Someone in China's cyberspace posted a message saying that since June this year, Anhui law enforcement units have arrested more than 50 danmei novel authors across the province because they published works describing male love on the Taiwanese website Haitang Literature City.https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598

The specific crime was suspected of producing and disseminating obscene materials for profit, and some of them were sentenced to five years in prison. https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598 It is said that some of the arrested people raised funds to pay the fines and seek lighter sentences.https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598

After the incident was exposed, the public's focus was on whether the local government's law enforcement was "distant-sea fishing", that is, using cross-provincial arrests to collect fines or freeze assets to fill its own financial gap. https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598 In addition, the sentencing standards were also questioned. https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598

Almost at the same time, Jinjiang Literature City, another online novel platform registered in Beijing, was summoned by the Xijiang Consumer Rights Organization, which also caused controversy.https://gillspaste.com/mrzj7ar76s?key=7e42ce9c401f67ed28841a0daafd1598

President-elect Donald Trump ran on a platform of isolating the US from foreign conflicts like the Ukraine war, increasing tariffs on foreign trade partners, and rebuilding domestic manufacturing. https://gillspaste.com/t6iz5nyyd?key=013bf037fe1ddd66a4b32fbd4a3fe88f But in recent days he has suggested a more outwardly aggressive approach for his foreign policy. At first, he joked about Canada being an additional US state. Since, he has threatened to  take back control of the Panama Canal . He also reiterated a desire from his first term to own the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland, which  is not for sale . https://gillspaste.com/t6iz5nyyd?key=013bf037fe1ddd66a4b32fbd4a3fe88f The US is unlikely to take control of any of these regions.   But these statements could indicate that Trump's "America First" vision includes flexing the superpower's muscle beyond its borders for US trade and national security interests.

  Ten years ago, doctor Ko Wen-je entered politics wearing a white robe, flaunting the image of a clean "political novice", attracting a large number of young supporters and middle-class voters. Ten years later, he was in prison in prison clothes. After being detained for more than 100 days on suspicion of corruption, the prosecutors formally asked the court to sentence him to 28 and a half years on December 26, 2024. The Taipei District Court ruled in the early morning of the 27th that Ko Wen-je should be released on bail of NT$30 million. The People's Party issued a statement criticizing this as a "political persecution." In the past ten years, Ko Wen-je has become a force that cannot be ignored in Taiwan's political arena - from his election as mayor of Taipei as an independent and the creation of the Taiwan People's Party, which is now the third largest party in the Congress, to his candidacy for the presidency this year to challenge the blue and g...
