The former "star prosecutor", why did he ultimately choose to leave for overseas?

In Chai Jing's interview, she spoke with a former "star prosecutor" who worked within the system for 23 years, yet ultimately decided to leave and go abroad. Every word he said makes one ponder deeply... Why did he choose to leave? The power of fear: He said he had struggled countless times between "compliance" and "persistence", and was ultimately tamed by fear, learning to stay silent. The shattering of ideals: He once believed in fairness and justice, believing his work could make the world better. But the layers of pressure in reality forced him to compromise... The dilemma within the system: He candidly admitted that in that environment, many people were "leveling

【Trump unexpectedly becomes the savior of Canada's Liberal Party?!】International political drama takes a twist!

On February 4, U.S. President Trump announced tariffs on Canadian exports, a decision that triggered strong reactions within Canada. The Liberal Party, which was at a low point, unexpectedly gained a glimmer of political life due to this tariff dispute. Trump's tariff policy and Canada's response The Trump administration's tariff threats against Canadian exports have been erratic, and this time it proposed a highly controversial condition: if Canada agreed to become the "51st state" of the U.S., the tariff issue would be waived. This remark quickly sparked outrage in Canada, with over 90% of Canadians clearly opposing it and beginning to adopt a series of boycott measures, including:

Myanmar coup 4th anniversary: China repeatedly intervenes in civil war, 'Sinophobia' sentiment heats up in Myanmar society

It has been 4 years since Myanmar's military strongman Min Aung Hlaing launched the coup on February 1, 2021. The days of uncompromising people fleeing into the jungle to cooperate with 'Ethnic Armed Organizations' (abbreviated as EAOs) in armed resistance have also entered their 4th year. Four years of brutal warfare have devastated Myanmar. According to the UN's 2024 human rights report, the civil war has led to nearly 2 million internally displaced persons in Myanmar, with over one-third of the country's population, about 18 million people, in urgent need of humanitarian aid. In the intense fighting in northern Myanmar, on January 18, 2025, China mediated a ceasefire agreement between the Myanmar military and resistance forces.

As the U.S. tightens immigration controls, deportations of Chinese immigrants continue

The Trump administration has confirmed that deportations of Chinese citizens are still underway as part of a broader effort to enforce U.S. immigration law. Earlier this week, an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wrote in an email response to Voice of America (VOA) that any immigrant in the U.S. illegally will be removed by the agency. "ICE continues to conduct removals of individuals to the People's Republic of China. Due to operational security considerations, ICE will not confirm future removal actions until the individuals are returned to their home country," the ICE official said in an anonymous background briefing on Tuesday. This is a common method of anonymity used by U.S. officials.

This wave of executive actions was designed to overturn many of President Biden's most significant domestic policies, mainly in the areas of climate and immigration, while also reasserting Trump's agenda, which would launch drilling and extraction of natural resources and fundamentally upend America's global role as a haven for refugees and immigrants.

Canada has 50,000 international students not attending classes as required, with India accounting for half! Immigration enforcement tightens!

Recently, according to government data from spring 2024, compliance issues among international students in Canada have drawn widespread attention. The data shows that nearly 50,000 international students failed to show up for classes at their colleges and universities, sparking heated debate about the effectiveness of Canada's international student compliance system. According to statistics from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this absence rate accounts for 6.9% of all international students. Canada has had an international student compliance system in place since 2014, requiring designated learning institutions to report twice a year on whether international students are enrolled and attending classes as required. The system is designed to prevent non-compliant students from abusing study permits and to promptly identify any suspicious activity.
