AdvertisementGiraffes might just be the next thing banned on China's social media. The post doesn't mention China and instead promotes US efforts to track down endangered giraffes in Africa using GPS technology. But on Weibo, China's version of X, the embassy's post mysteriously went viral, with 970,000 likes and 180,000 comments as of Tuesday evening. AdvertisementInvestors flooded the giraffe post last weekend with comments complaining about China's slumping stock market, as Bloomberg, CNN, and Reuters reported. Irate commenters were copy-pasting the headline of a state media article, published on the same day as the giraffe post, that said the "entire country is filled with optimism."

☆ A celebrity chef is getting canceled for making a video about egg fried rice close to the 63rd death anniversary of Mao Zedong's son

A Chinese celebrity chef is facing backlash over an egg fried rice tutorial he posted on Monday. Nationalists believe egg fried rice is a reference to an unconfirmed story of how Mao Anying died. Per the story, he stole eggs from the camp's supplies and cooked himself egg fried rice in broad daylight — a violation of army rules at the time. Critics of the Mao regime post photos of egg fried rice or make a point to eat the dish on this day. "Do ordinary folk eating egg fried rice have to skip a day?"

☆ Chinese people fed up with the rat race are calling themselves 'huminerals' — human resources to be relentlessly exploited and discarded
  + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The post's author, a user named Zhang Wanzhi, listed various aspects of a humineral's life. A humineral's life is divided into three stages, wrote Zhang, per CDT. The first is a Chinese person's formative and schooling years, which exist so the person can be "mined" and made available for usage, Zhang's post read. Then, the next few decades are a stage of "consumption" where the worker is exploited, the post read, according CDT. The origins of the term "humineral" are not immediately clear.

China's former leader Hu Jintao is lifted from his chair by a young aide at the closing of the Communist Party Congress on Saturday. Neither has the incident been reported in Chinese language media, or discussed on Chinese social media, where conversations around senior leaders are highly restricted. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao is taken by the arm and escorted out. “For whatever reasons, Xi ordered Hu to be escorted out when he must have thought that Hu might not behave exactly as Xi would have wanted,” he said. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao pats the shoulder of his protege, Premier Li Keqiang.
