On March 31, local time, U.S. President Trump stated that the United States will end the war with Iran within two to three weeks, saying that this move will help reduce the current high energy prices.

Trump stated that the current goal of the United States is to "completely destroy Iran's remaining military capabilities," including missile facilities and related infrastructure. He also said that the United States may leave Iran "within two to three weeks," but he did not rule out the possibility of reaching an agreement through negotiations before then.

On the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump stated that the United States does not intend to continue to assume primary security responsibility in the future, believing that shipping safety should be the responsibility of countries using the waterway, including France.

Trump also said that the United States has caused "significant weakening" of Iran and said that its military system, communication capabilities and air defense systems have been severely hit. At the same time, he once again emphasized that its core goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, saying that this goal has "already been achieved."

Trump also claimed that a "new leadership" has emerged in Iran and described it as "more accessible and rational." He also said that if Iran re-develops nuclear capabilities in the future, the United States will still use military means to strike.

Iranian President: To end the war, the other side must promise not to invade again

Iranian President Pezeshizyan stated on March 31 that Iran has the "necessary will" to end the war, provided that the other party meets Iran's demands, especially the necessary guarantees that it will no longer invade.

According to Iran's Guangming News Agency, Pezeshizyan said in a phone call with European Council President Costa that day that the solution to normalizing the situation is to stop the aggressive attacks by the United States and Israel. He reiterated that Iran is not seeking tension or war at any stage and "has the necessary will to end this war."

Pezeshchiyan pointed out that Iran entered negotiations with the United States with sincerity and a constructive attitude, but was illegally attacked midway through the negotiations. This issue proves that the United States does not believe in diplomacy, but only "seeks to impose orders to achieve its greedy intentions."

Pezeshchiyan also said: "We respect the sovereignty of our neighboring countries and have no intention to attack them. But unfortunately, the United States has set up military bases in these countries and launched attacks against us from the territories of these countries. These countries have failed to fulfill their international responsibilities to prevent their territories from being used to attack Iran."

According to reports, Costa emphasized the need to stop the current fighting and tension during the call. He said that European countries will never support this kind of aggression against Iran and believe that it violates international law and international rules.

Netanyahu: Israel is forming a "regional alliance" to deal with Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a video speech on the evening of March 31, saying that Israel had "struck a heavy blow" to Iran and that Israel was establishing some "new regional alliances" to deal with the "Iranian threat."

Netanyahu listed the results of Israel's war against Iran, namely weakening Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile program, infrastructure, internal security forces and leadership. He also mentioned Israel’s military operations against the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Lebanese Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthi armed groups and Palestinian armed groups in the West Bank, saying that Israel has established extensive “buffer zones” in the Gaza Strip, Syria and Lebanon.

Netanyahu said that in addition to deepening the Israeli-US alliance, "we are creating some new alliances with important countries in the region to deal with the common Iranian threat." He did not elaborate on this.

According to an analysis by The Times of Israel, Netanyahu’s speech may be preparation for a propaganda strategy once the United States decides to end the war with Iran.

On the night of January 2 this year, with the excitement of the Dongji Fuyuan New Year Marathon Championship trophy still lingering, the "fastest female nurse" Zhang Shuihua posted a resignation video on her personal social platform. “I don’t regret the way I came, and I’m not afraid of new journeys. These years have been great, but I should move forward.”

The news of her resignation quickly aroused heated discussions, and whether she could make a living by running marathons after resigning also became the focus of discussion among netizens.

Three months after resigning, there is a short-term answer to this question – 4 games, 2 championships and 1 runner-up; 3 endorsements, signed in a week; more than 30 live broadcasts, nearly 5 million people watched; cash bonus of about 115,000 yuan, plus a car worth 100,000 yuan, discounted to more than 200,000 yuan.

A few days ago, Red Star News reporters reviewed Zhang Shuihua's recent achievements and endorsements, and interviewed many people in the running industry to find the logic behind all this happening beyond the numbers.

What you earn on the track is not just bonuses

The day before announcing his resignation, Zhang Shuihua had already stood on the court. On January 1, she won the East Pole Fuyuan New Year Marathon and broke the competition record, winning a bonus of 15,000 yuan.

After releasing her resignation video, on January 18, Zhang Shuihua’s first race after officially announcing her resignation was the Chongqing Marathon. She finished sixth among women and fourth in the country with a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 51 seconds, and received a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

Nearly two months later, she won the runner-up in the Nanjing North Shore Marathon on March 8, with a bonus of 10,000 yuan; on March 22, she won the Lishui Marathon and broke the competition record, with a bonus of 40,000 yuan.

The most eye-catching event was the Liuzhou Marathon on March 29. She registered as an ordinary runner and crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 36 minutes and 23 seconds to win the race. She pocketed 30,000 yuan in cash and a car worth about 100,000 yuan. Winning two championships back to back within 8 days, the total rewards exceeded 170,000 yuan.

After resigning, he received a cash bonus of approximately 115,000 yuan. Including a car worth 100,000 yuan, the total discounted value exceeded 200,000 yuan. However, marathon prize organizers generally withhold 20% tax.

Her best marathon time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 37 seconds has reached the standard of the Chinese Athletics Association for international athletes – only about 20 people in the national women's marathon have reached this standard. What's even more commendable is that Zhang Shuihua's scores have been stable between 230-236 for a long time, with minimal fluctuations.

Ka Ge, the person in charge of the Rabbit Hi-Running Camp, told the Red Star News reporter that this stable high-level performance is the prerequisite for all Zhang Shuihua’s future development and can provide the foundation for her endorsements, accounts, etc. Brother Ka also mentioned that given the special nature of marathon sports, Zhang Shuihua still has a long time to maintain a high level. Moreover, the window period for domestic marathon events is very short. There are at least a dozen events almost every weekend. In addition to the participation restrictions of players within the system, the probability of Zhang Shuihua and several of the top domestic runners crashing is not high. Zhang Shuihua's strength will allow her to continue to perform in many competitions for many years to come, bringing her continued income and exposure.

But some insiders have different views. A running coach told a Red Star News reporter that the uncertainty of event prizes is extremely high. After the 2025 National Games, competition will also intensify significantly in the future. Another former professional athlete also mentioned that the prize money for small events is limited. After deducting 20% ​​personal tax and travel costs, "not winning is basically a waste of money or even a loss", and high-frequency participation is extremely taxing on the body.

The number of fans on the account doubled, and "little yellow cars" were posted one after another

On the day of his resignation, Zhang Shuihua had already appeared in the live broadcast room.

On January 2, she participated in the live broadcast of Fuyuan's "Heixiazi Island" tourism. Although it was not a commercial cooperation, it also triggered speculation about her transformation and sales. On January 6, she launched her first personal live broadcast after her resignation, and her second live broadcast on January 8 attracted a lot of attention.

Since then, its live broadcast frequency has stabilized at about one every three days.

The data monitoring platform shows that Zhang Shuihua has live broadcasted 34 times in total, of which the second live broadcast on January 8 had nearly 500,000 viewers, with an average of about 130,000 viewers. The live broadcast after Liuzhou Marathon won the championship attracted nearly 300,000 viewers, which was the second highest number of live broadcasts. Zhang Shuihua's account followers have doubled from more than 90,000 at the beginning of the year to more than 180,000 today.

Zhang Shuihua’s recent live broadcast data

During the live broadcast, Zhang Shuihua acted relaxed and comfortable. Her cooperation with her husband and the occasional teasing made the live broadcast room interesting, unlike the "poor words" that many netizens had previously believed.

It is worth noting that her account’s business attitude has also undergone changes. In March, "little yellow cars" began to be put out one after another, mainly selling running shoes, equipment, and nutritional products. In 4 of her 34 live broadcasts, she carried goods. The sales in each live broadcast were only a few thousand yuan, but there was a steady improvement trend.

This change is closely related to the reality of the industry.

In previous interviews with Red Star News reporters, many practitioners pointed out that the income of the running industry mainly comes from the four major sectors of events, endorsements, accounts, and coaching. However, it is extremely difficult to monetize accounts. "There are many running accounts, and we must rely on professional teams."

At present, Zhang Shuihua's account has completed the transition from "content exposure" to "initial realization", but it is still in the early stage.

Three signings a week, commercial value overflows the track

For top marathon runners, the main source of income is commercial endorsements.

Before resigning, Zhang Shuihua had already signed an endorsement contract with 361°, but after a dispute arose, the two parties officially terminated the contract in September last year. In the following months, Zhang Shuihua, who was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, had no commercial endorsements. So when she first resigned, some people in the industry were worried about her endorsement prospects: brands may be afraid of her controversial identity.

But in February, Zhang Shuihua's worries were overturned, and he won consecutive signings. On February 10, sports eyewear brand Hyper Run officially announced the signing; five days later, on February 15, Xtep announced that she had become an official signed athlete; and the next day, on February 16, Shandong home decoration brand Boulevard completed the signing – "three signings a week."

Zhang Shuihua’s account announces endorsement

According to Shangguan News, industry insiders estimate that Zhang Shuihua’s annual endorsement income can reach 1.8 million to 4.6 million yuan, and the appearance fee for a single event is about 100,000 yuan. However, this figure has not been confirmed by Zhang Shuihua or the brand.

In an interview with reporters, Ka Ge mentioned that Zhang Shuihua had recently successfully registered a company to ensure standardization of commercialization, but he did not disclose the specific company name.

Insider perspective:

Grades and labels provide the possibility of breaking the circle

As a friend of Zhang Shuihua and an industry insider who has been engaged in sports event communication for a long time, Ka Ge is not surprised by Zhang Shuihua’s outburst and believes that there are multiple advantages that provide him with confidence.

Brother Ka mentioned that performance is Zhang Shuihua’s biggest source of confidence. Long-term stable high-level performance has brought continuous income and exposure to Zhang Shuihua. In recent years, brands have increasingly tended to spend money on "accurate fans" rather than Internet celebrities with large numbers of pure fans. Zhang Shuihua only has a few hundred thousand Douyin fans, but his commercial influence has begun to surpass that of Internet celebrities with millions of fans. The most intuitive example is the Liuzhou Marathon, the Shijiazhuang Marathon, and the Yangzhou Marathon: Compared with the Shijiazhuang Marathon, which invited former world record holder Kipchoge, and the Yangzhou Half Marathon, which brought together many of the country's top elite runners, the Liuzhou Marathon does not fall behind in terms of online communication.

Ka Ge believes that Zhang Shuihua’s label is also the key to her breaking out of the circle: she was born as a nurse and started running in 2018. She relied purely on love and self-discipline. She has taken steps every year, from breaking 3 (hours) to breaking 250 to breaking 240, and now she has stabilized at the level of 235. These labels have natural public resonance and are closer to the sports needs of ordinary people. Her story will make people feel that she is the same kind of person as you. After resigning, the controversy surrounding Zhang Shuihua also disappeared.

Brother Ka believes that after resigning and preparing for the competition full-time, through more professional training and greater running volume, Zhang Shuihua's score has a chance to break through the 230 mark, and if there are no injuries, he can still maintain a high level for more than ten years. According to Shangguan News, Zhang Shuihua’s husband revealed that she plans to optimize her condition through systematic training, strive to hit her personal best (PB) in the second half of the year, and explore new ways to deeply integrate professional athletes with commercial value.

challenge:

How far business can go depends on the next game

But behind the bright numbers, challenges also exist.

There has always been uncertainty in the competition on the field. Ka Ge mentioned that the results are Zhang Shuihua's confidence, but once the results decline, the commercial value will also shrink rapidly. However, based on Zhang Shuihua's current performance, as long as there are no injuries, there is no need to worry too much about this for the time being.

But Zhang Shuihua will also face common problems among marathon runners. Except for top professional runners, ordinary runners have almost no team protection. Several well-known amateur runners, like Zhang Shuihua, only have their significant other as a team member, and at most a few people to assist in account operations.

Additionally, there are athletes who face contractual and financial risks. "Many team members received bonuses, but they didn't know how to file taxes or what pitfalls were in the contracts." Brother Ka has seen many athletes sign long-term contracts with extremely poor terms. When the commercial value has far exceeded the contract value, they cannot change it. However, in this regard, Zhang Shuihua and her husband, who graduated from Tianjin University, can obviously do better.

At the same time, account operation is not a simple task. After Zhang Shuihua's account has doubled the number of fans, it is only 180,000, and he can bring in goods for several thousand yuan in a single game. Compared with the top accounts, the gap is very obvious. Some running circle practitioners said that there are currently many running accounts and there are many professional MCN organizations on this track. If you want to make a good account, you definitely need the support of professional organizations, which is very difficult. Ka Ge mentioned that these live broadcasts and endorsements should be ranked after training and competitions. "Training and competitions are fundamental." The product categories should also fit the personality and focus on sports brands, healthy life, and female growth. It is better to be lacking than to overload.

Taken together, in the three months since his resignation, Zhang Shuihua has delivered an impressive report card: performance, traffic, and business. The three curves have risen at the same time, but he will also face dual challenges in performance and commercialization in the future.

As Ka Ge said, "Training and competition are fundamental." How far the business can go ultimately depends on whether she can win the next game.

Red Star News reporter Liu Yazhou and intern Zhang Yichi

In November last year, it was reported that Korean director Kim Chang-min had a cerebral hemorrhage and entered the hospital and passed away. The media at that time also reported that he donated his body to four people after his death.

Unexpectedly, new news came from the media: Jin Changmin was beaten to death by a group of people!

What happened?

According to Korean media reports, Kim Changmin took his son to a restaurant to eat in the early morning of October 20 last year because his autistic son wanted to eat pork chops.

Unexpectedly, his son made noise while eating, causing an argument with other customers in the store. In the end, the other customers beat him to the ground. After the restaurant owner reported the incident, the police rushed to the scene and called an ambulance.

Unfortunately, after resuscitation, Jin Changmin still did not wake up. He died after lying in bed for 15 days. He was determined to be brain dead on November 7.

It is really unfortunate that it is not easy to have an autistic son, but he was beaten and lost his life while innocent.

At that time, his sister also posted the news of Jin Changmin's death, mentioning that Jin Changmin had donated his body to four people, extending his life in another form.

She said, "He looks strong on the outside, but he is warmer and more delicate than anyone else. I hope that those who remember my brother, even from a distance, can make him feel less lonely in his last journey. We will be grateful if we pray for him and remember him with a warm heart."

However, she did not mention the cause of Jin Changmin's death at the time, and it was not made public until five months after the incident. His family members said that there was a large hospital near the incident site, but the delivery to the hospital was delayed by an hour, missing the golden time.

They also complained that the police only applied for detention of one of the multiple suspects before targeting the other two. However, the application for detention was rejected, the investigation was incomplete, and was delayed for several months. Kim Changmin's parents said, "Five months have passed and the criminal who killed my son is still walking freely outside."

Kim Chang-min switched from being a behind-the-scenes worker to a director. He worked as a prop crew member and also worked as an art crew member for films such as "Narcos" and "Fire Rescue". He only directed "Someone's Daughter" in 2016, and in 2019 he filmed "Jiuyi Station Exit 3".

I never expected that such a family-oriented and loving director would die young in this way. I just hope that the evildoers will eventually be punished and that the director can freely make the movies he likes in another world.

This time, Russia really made a lot of money. While everyone is still staring at the mess in the Middle East, Russian presidential assistant Ushakov has confirmed to the outside world that the United States not only held talks with Ukraine in Florida, but also informed Moscow of the trump cards of that conversation in great detail. This is an extremely dangerous signal, which indicates that in this three-party game, the balance is tilting devastatingly.

Although Russia, the United States, and Ukraine still say they want to seek peace talks on the surface, in fact, the security working group that was finally put together has been completely shut down. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Galuzin also confirmed this. The reason why the negotiations cannot be pushed forward is so simple that it is chilling. Because Washington can't take care of Ukraine at all now, their energy must be used first to deal with the chicken feathers in the Middle East.

You see, this is Putin's brilliance. He sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and watches his opponents fall into the pit he dug. Russia's attitude is now very playful. While they generously express their willingness to communicate and welcome the United States' continued efforts, they are showing their sharpest fangs on the battlefield. In contrast, Zelensky is frantic. The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly emphasized recently that peace in Ukraine should not be driven by the situation in the Middle East and that negotiations must be resumed as soon as possible. But how could he have the final say in this matter?

Zelensky knows very well that as long as the conflict in the Middle East continues for one more day, Ukraine will be the fish in the pond. The current battle report has torn away the last fig leaf of tenderness. The wily Putin will never let go of this golden opportunity. According to a briefing from the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russian army has just launched one of the largest drone attacks since the conflict.

In just nine hours, 556 drones covered the sky. If the time is extended to a whole day, the number of drones of various types dispatched by the Russian army is close to a thousand. How is this ordinary harassment? This is the decisive spring offensive launched by the Russian army against Donetsk and other key areas in eastern Ukraine. Analysts are very sure that the Russian army's actions this year are earlier and more ruthless than in previous years.

What is even more frightening is the complete change in the way of fighting. For the past year, the Russian army has only used small-scale infantry to work and infiltrate there. What now? That is a real large-scale mechanized push. In just one week, the Russian army launched 1,336 attacks. The news coming back from the Ukrainian front line is disappointing. A torrent of steel composed of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles is rolling forward.

From Kiev to Nikolayev, from Poltava to Vinnitsa, the Russian army's attack range is much wider than before, and the hit accuracy is astonishingly high. Zelensky has to admit that the current situation is quite bad. Russia's core goal has never changed, which is to completely capture the remaining lands of the four Udong states. Spring is here, and all the power accumulated in winter is exploding at this moment.

Putin has been ruthless in both diplomacy and military matters. Diplomatically, since the tripartite negotiations have stopped, I have reason to pursue and fight fiercely on the battlefield. The more land I occupy, the more bargaining chips I have on the negotiation table. And what about the United States? Trapped in the quagmire of the Middle East, they were afraid that Russia would take advantage of the situation, so they did not dare to take serious action against Moscow and could only watch Ukraine being beaten.

The most realistic problem is that the U.S. arsenal has bottomed out. They wanted to put out the fire, but they didn't have enough water. The European side cannot count on it. Most of their own equipment is bought from the United States. Now that the war in the Middle East continues and everyone in Europe is in danger, how can there be any leftover food to support Kiev?

What makes Ukraine even worse is that the energy crisis in the United States has not yet been resolved. In order to lower oil prices, it even had to temporarily relax energy sanctions on Russia. Putin is fighting a war and making money at the same time. With money, you will be more confident and invest in more missiles and tanks. Even Japan, which is closely following the United States, is beginning to be unable to sit still. Under the high-pressure line of G7 sanctions, it is tremblingly looking for a breakthrough for its own energy future.

The situation is now very clear, and the initiative lies entirely in Moscow's hands. If Zelensky still has some unrealistic illusions, then Putin’s drones and missiles will make him completely accept reality. In the law of the jungle of international politics, when the United States is caught in another fire, Putin is the calmest and most deadly hunter.

This afternoon, the case of the designated estate administrator of "Ms. Deng, 53, Xuhui", which has attracted much public attention, was held in the Huajing Town Circuit Court.

The Xuhui District People's Court made a verdict in court: appointing the Xuhui District Civil Affairs Bureau as the estate administrator.

Currently, the Huajing Town Impression Xuhui Neighborhood Committee, as the designated guardian, is implementing Ms. Deng’s funeral arrangements.

court hearing scene

Previously, 53-year-old Ms. Deng collapsed in a rental house due to a cerebral infarction. Since she had no close relatives, temporary custody became a big problem.

Under this circumstance, Xuhui District issued the first notarized certificate of temporary guardianship and issued an "identity card" of the temporary guardian to the neighborhood committee of the place of residence as Ms. Deng's temporary guardian, opening up a life path to support her.

Just seven days later, the Xuhui District People's Court issued a judgment and designated the neighborhood committee as the guardian.

rescue scene

Unfortunately, in the early morning of March 19, Ms. Deng's vital signs suddenly became unstable, and she was declared clinically dead after rescue efforts failed.

A single person died unexpectedly and left an inheritance of about 6 million. Ms. Deng's incident became a hot topic after being reported.

How should this huge inheritance be handled in the future?

On March 24, the Huajing Town Impression Xuhui Neighborhood Committee, as the designated guardian, applied to the Xuhui Court to designate the Xuhui District Civil Affairs Bureau as the estate administrator.

Xuhui Court accepted the case and filed it on the same day.

Thanks to the complete investigation report on Ms. Deng’s close relatives issued by the Xuhui Notary Office, the Xuhui Court was able to avoid repeated investigations and quickly found out that Ms. Deng had no legal heir.

On this basis, the Xuhui Court shortened the trial period and held a hearing on the case 7 days after the case was filed.

"Request the People's Court to designate the Shanghai Xuhui District Civil Affairs Bureau as the administrator of Deng **'s estate."

In court, the applicant read out the lawsuit.

The Civil Affairs Bureau issued an opinion stating that it is up to the court to determine whether Deng ** has a legal heir and a will in accordance with the law.

During the evidentiary stage, the neighborhood committee issued Ms. Deng’s death certificate, designated guardian’s judgment, and notarized investigation report and other materials to prove the fact that Ms. Deng was dead and had no legal heir.

After hearing the case, the court held that after the inheritance begins, the executor shall be the estate administrator; if there is no executor, the heirs shall promptly elect an estate administrator; if no heir is elected, the heirs shall jointly serve as the estate administrator; if there is no heir or the heirs have all given up the inheritance, the civil affairs department or the village committee of the deceased's residence shall serve as the estate administrator. If there is a dispute over the determination of the estate administrator, the interested party may apply to the People's Court for the appointment of an estate administrator.

According to the evidence in the case, Ms. Deng had no legal heir when she died. As Ms. Deng’s guardian, the applicant has the right to file an application to designate an estate administrator in this case. Since Ms. Deng’s registered residence and usual place of residence during her lifetime were both located in Xuhui District, Shanghai, the applicant’s application to appoint the respondent as the administrator of Ms. Deng’s estate is reasonable and well-founded and should be supported.

Sentencing screen

After the trial, Qi Yinchuan, the presiding judge of the case and the judge of the Civil Tribunal of Xuhui Court, said that since May last year, the Xuhui Court has regularized the presence of judges in the comprehensive management centers of various subdistricts and towns. By holding court sessions at the doorsteps of residents, it has achieved the effect of hearing one case and managing one.

From "Ms. Jiang in Hongkou" to "Ms. Deng in Xuhui", social attention to topics related to guardianship support for special groups and estate administrators is also increasing day by day. This case was held in the form of a circuit trial, also to promote the popularization of the law, so that the legal system can truly open up the "last mile" of the popularization of the law.

Judge interviewed

In the future, Xuhui District will also pass the "Ms. Deng Case" to solidify the experience and practices gained through exploration through mechanisms, so that the dividends of the system can benefit more groups.

Related news

She left alone, leaving behind a huge inheritance. Her circumstances during her lifetime triggered discussions throughout Shanghai.

A few days ago, a 53-year-old woman living alone in Shanghai, Ms. Deng, suffered a cerebral infarction and collapsed in a rental house.

Because both parents are dead, unmarried, childless, and have no close relatives, temporary custody becomes a big problem.

Fortunately, the Xuhui District Civil Affairs Bureau promptly made it clear that the place of household registration would take a step forward and assume the responsibility for temporary guardianship, which brought a turn for the better for Ms. Deng's rescue.

On March 11, the People's Court of Xuhui District officially issued a judgment and designated the Huajing Town Impression Xuhui Residents Committee as the guardian of Ms. Deng. The Xuhui District Notary Office issued the first notary certificate of temporary guardian in the district, and issued a legal "temporary ID card" to the neighborhood committee of the place of residence as Ms. Deng's temporary guardian, opening up a life path.

The picture shows the relevant notarial certificates

Previously, Ms. Deng's condition improved for a time, "she can open her eyes, but her consciousness is still relatively vague." The millions of assets in Ms. Deng's name also provided a solid financial guarantee for her follow-up treatment and care.

Ms. Deng’s condition improved for a time

However, the unfortunate news still came. The reporter learned today that in the early morning of March 19, Ms. Deng's vital signs suddenly became unstable. After rescue efforts failed, she was declared clinically dead at 2:47.

During a previous interview, the reporter learned that Ms. Deng was a demolition resettlement household and had never purchased any real estate. She had been renting a house for a long time. There was still nearly 6 million yuan in demolition compensation in her personal account that had not been used.

The will is still being checked among Ms. Deng’s belongings. If it is confirmed that Ms. Deng has no designated funeral arrangements, the Huajing Town Impression Xuhui Neighborhood Committee, as the designated guardian, will formally submit an application to the court. Through the court’s judgment, the civil affairs department in the jurisdiction will be designated as the administrator of her estate and carry out estate management work in accordance with laws and regulations.

Some netizens said:

This will happen more and more in the future

I hope the relevant departments will pay attention to it

@陈波: This situation will become more and more common in the future. They are all only children, many of whom are unmarried and have no children. What should I do if they become disabled and have dementia when they get old? It’s not that there is no money, it’s that they can’t decide how to use it independently. The government needs to establish a system as soon as possible to deal with it.

@ Quanquan: There are more and more people like this now, and more and more people born after 2000 will not get married.

@ღ世᭄ꦿ࿐宝༉: After following it for a long time, I still saw this bad news! Thinking that one day I will grow old, who will help me if I have no children?

@人无码不了不愿了: This kind of thing will happen more and more in the future, so it’s better to write your will as soon as possible while your mind is clear and your body is in good health.

@安小 boxes: Can you set up a special account for the special disposal of uninherited inheritance, which can be used to help some lonely elderly people or orphans?

@海平 Dusi: This has become a social problem. This situation will become more and more common in the future. I hope the government departments will pay attention to it and set up a government-trusted security agency.

@louizeyun: For the elderly living alone, I think the community has an obligation to remind the elderly to establish a will as early as possible and can change it at any time. It’s best to have one online, convenient channel, and don’t have to run around.

Some netizens are worried:

There will be "relatives" popping up to fight for the inheritance.

@ʚChen’s motherɞ: Just watch, there will be “relatives” popping up next!

@ The Promise of Promise: 600W inheritance, there are definitely relatives.

Some netizens lamented:

No one knows

Which comes first, tomorrow or the accident?

Live the moment

@君jun who gave up playing cards: The person dies, but the money hasn’t been used up yet. No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident, so be kind to yourself.

@杨小omi: Enjoy the moment, and you won’t be able to take anything with you in the end.

@saixiongfei: Things are unpredictable, and it proves once again: Just be kind to yourself if you live one day in this world. Eat what you should eat, drink what you should play, and play. No matter how much money you have, it’s useless. If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t bring it with you in death~

@园园十: People live a lifetime and enjoy the moment. If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death!

@hellen: Live in the moment and be happy every day

Zhang Xue once shouted "Use Made in China to Kill Made in Japan" Zhang Xue Motorcycles did it

"Look how I can use Made in China to kill Made in Japan!"

In the past two days, Zhang Xue, the founder of the Chinese motorcycle brand Zhang Xue Motorcycles, has attracted attention on social media with his heroic words in his early years.

Zhang Xue, founder of Chinese motorcycle brand Zhang Xue Motorcycle.

Many netizens marveled, "No one believed him at the time, but now he has really done it."

On March 28, in the World SSP category of the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal, French rider Valentin Debis drove the Zhang Xue Motorcycle 820RR-RS model and won the championship with a lead of nearly 4 seconds. Traditional overlords Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc. have all been left behind.

This is the first time that a Chinese brand has reached the top of the highest category of a top international motorcycle event, realizing a historic breakthrough for China's motorcycle industry from 0 to 1, and at the same time breaking the decades-long monopoly of European, American and Japanese brands such as Ducati and Yamaha.

In the second round the next day, Zhang Xue motorcycle won the championship again, achieving two consecutive victories.

WSBK is the top production motorcycle event hosted by the International Motorcycle Federation. It is a stage to test the ultimate performance of production vehicles.

After the game, Zhang Xue said on social media that if some things were done not for results but for love, the results might really be different.

In the eyes of many people in the industry, Zhang Xue is undoubtedly a legend, and his life experience is comparable to the real-life version of "Flying Life".

Public reports show that Zhang Xue’s parents divorced since she was a child, and her family is poor. At the age of 14, he dropped out of school to work as an apprentice in a repair shop and saved 8,000 yuan to buy an old Honda.

At the age of 19, Zhang Xue attracted public attention for riding more than 100 kilometers in the rain to chase the TV crew.

At the age of 26, he went to Chongqing with tens of thousands of yuan to build cars, starting with assembly, modification, and online sales.

In 2024, Zhang Xue Motorcycles was born. The first 1,000 units of the first model will not be sold and will be fully tested for 1 million kilometers. Quality will always be put before making money.

After winning the championship, Zhang Xue’s motorcycle inquiries increased significantly.

Zhang Xue’s motorcycle applet shows that there are currently three motorcycles, ZX820RR, ZX500RR, and ZX500F, available for reservation. Among them, the ZX820RR version is priced at a uniform national price of 43,800 yuan, and the RR-R version is priced at 61,980 yuan.

Zhang Xue earlier introduced that in 2025, Zhang Xue's motorcycle output value will reach 750 million yuan, R&D investment will reach 69.58 million yuan, R&D sales will account for 9.33%, and a loss of 22.78 million yuan will be incurred during the same period.

In addition, Zhang Xue Motorcycle has completed Series A financing in January 2026 and is expected to receive an investment of 90 million yuan, with a post-investment valuation of 1.09 billion yuan.

Yin Zheng, a well-known actor in the "Flying Life" series of movies, posted a message

"The rural boy who once rode an old motorcycle that kept stalling and falling down but still didn't give up chasing his dream finally put his car on the map and won the championship in a world-class competition! He chased his dream. And this is just the beginning."

Yin Zheng, a well-known actor who has starred in the "Flying Life" series of movies, couldn't help but express the above emotion on Weibo.

He said, "ZX is so impressive! I want to rush! I want to support it with actions!"

On March 31, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked: According to reports, the Self-Defense Forces officer who broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan armed with a knife has been sent for inspection by the Japanese police. What is China’s comment on this?

Mao Ning presided over the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Mao Ning pointed out that this incident exposed the depth and harm of Japan's right-wing ideology and distorted view of history. According to reports, Japan’s National Defense University has a so-called practice of collectively visiting the Yasukuni Shrine every year. In 2024, a former senior Maritime Self-Defense Force official actually served as the Palace Secretary of the Yasukuni Shrine. This is the first time that a retired Self-Defense Force general has held the highest position of the Yasukuni Shrine.

Mao Ning said that the Self-Defense Forces have long invited far-right elements who are extremely anti-China to participate in teaching, and the training materials are full of content that distorts and beautifies the history of World War II aggression.

"The parents of the Self-Defense Forces official who illegally broke into the Chinese Embassy said that he did not behave in extreme ways when he was growing up and studying in his hometown, and they had no idea why he did what he did. This person received a nine-month reserve cadre training course in the Self-Defense Forces. During this process, what thoughts and education the Self-Defense Forces instilled in him deserve attention, investigation and deep thought." Mao Ning said.

Mao Ning reiterated that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have shifted to the right and Japan's "remilitarization" deserves high vigilance from the international community. China once again urges Japan to thoroughly investigate the incident and fundamentally prevent such incidents from happening again.

Chills down my spine! Murata Akira's sly smile and the "military song" behind him…

On March 26, 2026 local time, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department handed over the suspect Kodai Murata to the prosecutors for forcing his way into the Chinese Embassy in Japan. His frontal photo was publicly exposed by many Japanese media.

The exposed footage showed that during the transfer, 23-year-old Murata Kodai was wearing dark casual clothes. Facing the camera, there was no trace of regret, panic or fear on his face.

Instead, he smiled.

Kodai Murata smiled in front of the camera

What is even more chilling than this weird smile is the faint background sound that can be heard at the transfer site. The video showed that someone at the scene was singing the song of the Showa Restoration, and the slogan "Fight bloody to the end, long live long live" was particularly harsh.

The Song of the Showa Restoration is the iconic poison song of Japanese militarism. The lyricist, Taku Mikami, was one of the masterminds of the "May 15th Incident" in 1932. In 1936, young officers of the Japanese Army sang this song and launched the "226 Mutiny".

It is no coincidence that such a song, which is deeply associated with militarism, subjugation of superiors, and violent coups, sounded at the transfer site of the perpetrators suspected of attacking Chinese diplomatic missions.

Echoing the suspect's arrogance, Japanese officials are talking about him.

On March 27, Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi finally responded, but he did not apologize to China and only called the incident "regrettable."

Shinjiro Koizumi only called the incident "regrettable"

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi remained silent.

If we push back the time to March 24, the day when Murata Akira broke into the museum, some details that deserve more attention have emerged.

That morning, Murata broke into the museum.

At the press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the afternoon, China took the lead in disclosing this vicious incident.

Prior to this, the Japanese media, which has always been known as "well-informed", had no voice at all.

Also that afternoon, at the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Toshimitsu Motegi said nothing about this. What's even more ironic is that at the Ministry of Defense press conference that morning, Shinjiro Koizumi was still talking about the so-called "China's cognitive war."

It wasn't until China disclosed the case that Japan slowly and reluctantly said a few words of regret and that it would investigate the case strictly. The Ministry of Defense even argued that the murderer's "words and deeds were normal."

In order to cool down the incident, the Sankei Shimbun specifically interviewed Kohiro Murata's parents, emphasizing that his parents are ordinary people with a stable family environment and that there are no posts on social media that suggest crime or "anti-China ideas."

Someone has noticed that there was a similar case in history.

Coincidentally, on the same month and day as this incident, on March 24, 1964, the U.S. Ambassador to Japan Edwin Reischauer was stabbed in the thigh by a 19-year-old boy (who had been hospitalized for schizophrenia) in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, and was seriously injured.

The Japanese government at the time demonstrated an "extraordinary" response speed.

Immediately after the incident, Foreign Minister Masayoshi Ohira went to visit, and Prime Minister Yuto Ikeda also tried to visit, but Toranomon Hospital where Reischauer was hospitalized was so overcrowded that reporters and other personnel crowded the hospital and they could not even enter.

The picture shows a screenshot of relevant reports

Before the United States could launch an attack, then-Prime Minister Ikeda Hayato personally called U.S. President Johnson to express his deep regret and apologized to the American people on behalf of the Japanese people via satellite broadcast.

The day after the incident, Takaya Hayakawa, then chairman of the National Public Security Commission, immediately announced his resignation to show his responsibility.

Takaya Hayakawa, then chairman of the National Public Security Commission, immediately announced his resignation to show his responsibility. The picture is a screenshot of the report.

Strengthening the security of foreign dignitaries also became an important issue, which led to the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Department Security Section (later renamed the Metropolitan Police Department Security Police).

However, on the same day 62 years later, the Chinese Embassy in Japan was violently attacked by active Japanese Self-Defense Forces officers with knives. In the face of more serious foreign-related incidents involving active self-defense officers, the Japanese government's attitude has completely changed.

As we all know, the act of "apologizing" is deeply rooted in Japan's social and cultural system.

Someone described the importance of apology in Japanese society this way: The skill that must be mastered in Japan is "apology." If you make a serious mistake, you must bow deeply at 90 degrees. If you still can't solve it, kneel down and kowtow to "apologise." This is usually forgiven.

The act of “apologizing” is deeply ingrained in Japanese society and cultural system

Therefore, "apologizing" is a particularly easy gesture for Japanese people to make.

Of course, "apology" actions such as bowing and kneeling do not really mean reflection and repentance in Japan.

In recent years, decades-long fraud scandals involving major Japanese companies have been exposed one after another. For this reason, spokespeople from these companies have repeatedly bowed to "apologize" at press conferences. After the earthquake in Japan, the government was slow to provide disaster relief, and the relevant "responsible person" also publicly "apologized".

Toyota Motor Chairman bows to "apologize"

The bowing is over, the "apology" is over, what next? There is no more. The problem that should be solved remains unresolved.

If the above examples are not convincing enough, then the remarks of Japanese Congressman Yaichi Tanigawa are very direct.

The Japanese Liberal Democratic Party congressman who was suspected of accepting more than 40 million yen in "kickbacks" announced his resignation and apologized at a press conference. But then he was asked by reporters anxiously, and he made the following remarks:

"Isn't it okay that I was wrong? Can't you understand? Do you want me to die?"

It can be seen that in Japan, "apology" does not mean admitting a mistake, but is more often just a formality. I "apologized", then you should forgive me and stop blaming me.

But after members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces broke into the Chinese Embassy, ​​even this form of "apology" has not been made by Japan so far.

From Sanae Takaichi to Kodai Murata himself, no one has any intention of apologizing.

On the one hand, there is a social culture that is accustomed to "apology", and on the other hand, there is a rigid attitude of never "apologizing" on certain issues.

The most prominent one is the historical issue.

The late former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe once expressed this view: People born after the war in Japan have exceeded 80% of the total population. These Japanese and their descendants who "have nothing to do with that war" "can no longer bear the fate of continuing to apologize." This view is embraced by many right-wingers.

Regarding the embassy matter, Japanese public opinion and the government also did the same. The Japanese government and Self-Defense Forces organizations talk about "regret", and Japanese public opinion generally exaggerates that this is a "personal behavior" and does not think it is a problem of its own social system at all.

In other words, until now, from the individual who carried out this incident to the system that should be responsible for the occurrence of this kind of thing, no one even feels that they have done something wrong and need to be responsible for it.

This is the most infuriating and the most alarming thing.

In the matter of breaking into the museum, the real problem is not a "Murata Kodai", but the soil where "Murata Kodai" are allowed to breed.

Historically, incidents of "rage" by Japanese soldiers occurred frequently. From the "May 15th Incident" and "February 26th Mutiny" in Japan, to the September 18th Incident and the July 7th Incident carried out by the Japanese invaders, all were initiated by the Japanese military "alone" by adhering to the concept of "lower to overcome the upper", which eventually led to the entire Japan being kidnapped by militarism.

Incidents of "rage" by Japanese soldiers occurred frequently

Decades later, active-duty officers of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force broke into the Chinese Embassy with weapons, and a Maritime Self-Defense Force frigate ignored China’s warning and broke into China’s territorial waters…

What's more serious is that Japan's political arena has been shifting to the right in recent years. Article 9 of the Peace Constitution has been constantly being ignored. The role of the Self-Defense Forces has changed from "defense" to "offensive". More offensive weapons are being installed in the Self-Defense Forces through various channels.

Needless to say, it goes without saying how serious the consequences will be if the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which possesses offensive weapons, "go alone" in the future.

The Japanese government's passive attitude is sending a signal: extreme hostility towards China is allowed. It will inspire more far-right elements to take more radical action, creating a vicious cycle.

China's position on this incident is clear and firm: Japan must give China an explanation.

This is not only the responsibility and obligation that Japan must fulfill to China in accordance with the basic norms of international relations, international law and relevant international treaties, but also a reasonable explanation on behalf of Japan to Asian countries that have been deeply harmed by militaristic colonial expansion, and to countries around the world that have been deeply harmed by fascism.

Perhaps some Japanese people feel that if this matter is delayed, the story will be over.

But no. Just like historical issues, until a day of thorough reflection comes, Japan will never be relieved of its guilt.

According to Jimu News, staff from the First Inspection Bureau of the Shanghai Taxation Bureau responded that “matters related to this matter are being handled in accordance with laws and regulations and procedures. The specific content shall be subject to the official information released by the tax department.”

Ju Jingyi's studio issued a statement saying that Ju Jingyi has always strictly abided by national laws and regulations, actively performed citizens' tax and other obligations in accordance with the law, and has actively cooperated to complete relevant spot checks and inspection procedures.

Ju Jingyi once signed an artist contract with Shanghai Siba Culture Media Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Siba Media"). The two parties have had disputes over contracts and other issues since 2024.

Ju Jingyi issued a statement

Ju Jingyi’s photo shoot for a magazine triggered a lawsuit

Siba Media once sued the magazine

According to Jimu News, the projects in which Ju Jingyi participated in activities from June to December 2024 are listed. The picture shows that on July 30, 2024, Ju Jingyi's project was the cover and cover blockbuster of the August issue of "Wonderland".

A search by a Red Star News reporter found that Siba Media had sued the magazine regarding the shooting situation of this magazine.

The civil ruling shows that Siba Media proposed that on August 16, 2013, it signed the "S Exclusive Artist Contract" with Ju, and signed a supplementary agreement on September 10, 2018, stipulating that Siba Media is Ju's only exclusive agency and has the exclusive authority to represent Ju's image and any form of performing arts activities worldwide. Without the written consent of Siba Media, no unit or individual may act as an agent for Ju's performing arts activities. At the same time, Siba Media has the exclusive right to use Ju’s name, portrait, image and voice, and no third party may use it without permission. The exclusive brokerage period is from August 16, 2013 to August 15, 2033.

Siba Media believed that the magazine had cooperated with Ju without Siba's permission, and used Ju to take multiple cover photos, inside page photos and a large amount of promotional materials for the magazine "WonXXXXXXX." sponsored by it, and publicly sold the magazine containing Ju's portrait and name. In this regard, Siba Group sued the magazine, believing that it had violated its exclusive brokerage rights, etc., and demanded that the magazine be removed from the shelves, the promotional content be deleted, and compensation for losses totaling 300,000 yuan.

In this case, Ju was listed as the third person. However, the magazine raised an objection to the jurisdiction, and the court approved it. On October 9, 2025, the court made a ruling and the case was transferred to the People's Court of Haidian District, Beijing. The reporter did not find the latest developments in the case.

In addition, Ju was also listed as the third party in a labor contract dispute. According to the verdict, from June 15 to 18, 2024, Ju participated in "Hunan Satellite TV Happy Night" as an artist of the Siba Group. Ju's hairstylist accompanied him. During the period, he incurred labor costs of 9,000 yuan and transportation fees of 188.8 yuan. The hairstylist sued Siba Group, claiming that payment was delayed and repeated negotiations were fruitless.

Previously, Siba Group had stated that it had paid money to hairstylists many times, with the appendix "labor fees", "car fare", "reimbursement", etc. Siba Group believes that Ju has an independent status in the company, and hiring a stylist is a personal need. The company has not signed a labor contract with the stylist. This is a cooperation between the stylist and Ju. The previous labor fees were paid through Ju’s activity reimbursement fees, and it believes that Ju should pay. The court did not support the decision, and the first instance ordered Siba Media to pay the costs. The reporter did not find out whether the case would be appealed.

Contract disputes between the two parties have triggered at least two lawsuits

Siba Media announced that it will report with real names at a certain date

The dispute between Siba and Ju Jingyi has been on the hot searches many times. According to content released by Ju Jingyi's studio on March 31 and content released by Siba Media on March 26, the dispute between the two parties is in the normal trial process.

The main focus of the dispute between the two parties is whether Siba Media will still be Ju Jingyi's agency after June 2024. On May 10, 2024, Ju Jingyi’s studio “Ju Jingyi_Official” registered on Weibo. On December 9, 2024, Ju Jingyi fully registered Shanghai Jushi Shunli Film and Television Culture Studio (sole proprietorship).

Siba Media once said that the two parties signed a supplementary agreement on September 10, 2018. As of June 18, 2024, the first phase of partial cooperation between the two parties based on the SNH48 girl group management agreement has been successfully completed. According to the terms of the supplementary agreement, it has officially transitioned to the second phase of cooperation based on the artist management agreement. In this regard, Ju Jingyi pointed out that the decision not to renew was made in June 2024, and was completely unaware of the supplementary agreement in 2018.

For this reason, Ju Jingyi sued Siba Media in 2024 and applied for handwriting identification of Ju Jingyi’s signature in the supplementary agreement. Regarding the appraisal results, both parties disagreed. Siba Media said that it did not conclude that the supplementary agreement was not signed by Ju Jingyi herself; Ju Jingyi’s lawyer entrusted the appraisal opinion that it was impossible to determine that the signature was written by Ju Jingyi herself. The case was withdrawn by Ju Jingyi on September 10, 2025.

In October 2025, Ju Jingyi entrusted a lawyer to reorganize relevant evidence and file a lawsuit. The two sides also had differences over Ju Jingyi's income. Ju Jingyi’s attorney stated that Siba Media has repeatedly colluded with affiliated companies over a long period of time to conceal the true amount of performing arts income by signing “double contracts” and withhold and misappropriate Ju Jingyi’s performing arts income. In this regard, Siba Media stated that the company has set up a personal studio for Ju Jingyi, equipped with multiple full-time staff, and invested 160 million yuan to customize film and television works for her. As of May 2024, it has settled and paid a total of more than 100 million yuan before tax to Ju Jingyi, and paid a monthly fixed income of 250,000 yuan before tax, etc.

It is also in this income dispute that Siba Media proposed a "Supplementary Statement on the Taxation of Artists' Income in accordance with the Law," stating that "the artists' income disclosed below is the formal and legitimate income that our company has fulfilled its withholding and payment obligations in accordance with the contract and has paid taxes to the tax authorities in the jurisdiction in accordance with the law. It can withstand any form of tax verification. However, if there are any other forms of undeclared or unreported income in accordance with the law, Our company will not bear any responsibility for taxable income.” The next day, Siba Media issued a final notice, saying, “Our company will make a public, real-name report on the suspected serious economic crimes of you and your associate Tu Moumou to the relevant national regulatory agencies, the media and the public on a certain date based on the large number of facts we have learned for a long time and your various misdeeds.”

Red Star News reporters tried to contact Siba Media many times, but the calls were not connected.

After decades of "painstaking efforts", Japan's so-called "counterattack capability" – that is, the "ability to attack enemy bases" finally became a reality on March 31. The Japanese Ministry of Defense announced on the same day that the Ground Self-Defense Force has completed the deployment of domestically produced "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missiles" at the Kenjun Station in Kumamoto City and the domestically produced "Type 25 high-speed glide bombs" at the Fuji Station in Shizuoka Prefecture. This also represents the official turning point in Japan's defense policy, which previously advocated "exclusive defense".

The missile is launched from a ground vehicle-mounted launcher and has a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers.

The so-called "Type 25 land-based anti-ship missile" is actually the "Improved Type 12 land-based anti-ship missile" that has repeatedly made headlines in the media. As a newly developed stealth cruise missile, it is launched from a ground vehicle-mounted launcher and has a range of about 1,000 kilometers. Kyodo News Agency of Japan unabashedly claimed that its strike range can cover some coastal areas of mainland China.

The "Type 25 high-speed gliding bomb" is Japan's domestically produced hypersonic missile mentioned many times in the Japanese defense white paper – "high-speed gliding bomb for island defense." Although the "island defense" in its name makes it sound like a "defensive weapon," the missile is actually an out-and-out attack "fang."

missile launch screen

According to data previously released by Japanese media, the "Type 25 high-speed gliding bomb" adopts a boosted gliding technology route and has the ability to sustain flight exceeding Mach 5 in the atmosphere and maneuvering orbit characteristics. It is difficult for existing air defense systems to effectively counter it. In other words, this missile is currently Japan's long-range weapon with the best penetration capability. What is currently being deployed is only the initial model, which is actually more similar to a medium-to-short-range ballistic missile with terminal maneuverable orbit change, with a range of about 500-900 kilometers.

The Block 2A model, planned to be deployed starting from fiscal year 2027, will have a range increased to 2,000 kilometers. It will adopt a double-cone layout and its overall penetration capability will be more prominent. Deployed from the Japanese mainland, its range has covered the entire Korean Peninsula, most key areas in the Russian Far East including Vladivostok, and major coastal cities in China. Which Japanese island needs such a long range and such a powerful penetration capability to defend it?

The final version of the missile, the Block 2B model, is planned to be put into service in the early 2030s, with a range further increased to about 3,000 kilometers. It will adopt a waverider design and have stronger mobile penetration capabilities. In terms of range, the missile's strike range covers a large part of China. Considering that its Block 2A model has already covered the main targets in North Korea and the Russian Far East, it can be said that the Block 2B model of this missile is an offensive weapon specially developed by Japan to target China.

As the Japanese media stated, these two missiles, which are clearly characterized by the Ministry of Defense as having "counterattack capabilities," have broken the "exclusive defense" policy that Japan has adhered to since the end of World War II. They also represent the final "result" of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party's long-term efforts to break through the restrictions of Japan's pacifist constitution.

Screenshots from Japanese media reports

Since the beginning of this century, the Liberal Democratic Party has semi-publicly discussed that Japan should have the "preemptive" capability to "launch attacks on enemy bases" in the name of dealing with North Korean missiles. In 2009, for the first time, the Liberal Democratic Party explicitly wrote "having the ability to attack enemy bases" in a formal policy recommendation document; in 2013, Shinzo Abe's cabinet included "the ability to attack enemy bases" in the "Defense Plan Outline" discussion, raising the possibility of "preemptive strike", further strengthening the offensive nature of this capability; in August 2017, then Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera began to formally consider the necessity of the Self-Defense Forces deploying offensive weapons to gain the ability to attack enemy bases.

In December 2022, the Japanese government officially adopted the new version of the "National Security Strategy", "Defense Plan Outline" and "Medium-term Defense Force Preparation Plan" (collectively known as the "Three Security Documents"). This is a fundamental shift in Japan's post-war defense policy. For the first time, it was clearly stated that Japan "develops and possesses a 'counterattack capability'", which is defined as "the ability to strike at enemy missile launch bases and other targets in order to prevent the enemy from attacking again when it is attacked by force", thus seeking the "legal basis" for Japan to strike at the enemy's homeland targets from a long distance.

What's even more ironic is that long before the new version of the "Three Security Documents" was passed, the development of the "Improved Type 12 land-based anti-ship missile" had been officially launched in 2020 – that is to say, the Ministry of Defense began to develop this offensive weapon before the relevant Japanese domestic regulations "permitted" the Self-Defense Forces to obtain "counterattack capabilities."

From these signs, it can be confirmed that Japan has already made deliberate efforts to develop offensive "fangs" against neighboring countries. Japan's continued breakthroughs in "remilitarization" deserve high vigilance from the international community.

What is even more disturbing is that Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning revealed on March 31 that the Self-Defense Forces officer who broke into the Chinese Embassy in Japan with a knife suddenly changed his mind after the Self-Defense Forces received a nine-month reserve cadre training course. What ideas did the Self-Defense Forces instill in him during this process? What education was given?

China News Service, Nanchang, March 30 (Reporter Li Yunhan) As of the end of February this year, the cumulative amount of entrepreneurial guaranteed loans in Jiangxi Province exceeded 300 billion yuan for the first time in the country, reaching 304.1 billion yuan. Behind these numbers, 1.87 million entrepreneurs got their first pot of gold, which also created 8.22 million jobs.

From its beginning in 2002 to breaking through the 300 billion yuan mark in the spring of 2026, how did a series of entrepreneurial guaranteed loans flow into the urban and rural corners of the land of Gansu and Po, allowing the seeds of entrepreneurship to take root and the branches and leaves of employment to flourish?

Precise financial drip irrigation, targeting key groups

The core logic of entrepreneurial guaranteed loans is "you start a business, and I will subsidize the interest." But how can we maximize the leverage of limited financial funds and accurately benefit the people who need it most? Jiangxi’s answer is: focus on people’s livelihood and make targeted efforts.

It is understood that the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have included this work in people's livelihood practical projects for 20 consecutive years, focusing on six key groups such as people with employment difficulties, college graduates, migrant workers who have returned to their hometowns to start businesses, people who have been lifted out of poverty, fishermen who have retired from fishing, and retired military personnel. The effect of this "precision drip irrigation" was particularly significant during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period: Jiangxi supported 238,100 people in six key groups and issued loans of 41.948 billion yuan, which was 2.85 times that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.

Huang Wangyan, director of the Financial Supervision Division of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Finance, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the central finance allocated Jiangxi a total of 3.16 billion yuan in interest subsidies and subsidies, of which it exceeded 1 billion yuan for the first time in 2025; the provincial finance allocated a total of 1.39 billion yuan; the city and county finances cumulatively supplemented the guarantee fund with a total of 350 million yuan.

The guarantee of fiscal funds is the key to the implementation of policies, and it is this multi-level fund guarantee system of "central subsidy, provincial investment, and city and county follow-up" that is building a solid "fund pool" for entrepreneurs.

It is worth mentioning that the stable entrepreneurial subsidy policy launched by Jiangxi in 2024 has reduced the cost of starting a business for 43,700 entrepreneurs through the method of "enjoyment without application and direct subsidy from the system". This proactive service model of "finding people based on policies" allows financial funds to truly "drip" into the hearts of entrepreneurs.

Finance takes multiple measures to solve difficulties and clear blockages

The biggest headaches for entrepreneurs are often "difficulty in getting a first loan" and "difficulty in guaranteeing". Faced with this pain point, the Jiangxi Branch of the People's Bank of China and financial institutions have launched a "combination punch" to make financial "live water" not only "flow", but also "flow smoothly."

According to Lin Hai, director of the Credit Policy Management Department of the Jiangxi Branch of the People's Bank of China, the bank has set up a separate re-loan quota to support agriculture and small businesses, which will be used as a priority to encourage local corporate banking institutions to increase lending in the field of entrepreneurship and employment. At present, a total of 15 national banks in the province have opened business guaranteed loans in Gansu branches and 6 local corporate banks, achieving full coverage of institutional types.

In order to solve the problem of "guarantee difficulty", Jiangxi has explored and constructed a market credit guarantee reform model in which "government + bank + financial guarantee" three parties share risks. In 2023, Jiangxi Province took the lead in launching a pilot reform of loans for small and micro enterprises founded by high-level (high-skilled) talents, increasing the guarantee-free limit from 1 million yuan to 2 million yuan; in 2024, Xinyu and Ganzhou included personal loans in the scope of the reform pilot; in 2025, it was extended to the entire province. Through this model, nearly 600 unsecured and unsecured entrepreneurs have been helped to meet their financing needs.

In addition, various regions in Jiangxi also launch special products based on local conditions. For example: Jingdezhen City has tailor-made "Jingpiao Loan" for foreign entrepreneurs; Yujiang District of Yingtan City has launched "Yukuai Loan" to help entrepreneurs in the preparatory period take the "first step" in opening their business; Jiujiang City, Xinyu City, and Shangrao City have respectively focused on special industry chain products such as "Refining and Chemical Loan", "Mizu Loan" and "Photovoltaic Loan" to deeply bind financial flows with local industries.

Improved service quality and efficiency, and digital empowerment is convenient and accessible

How to enable entrepreneurs to "go into battle with ease" will test service efficiency. Jiangxi relies on the 5+2 Employment Home service platform to promote service quality and efficiency through digital transformation, allowing "more data to travel and less people to travel."

In terms of simplifying procedures, the Jiangxi Human Resources and Social Security Department has connected key data from public security, civil affairs, market supervision and other departments to achieve "one-certificate processing" for personal loans, and the number of application materials for small and micro enterprises has been reduced from 7 to 2. In terms of shortening the time, the collective approval system of the loan review committee has been canceled for personal loans below 300,000 yuan, and the two-level approval system has been fully implemented. The average processing time of a single business has been reduced from 15 days in 2020 to 10 days in 2025. In terms of handheld processing, through the 5+2 Employment Home service platform, integrated services such as policy inquiry, business processing, and progress tracking are realized.

"Through a series of measures, the human resources and social security departments at all levels have continuously improved the quality and efficiency of services, making social services more powerful and warm, and have won the recognition and praise of entrepreneurs." Guo Jinliang, director of the Jiangxi Provincial Employment and Entrepreneurship Service Center, said that the Jiangxi human resources and social security departments actively promote data sharing, simplify processing procedures, expand processing channels, and provide entrepreneurs with efficient, convenient and transparent entrepreneurial guaranteed loan processing services.

This year, Jiangxi will also launch three new service measures: gradually canceling the loan renewal procedures, personal loans can be repaid in three years before the principal is repaid, and small and micro enterprise loans can be repaid in two years; adding a mobile application channel for small and micro enterprise loans; and proactively pushing policies and application portals to newly registered market entities by sharing data from market supervision departments. This means that entrepreneurs can enjoy full-process services from policy information to loan application without leaving home. (over)
