Unhappy follow-up development.
They claim that they are performing their duties in accordance with the law, and all faults are the fault of the deceased. And it requires the mainland to strictly manage fishermen.

Our government is currently making every effort to restrict the dissemination and discussion of news. As long as we don't see news, we can consider it non-existent. Okay, good luck to those fishermen, because the government cannot protect them.

An interesting fact is mentioned here: the government recognizes the administrative and judicial power of the other side in the actual controlled territory, territorial sea, and airspace, and therefore cannot defend its rights.

This is basically acknowledging their independence.

Oh look, the first brave vassal has waved its flag

They won't. The way US works is that they show their strength, this gives their vassals in the Asia Pacific the idea that they have the full backing of US military. Thinking that, they try to make gains against China because they think that with the US on their side, China will back down from challenging them.

When China responds, the vassals will come crying to daddy US to cover them. Daddy US will simple say "did I ever say that I wanted you to provoke China? I simple sent my biggest naval forces in the area for the sailors to enjoy the Asia Pacific seas!". Then the US will start mobilizing its propaganda machine to promote the "China theory" to the rest of the world

A bridge got rammed, fascinating enough some of the people in the cars that fell survived because they landed right into the ship.

The ship’s impact tore away a section of the bridge in Guangzhou’s Nansha district, seen as a Greater Bay Area technology hub
Vessel’s captain arrested and one crew member injured in the incident, which saw five vehicles hurled from the structure

Two people died and three are still missing after a cargo ship rammed into a bridge over the Pearl River in Guangzhou, southern China on Thursday morning. A crew member was also injured.

An initial investigation has found that five vehicles – including one motorcycle – were on the Lixinsha bridge in the city’s Nansha district when it was hit by the empty ship, fracturing the structure.

Two of the vehicles plunged into the river while three landed on the vessel that was wedged beneath the gaping hole.

The Guangzhou bus company said earlier that one of its drivers was alone in his vehicle when it fell off the bridge. It is not yet known if he is among the casualties so far accounted for.

The captain of the cargo ship – which was on its way to Nansha from Foshan’s Nanhai district – has been arrested, according to a Beijing News report that cited a local national legislature representative.

Work to strengthen the bridge over the waterway, which connects Guangzhou to other Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities like Zhongshan and Shenzhen, began in 2022 because of safety concerns.

But the city’s transport department reported repeated delays, extending the completion date for the anti-collision and strengthening works from August 2022 to the same month this year.

Nansha – at the southern tip of the city in Guangdong province – is seen as a key zone for technological development in the GBA, the government scheme to integrate 11 southern Chinese cities into an economic powerhouse.

The State Council rolled out a plan in 2022 to turn the district into a hub for GBA technological innovation and cooperation by 2035.

Under the plan, Nansha will be the province’s centre for scientific cooperation with Hong Kong and Macau.

The central government has also vowed to support collaboration between mainland and Hong Kong research institutions, with the University of Science and Technology opening its Guangzhou campus in the district in the same year.

Can anyone explain why China is vering towards puritanism. Where increasingly violent and sexually suggestive content is being censored in movies, TV shows, video games and the internet. Even the skirts of TV presenters are now longer. China has a secular form of government its not like Iran where you have a religious form of government.

Why can't a secular society also be puritanical? If puritanical just means preserving public modesty and dignified behaviour/culture, then yes that is the mainstream accepted point of view on how society should be ordered here. Many women here prefer modest clothing, and some prefer revealing clothing, neither is restricted, but it's true that on national television modesty is required the same as how it is expected in schools, and other public institutions generally. I think this is fairly common around the world, even in the relatively immodest west.

Actually the range of dress I see here is much broader than what I saw living in the west, everything from modest type formal clothes to cosplay or even fetish type clothes (mostly 'lolita' type), hanfu and every type of modern fashion trend. I would say public mainstream culture has a few main 'types' of aesthetic, but there's also loads of subcultures that aren't supressed or anything. A huge one is skater aesthetic.

As for violence and sex in tv/games, some types of violence are pretty normalized, and sexual content sort of exists marginally (though nowhere near as much as in early reform period where the ban on pornographic content sort of went unenforced). I will say people here do find all the same types of violent and sexually explicit content that westerners find online, it's just not legal or so widely accessible. That seems fine to me, compared with how every western social media is now basically just a combo of porn ads, e-prostitutes, snuff-films and images from warzones, i think long term we'll notice a significant divergence in rates of PTSD, dissassociative disorder, and other mental health issues in China versus the west.
