[There’s a video of this, but I almost certainly won’t be able to upload it to youtube successfully.]

Comments say, “Analysis: Very smooth butt, flawless.”

“So Guo Degang was right. [Famous Chinese….standup comedian?] If you swim too fast, your trunks won’t be able to catch up.”

“No one needs to be ashamed at the Paris Olympics after that Opening Ceremony.”

#Thorough investigation into the hotel food Getamicin case. “In order to prevent “diarrhoea”, hotel head chef Sha and Fu put Gentamicin in their chicken stock braised fish maw or hoof tendon. At the time of the case, 101 boxes of Getamicin was discovered in the hotel, to everyone’s shock and horror. So far, the local prosecutor has initiated an administrative social lawsuit [basically a class action lawsuit headed by a government prosecutor], swearing to chase such an awful case of poisoning back down to its source and rip it up by the root.

On September 2023, Nantong’s 12345 hotline [a citizen’s complaints hotline to the mayor’s office] received a call from a hotel employee reporting, “Our hotel is adding Gentamicin injections to food. Can you guys tell me if this stuff is a legal additive or not?” Once the case was exposed, investigation revealed that the head chef at this hotel, Sha and Fu, added one injection of Sulphur Gentamicin to each table’s main entree, and has sold 1612 servings of drugged food, for 77326 RMB in total. Afterwards, in April 2024, both defendants were declared guilty of producing and selling harmful, poisoned food, and sentenced to 18 months and two years parole respectively, and were fined a total of 160K RMB.

Sulphur Gentamicin is a type of antibiotic, a prescription drug, and the cause of many children’s deafness. According to Food Safety Laws, it is a prescription drug that should never be added to food. Considering that diners might contain people who are allergic to Gentamicin, expecting mothers, and small children, adding prescription drugs to food is behaviour that severely harms the public’s health. It is insane and utterly lawless behaviour.

In particular, the reason they added Gentamicin to fish maw and hoof tendon in particular is because the chef were well aware that these “main entrees” contained high levels of protein. If the ingredients weren’t fresh enough, it’s very easy for bacteria to breed and spread, causing food poisoning. Therefore, adding Gentamicin meant that the chef themselves knew they were using spoiled ingredients, knew they could be causing food poisoning, and used criminal methods to cover up a different type of food safety violation. It’s not only extremely stupid, it’s also extremely greedy.

Even more worthy of note, this case showed entirely separate and yet coordinated cases of collectively breaking the law. Downstream, it’s a matter of violating food safety laws. But upstream, it’s a problem of illegally selling prescription drugs. The entire production chain worked together to harm the public’s health. It is necessary to systematically manage and treat this at the cause and initiate a total purge.

At the time of the case, 101 boxes of Gentamicin was discovered at the hotel. It was purchased by errand boy Zhang at the same store in a pharmacy chain. He always buys them 100 boxes at a time and has never provided a prescription. December of 2023, prosecutors initiated an administrative social suit against this case of illegally selling prescription drugs. After big data analysis, it was discovered that Nantong had multiple pharmacies selling injections of Gentamicing long-term. Afterwards, law enforcement suggested the Market Management Department investigate and give out administrative punishments for this behaviour, and begin a total sweep of illegal food additives.

A lot of details of this case are horrifying. The hotel was able to buy 100 cases of Gentamicin from a pharmacy at a time. No matter what circumstances, this is well beyond what any normal people could use. Which means, both the hotel and the pharmacy had to know exactly what they were doing, and were only pretending at ignorance, causing a closed loop of poison. Is this kind of thing an open secret in the industry?

We need to be especially grateful towards the whistleblower employee who made the call, and used his bravery to protect normal people’s morality. We also saw that the justice system, especially the prosecutors, did not merely focus on the case they were given, but used their deductive reasoning. It went from a single case to a problem with the whole industry, to investigating both the upstream and downstream. The local prosecutors were able to find the problematic pharmacies with big data and bring them to court, create suggestions for monitoring, and clean the problem up at the root.

People go to the hotel for banquets and pay for “main entrees” in order to commemorate the happiest moments of their life, and were harmed by Gentamicin fish maw and Gentamicin hoof tendon. This is unforgivable. This case should be the catalyst for a wide-scale total investigation into the illegal use of Gentamicin. Hopefully, relevant departments can work together with law enforcement and dig into this grey industry, suing big data and in-person law enforcement to investigate into how Gentamicin is flowing onto people’s tables? We need to protect the safety of our cuisine!”

Comments say, “What about cooking oil? Are we ever gonna hear how that resolves?”

“Just 160K for two years of doing this? No wonder no one’s afraid.”

“It’s the Nantong City, Chongchuan Bodhisattva Garden Hotel.”

A video of a man directing French audience at the Olympics to yell “Jia You!” [Ganbatte/fight/good luck.]

Comments say, “The funniest part is that a worker found someone waving a Taiwan flag and told them to put it away. Koreans be like, “See, they totally can tell the difference!””

“Now I’m looking forward to the 2026 Italian Winter Olympics.”

“I’m waiting for the Russian Friendship Games.”

“Was it these guys?”

“I may be wearing western clothes, but my heart belongs to China.”

“China: My fans line up from here all the way to France.”

“French people: I have no idea what I’m saying, but someone said this’ll piss off the Koreans so I joined in.”

“French Party Propaganda Centre XD”

“If you’re gonna put it this way, then this Olympics was ran pretty well!”

“I hear that the Korean team kept fucking with the Chinese team during marksmanship and archery and pissed off the overseas China. Now every competition that China’s in, they’re organising locals to yell Jiayou.”

“If this is how it’s gonna be, I’d say their Opening Ceremony was second only to Beijing’s.”

“French person, waking up every day all like, “Hey, I have an idea…””

“If they’re gonna do this then…then the Opening Ceremony wasn’t half bad!”

“French people: little surprise for Chinese-French relations 60 year anniversary.”

#Dalian uses photoshop to cover up problems again. “29th of February, Liaoning, Dalian’s Discipline Commission reported three cases of Performative and Bureaucratic Work, including a certain city manager Sun in a certain neighbourhood in Haikou District, guilty of “performing only with his fingers.”

The report claims that on May, 2023, Sun received a problem notice on his Dalian Smart City Management platform, showing that the district he is responsible for has problems of trash piling up around buildings illegally, requiring that he clean everything up before the deadline. Sun did not clean up the trash as requested, but instead used image-editing software to erase the trash in the complaint pictures two days before the deadline, and submitting his edited images as evidence of his work, causing a bad influence. On October, 2023, Sun was given a warning within the party.

Peng Pai News noticed that back in 2019, an official in Hubei, Wuhan was also punished for using edited images to fake evidence of work.”

Comments say, “He clearly didn’t have good enough photoshop skills, and just copy-pasted blindly.

“Digital city management, it’s literally exactly this as your job, hahahaha.”

“Lol, it’s Dalian again. Can’t we get any positive news?”

#Mental Patient dies after reporting stomach pain in jail. “September of 2022, Shanxi, Xi’an, Wang and his neighbour, Ma, got into a fight. Ma went to Wang’s house with a knife and was attacked with a stick by Wang’s son. Ma’s son drove his car to attempt to run over Wang, but accidentally ran over his father instead. Wang was injured and Ma passed away. Law enforcement determined that Wang was suffering from schizophrenia at the time he committed his assault. The first ruling held that Wang was guilty of assault and battery and was sentenced to 10 years. Some lawyers believed that Wang’s behaviour is self defense and the sentencing was too harsh. While waiting for appeal, Wang fit the criteria for bail. During his two years in jail, his family applied for bail multiple times and was refused. Wang was eventually sent to a hospital for sustained stomach pain, and passed away on the 23rd of July after treatment failed.”

Comments say, “It’s not that simple to get continuous stomach pain. A lot of responsibility has to go to the jail.”

“I have a feeling there’s something more going on with this case.”

“What a fucking tongue twister.”

“Basically, Wang and his neighbour Ma had a fight. Ma came to his house with a knife and met with resistance from Wang’s son. Ma’s son decided to run them over in revenge and accidentally ran over his own dad instead, and Wang was also injured by this. And now, the interesting part. Even though Wang was just defending himself, he was still sentenced for assault and battery. And even more interestingly, he was sentenced to ten years. And even, even more interestingly, Wang died mysteriously in jail.”

#Is it all Su Weide’s fault that men’s gymnastics lost their gold? “With such a big lead, so long as he decreased difficulty and didn’t screw up, we would’ve probably gotten gold. But would the athlete decrease difficulty? Would the coach choreograph it? Can the athlete complete a set he’s not familiar with?

The athlete didn’t have any flexibility, and the coach was too stubborn too. He was clearly not in the right state of mind, but still challenged highly difficult flips and jumps, and the coach has to be somewhat responsible for that. Or maybe this athlete was only ever trained in one thing, and didn’t know how to finish a set with decreased difficulty. Either way, lack of flexibility is a problem that’s plagued the Chinese gymnastics team for a while now.”

Comments say, “Because he’s a substitute and he wasn’t fully prepared, plus he was already kind of a nervous wreck. Didn’t prepare anything easy and didn’t get enough practice with anything hard, so he can’t do it at a critical moment.”

“Four people gave it their all to give Su Weide a silver medal. This is like four Grandmasters giving it their all to pull an Iron player up to Silver.”

“After falling in the Asiatics, and falling twice in the World Championships, he continues to fall twice on the Olympics? Is Shangdong Sports Department’s Su Weide trying to get a grand slam in falling?”
