Dialectics into Every Business Opportunity," which explains the meaning of "inexplicable" (mo ming qi miao).

During a research symposium in Yiwu, then-Zhejiang Party Secretary Xi Jinping summarized the commercial rise of Yiwu as 'inexplicable,' 'creating something from nothing,' and 'turning stones into gold.'

Before his research trip to Yiwu in March 2006, Xi Jinping once used the term "inexplicable" to describe Yiwu's development.
