中国崩溃的全球形象 过去四年，中国的全球形象大幅恶化。
In the past four years, China’s global image, which had been positive or at least neutral in many parts of the globe for the previous two decades, has deteriorated extensively. This deterioration has occurred not only among leading democracies such as the United States and Japan, with whom China already had prickly relations, but also among developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. China had enjoyed positive relations with states in these regions between the 1990s and late 2010s. In some parts of the world, ……

Fears Persist for Shanghai Doctor Who Blasted ‘Political Virus’
First and foremost, consider the possibility that Chinese authorities have become maniacal hypochondriacs, and, like most top-down authoritarian regimes, have engaged in irrational and destructive policymaking.
In the Chinese governmental system, there are very few guardrails to authoritarian behavior, so virtually nothing would be *too extreme* if the ends justify the means. China’s continuing ideology contends that individual rights are not of a concern. In fact, according to the CCP, this ideal of human freedom should be actively suppressed for the “greater good” of the state.

Border towns face tremendous pressure to keep coronavirus out under China’s stringent zero-Covid policy, with local officials periodically fired or punished for failing to contain any flare-ups that evade the tough measures.
Jingxi, a city of about 670,000 people, shares a 152-kilometer (94-mile) border with Vietnam. In neighboring Yunnan province, the city of Ruili was repeatedly locked down for months earlier this year due to imported Covid cases, sparking an outcry from local residents.
Since Tuesday, videos of the public shaming in Jingxi have gained wide attention on Chinese social media, drawing widespread criticism.
To many, the parade and placards hark back to the dark period of the Cultural Revolution. Five decades ago, public shaming exercises were a hallmark of the persecutions unleashed by Mao Zedong’s fervent Red Guards, becoming a symbol of the lawlessness and chaos of that decade of social turmoil.
In 1988, the Chinese government banned shaming parades for all suspected and convicted criminals, including those sentenced to death. But similar incidents have occurred repeatedly over the years, prompting criticism from state media – and more notices reiterating the ban from the government.

A senior Chinese official made a threat to historians aiming to study the country’s early COVID-19 response, advising them not to take “the wrong side,” the Financial Times reported.
According to the paper, the comments came at a closed-door event at which education official Wang Binglin went through topics that were likely to be marked classified and banned from study.
More than 100 government figures and scholars were there, the FT said.
Wang firstly warned historians against “playing up” the country’s historical Land Reform Movement, during which millions of landlords were killed and property redistributed under Mao Zedong’s rule, the FT reported.
