@Variety Variety this article has several mistakes. For example the short film's title is Chief Jia's Dance (贾科长Dance), it was made by the director himself. Here is the original post by Jia Zhangke himself on Weibo, which would be a better source for you to use: https://t.co/7tXbBsMwGZ

@lizziedearden Google AI summaries are awful, wish they could be easily turned off. However, they can be avoided by selecting the 'web' search function from the options under the search bar, which provides just the search results. None of the AI/summaries/questions etc

I wrote about the Chinese Uncle who followed IShowSpeed across China. Turns out his goal was to promote his hometown of Rongchang. There, he is a local internet celebrity who works to promote local businesses, support farmers, and do charity work.

[China Minutes @ChinaMinutes]

@SpeedExplore Uncle is Jiang Ge, who followed IShowSpeed around China to promote his hometown. He dedicates his time to promote his home, support farmers, and do charitable work. Read the story here:

I fear the people of Myanmar will have the same problems Syrians did following the 2023 earthquake. An authoritarian government stealing aid to line their pockets while preventing aid from reaching areas outside their control.

There was at least two arrests, the first as police (unsuccessfully) tried to clear protesters off the street then another as protesters tried to block the van taking the first arrested protesters away. Another protester got shoved to the ground.

[Robert Postings @RobertPostings]

Big protest today outside the old Royal Mint in Tower Hamlets - the proposed site of the new Chinese Embassy.

[Robert Postings @RobertPostings]

Which proves one of the organisers and protesters point - this is not a suitable location for the embassy as there’s simply not enough room for protests.
