U.S. auto site Carscoops reports that the Punk Cat, an Euler owned by the mainland’s Great Wall Motor Co Ltd (GWM), was in the spotlight at the Shanghai Auto Show from 21 to 28, with its exterior and interior highly similar to the first-generation Volkswagen Beetle.
According to the comparison chart, the curved hood line, round headlight cluster, curvature of wheel arches, bumpers, steering wheel and many other aspects of the Punk Cat are almost the same as those of the Volkswagen Beetle.

In response to the suspected copying of the Punk Cat brand, Volkswagen Germany has told the media, “In response to any infringement of VW’s patents, we will investigate and reserve the right to take the necessary legal action.”
In addition to the Euler Punk Cat, the Tank 800 and Euler Speed Cat displayed by Great Wall Motor at the Shanghai Auto Show were also accused of plagiarism.
Wang Yi said the Chinese Communist-style democracy is not cola netizens divine comments angry bombing
On the evening of the 23rd, Wang Yi held a video conference with the Council on Foreign Relations, saying that “democracy is not Coca-Cola, the United States produces the original syrup, and the whole world has the same flavor.” He then argued that the Chinese Communist Party is practicing so-called “socialist democracy” that is “embraced by the people” and that if the West says that this “Chinese Communist-style democracy” is If the West says this “CCP-style democracy” is “authoritarian” and “dictatorial,” then it is “a sign of undemocracy.
Netizens said, “Democracy is not necessarily Coca-Cola, but Communism is definitely melamine.”
Some domestic netizens also said, “It’s not that he doesn’t understand the difference between autocracy and democracy, he’s not stupid, he’s just bad.”
Other netizens posted a quote from Hitler back in the day to compare the similarities and differences between Nazi democracy and Communist democracy, Hitler said, “The democracy that Germany wants is not the American democracy, nor the so-called democracy of the Soviet Union, but the democracy of Germanic characteristics. The most prominent feature of democracy with Germanic characteristics is to have a leadership core.”
Xi Jinping claps as CCP embarks on dangerous path of militarism
On April 25, the Chinese Communist Party media Xinhua reported “A formation of Chinese marine police vessels patrolled in my territorial waters of the Diaoyu Islands on April 25”. This one-sentence report openly revealed the CCP’s ambition to continue its expansion in the East China Sea.
25, Xinhua News Agency also reported at the same time “Japanese media: the U.S. military in the Diaoyu Islands around the air drop drill the same day Chinese ships and aircraft also came”. The report rarely reveals that the “Japan-US Security Treaty” Article V obliges the U.S. military to assume Japan’s defense mission. The head of Japan and the United States has repeatedly confirmed that the waters of the Diaoyu Islands also apply to the entry.
According to a commentary by Shen Zhou published in overseas media, the Chinese Communist Party media has always deliberately avoided key information about the U.S.-Japan alliance for fear of the Chinese people knowing about it, but this time Xinhua took the initiative to leak the relevant details, which should not be a mistake or a whim, but more likely to have the authorization of Xi Jinping.
It seems that the top echelons of the CCP have just redefined their perception of the Biden administration and have sensed the true attitude of the U.S. toward the CCP, but Xi Jinping seems to continue the hard line he has been pursuing for more than three months and is ready to directly confront and confront the U.S. military in a full-scale manner.
On April 25, Xinhua News Agency added a report, “Speeding up transformation construction to forge elite troops – President Xi Jinping’s attendance at the centralized handover and induction of three types of main naval warships drew strong reactions from the entire military”. The report said “the navy is loyal to the party, the ship travels 10,000 miles without losing its way”, “writing iron-blooded loyalty in the deep blue channel”, “to achieve the call to come, come to be able to fight, the battle will be won”, “to defend the security of the motherland and the people’s interests”. “to defend the security of the motherland and the happy life of the people”.
The so-called blue navy created by the CCP, including aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, are offensive weapons and are not intended for offshore defense. The CCP’s arms race has nothing to do with national defense, but rather the impatience to expand and fight for hegemony.
The CCP calls for the armed reunification of Taiwan, and directly confronts the U.S. military in the South China Sea in a high-profile manner, and also constantly threatens Southeast Asian countries and the safety of the world’s countries in the South China Sea shipping lanes; now the CCP is also provoking the U.S. and Japanese security systems in the East China Sea. The CCP’s arrogance and insouciance are bringing great risks to the Chinese nation.
Now, the Chinese Communist Party is caught in a four-sided struggle. The top echelon of the Chinese Communist Party has simply removed the veil of shame, in a vain attempt to use all Chinese people as cannon fodder for the Chinese Communist Party’s struggle for hegemony and fill the sea of people, so that China is falling into a huge crisis, and the tragedies caused by Nazi Germany and Japanese militarism are not far away.
How deep is the water behind the reversal of arrests in the Eastern Airlines escort case?
The Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines broke out a few days ago in a sexual bribery scandal, in which the female character is a party secretary stewardess Ni Gaoping, known as a “model stewardess”, who is a senior manager of the cabin department of China Eastern Airlines, was reported to have been instigated by her boss to pay sexual bribes to a higher-level official, Qiu Mou, and there are unsightly screenshots of WeChat to prove it. The supervisor was revealed to be Tian Hong, the party secretary and deputy general manager of China Eastern Airlines’ Jiangsu branch, while Qiu was unidentified.
Commentator Yue Shan’s article in the Epoch Times analyzed the incident, saying that the flight attendant involved denied the incident and reported it to the police claiming to have been falsely accused, while China Eastern Airlines refused to respond to whether the allegations were true, and at the same time pressured the media to delete the post through various connections. Now only three days before and after, Shanghai police quickly informed that the incident is fabricated, “rumor-monger” Qiumou has been detained.
This time, the Shanghai airport police took action to suppress the incident, the outside world can not get any evidence to confirm that the scandal is true. But we can still extend to dig the power behind the mystery.
There are at least two sensitive points in this wave of events, one of which is the suspected involvement of the top brass of China Eastern Airlines and the Civil Aviation Administration, which may be related to corruption and infighting. At the very least, the scandal has had a knock-on effect on the stability of the leadership of both China Eastern Airlines and the Civil Aviation Administration.
The Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines Corporation (China Eastern) has two major hub airports, Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, and Jiang Mianheng, son of Jiang Zemin, is a member of the board of directors of Shanghai Airport Group Corporation, among many other public positions. There have also been claims that Jiang Mianheng and Zeng Qinghong’s son, Zeng Wei, was also a director of China Eastern Airlines, although no official information on this can be found.
Liu Shaoyong, chairman of China Eastern Airlines, has deep roots in China’s aviation industry.
The former deputy secretary of the party group and general manager of China Southern Airlines Corporation and chairman of China Southern Airlines Corporation, Si Xianmin, who had close ties with Liu Shaoyong, was investigated in November 2015. In the early years, the mainland media revealed that China Southern Airlines took extra care of the travel of Wan Qingliang, the vice governor of Guangdong Province, who is closely associated with Jiang faction Zhou Yongkang and Zeng Qinghong, not only by allowing him to select the most beautiful flight attendants, but also by preparing “luxurious” meals. When Wan Qingliang visited China Southern Airlines, he was also accompanied by Si Xianmin personally.
Therefore, this time, the Shanghai police quickly “solve” the case involved, on the one hand, because it will touch Liu Shaoyong and even the power of Jiang Mianheng’s family. On the other hand, the Shanghai authorities are afraid that the sex scandal will spread during the Party’s celebration, which will provoke the anger of the highest level of the Chinese Communist Party, and will result in the loss of their black hat.
As for the truth of the matter, God only knows until the collapse of this mongrel Red Dynasty!
Xi Jinping’s visit to Tsinghua just left Zhu Rongji’s “appearance” was blocked
The official website of Tsinghua University on the 24th news, the same day Tsinghua School of Economics and Management new building inauguration ceremony was held, as the first Dean of the College, the former Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, former Premier of the State Council Zhu Rongji, for the completion of the new building of economic management to make instructions.
Zhu Rongji, a Tsinghua student, was also the first dean of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management until he stepped down in 2001.
As of the afternoon of April 27, few mainland media outlets have reprinted or reported on Zhu Rongji’s instructions for the completion of the new Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management building.
According to Yanming Times, this indicates that Zhu Rongji has somehow followed Wen Jiabao’s footsteps and has also been blocked by the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda system. This is a sign that the process of change in the Chinese Communist Party is hitting the last bastion of the Communist regime – the ideological system of the Communist Party.

Zhao Ting wins Oscar for best director, Chinese Communist Party media silent, netizens reflect
Zhao Ting, a 39-year-old Chinese-American director born in China, won the 93rd Academy Award for Best Director for “Land of the Uninhabited,” making her the first Asian-American director to win the award and the second woman to win the honor in the 93-year history of the Academy Awards.
In accepting the award, Zhao Ting said that making the film reminded her of her childhood experience of playing the “Three Character Classic” word game with her father, and that she deeply felt the concept of “human nature is good at the beginning”.
Zhao Ting’s award-winning film “Land of the Unwanted” tells the story of a widow who sells all her belongings to live in a mobile home and live as a modern-day nomad in the wake of the 2010s U.S. recession.
Zhao Ting was once hailed by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media as “the pride of China”. But as Zhao Ting’s early interview with foreign media revealed, she said, “I grew up in China, a country full of lies. Zhao Ting became a “traitorous female director” and an “insult to China” and was blocked by the Chinese Communist Party authorities, and the film was suspected to have been withdrawn. The Communist Party-controlled media has restricted coverage of her.
After Zhao Ting was announced as the winner of the historic Academy Award for Best Director, none of the major official media outlets carried the news immediately. This year’s Oscar ceremony was also not broadcast in Hong Kong or on the mainland.
Prior to that, “Land of the Unwanted” had already won four awards, including the Golden Lion, the Venice Film Festival’s highest honor, the U.S. Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and the American Society of Film Critics’ Best Picture, Director, Cinematography and Posthumous Award.
