Michael Dittmar ist ein echtes Urgestein der Kfz-Branche: Seit über 40 Jahren dabei, davon 34 als selbstständiger Kfz-Meister in Bochum – und seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt mit Elektroautos vertraut. Dass er Anfang April 2025 nach China gereist ist, hat unser Gespräch im Podcast besonders spannend gemacht. Ich wollte wissen: Was läuft dort anders – und was vielleicht sogar besser? Michael hat gleich zu Beginn klargemacht, dass China und Europa keine Frage von „weiter“ oder „zurück“ ist, sondern schlicht von anders. In China gibt es bislang keinen funktionierenden IAM, also keinen unabhängigen Aftermarket – ein Konzept, das für uns selbstverständlich ist. Werkstätten findet man dort kaum sichtbar im Stadtbild, auch klassische Vertragshändler sucht man vergeblich. Das System läuft stark digitalisiert und zentral gesteuert ab, etwa über Super-Apps wie WeChat. Ein besonders eindrückliches Beispiel schilderte Michael aus einer Auto-Reinigung: Statt Waschanlage übernehmen dort sechs Mitarbeitende mit Schwamm und Eimer die Pflege – mit beeindruckender Effizienz. „Wenn einer krank wird, drücken drei Neue nach“, meinte Michael augenzwinkernd. Ein Bild, das deutlich zeigt: Personal ist in China (noch) kein Engpass. Trotz dieser Unterschiede sieht Michael Europa in vielen Bereichen vorn – vor allem beim Zugang zu Reparaturdaten und Ersatzteilen. „Wir werden hier ja gefühlt geflutet mit minderwertigen chinesischen Ersatzteilen – dort ist es umgekehrt: Die kriegen oft keine Teile, und wenn, dann freuen sie sich über unsere deutschen Marken.“ Auch der Umgang mit Daten ist ein Thema: Während bei uns das „Recht auf Reparatur“ gilt, steht China hier noch ganz am Anfang. Die Regierung versucht derzeit, Hersteller zur Datenfreigabe zu bewegen – in Europa längst Standard. Auch das Ladeverhalten ist in China völlig anders: Während wir auf Reichweite setzen, zählt dort vor allem Schnelligkeit. „Fünf Minuten von zehn auf achtzig Prozent – das ist das Ziel“, so Michael. Ein interessanter Nebeneffekt: Es gibt in China ein eigenes Werkstattangebot für Battery Balancing. Die schnelle Ladegeschwindigkeit lässt dem Batteriemanagementsystem keine Zeit zum Ausgleichen der Zellen – also wird regelmäßig nachgebessert. Doch nicht alles ist so durchorganisiert, wie es auf den ersten Blick scheint. Bei einem Werkstattbesuch zeigte sich: Arbeitssicherheit und Reparaturprozesse sind dort oft improvisiert. „Da war eine Batterie mit Klebeband und Scheibenkleber zusammengebaut – das war Realität“, schildert Michael. Die Batteriehersteller schicken im Fall eines Defekts sogenannte Flying Doctors – statt die Werkstätten zu befähigen, selbst zu reparieren. Ein echtes Kontrastprogramm zu unserem System. Trotzdem erkennt Michael auch Potenziale: „Hands-on ist gar nicht schlecht. Ich finde gut, dass man sich was traut, wo wir vielleicht überreguliert sind.“ Ein Beispiel: Battery Balancing könnte auch hierzulande eine spannende Zusatzdienstleistung sein – gerade für Vielfahrer mit älteren Akkus. Insgesamt ist für ihn klar: Europa steht gar nicht so schlecht da. „Wir sind nicht schlechter als sie – im Gegenteil. Aber wir dürfen unseren Vorsprung nicht verspielen.“ Besonders die chinesische Lernbereitschaft und Effizienz könnten uns künftig herausfordern. „Wenn die hier ausgebildet würden, die würden alles sofort umsetzen.“ Nun aber genug der Einblicke aus Fernost – hör selbst rein in unser spannendes Gespräch.

When Qiong Yan stopped answering video calls in late 2020, her mother grew anxious. But the texts kept coming. They were short. Strange. But still hers… weren't they? Qiong lived in Brisbane, sharing an apartment with Yang Zhao — a man drowning in debt. Over ten months, Zhao impersonated Qiong through WeChat, replying to every message and stealing nearly half a million dollars. All while Qiong's body decomposed metres away — locked inside a metal toolbox on the balcony. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we unravel one of Australia's most quietly horrifying crimes: a murder without a scream, and a fraud built on silence. If you're looking for a true crime story where the horror lies in what was hidden… this one will stay with you.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Chinese courts are intensifying their crackdown on crimes against minors, underscoring a "zero-tolerance" stance with the recent execution of three child rapists, the Supreme People's Court announced.中国法院正在加大对未成年人犯罪的打击力度，并强调其“零容忍”立场，最近最高人民法院宣布处决了三名虐童强奸犯。The top court emphasized its unwavering determination to severely punish child sexual abuse, detailing the cases of the three men executed on Friday after their death sentences were approved.最高法院强调了其严惩儿童性虐待犯罪的坚定决心，并详细介绍了周五被核准处决的三名男子的案件。One of them, identified only as Zhao, exploited his position as an instructor at an illegal education center between April 2018 and March 2019.其中一人名叫赵某，他利用自己在一家非法教育中心担任教师的职务之便，于2018年4月至2019年3月期间被捕。In collaboration with others, he detained dozens of minor students, subjecting them to beatings, verbal abuse, forced labor and confinement.他伙同他人拘禁了数十名未成年学生，对他们进行殴打、辱骂、强迫劳动和监禁。Zhao also repeatedly raped eight minor female students, including three girls under 14, using psychological control. He forced the victims to take contraceptives over an extended period, leading to gynecological problems in multiple victims.赵某还多次强奸八名未成年女学生，其中包括三名未满14岁的女童，并实施心理控制。他强迫受害者长期服用避孕药，导致多名受害者出现妇科问题。In addition to rape, Zhao was convicted of intentional injury and fraud.除了强奸罪外，赵某还被判处故意伤害罪和诈骗罪。The Supreme People's Court stated that while combating offenders who use their positions of power to victimize children, Chinese courts have also strengthened efforts against those who exploit the internet to lure and harm children.最高人民法院表示，中国法院在严厉打击利用职权侵害儿童的违法犯罪分子的同时，也加大了对利用网络引诱伤害儿童犯罪分子的打击力度。In another case, a man surnamed Wang used online platforms between September 2019 and May 2022 to lure elementary and middle school girls by posing as a female student or as a director searching for child actors.另一起案件中，一名王姓男子于2019年9月至2022年5月期间，利用网络平台，冒充女学生或导演寻找童星，引诱中小学生。He initially solicited nude and inappropriate photos and videos from the children. Then he used excuses such as "checking their bodies for acting roles" or threats to expose the improper content to meet the victims in person, after which he sexually assaulted and raped them.他先是向孩子们索要裸照和不当照片、视频，随后以“检查身体是否适合演戏”等借口，或威胁曝光不当内容，要求与受害者见面，随后对她们实施性侵和强奸。Wang harmed nine children, seven of whom were under 14 and one who had developmental disabilities. He filmed the rapes to further coerce and continue the abuse, subjecting some girls to long-term and repeated rapes and severe humiliation. Additionally, he sexually assaulted 10 other girls and one boy.王姓男子伤害了9名儿童，其中7名未满14岁，1名患有发育性残疾。他拍摄强奸过程，进一步胁迫并持续实施虐待，一些女孩遭受长期、反复的强奸和严重羞辱。此外，他还性侵了另外10名女孩和1名男孩。The third executed individual, Chen, was a repeat offender who had previously been imprisoned for rape.第三名被处决的陈某是一名惯犯，此前曾因强奸罪入狱。Between January and April 2022, he posed as a peer and joined over 20 QQ and WeChat groups created by middle school students. He befriended female students in these groups and lured some of them to meet him in person, and then raped them.2022年1月至4月期间，他假扮同伴，加入了20多个由中学生创建的QQ群和微信群。他与群里的女学生交朋友，并引诱部分女学生与他见面，然后强奸她们。Chen raped three girls under 14 a total of seven times and attempted to rape another female student. He filmed the rapes to blackmail the victims into further sexual assaults, causing some to self-harm, attempt suicide or drop out of school.陈某共强奸了三名未满14岁的女孩七次，并试图强奸另一名女学生。他拍摄了强奸过程，以此勒索受害者进一步实施性侵犯，导致部分受害者自残、自杀或辍学。Furthermore, he organized group rapes of one girl under 14 on three separate occasions and profited by introducing others to rape her.此外，他还组织他人三次轮奸一名未满14岁的女孩，并通过介绍他人强奸她来牟利。Chen was ultimately sentenced to death for multiple crimes, including rape, child molestation and extortion.陈某最终因强奸、猥亵儿童和敲诈勒索等多项罪名被判处死刑。"The executions for the three criminals this time have demonstrated our courts' resolute stance on severely punishing such offenses, sending a strong message to the entire society that those who harm children will be harshly penalized without mercy," the top court emphasized.最高法院强调：“此次对三名罪犯的执行，彰显了我们法院严惩此类犯罪的坚定立场，向全社会发出了严厉惩处侵害儿童犯罪的强烈信号。”The court urged educational and training institutions that teach children to tighten supervision and improve employee management. It also called on internet service providers to fulfill their cybersecurity obligations by taking measures to eradicate harmful information online and promptly detect and block material that may contribute to the sexual assaults of minors.法院敦促教育培训机构加强监管，改进人员管理。同时，法院还呼吁互联网服务提供商履行网络安全义务，采取措施清除网络有害信息，及时发现并屏蔽可能导致未成年人性侵的内容。Family has a role家庭的作用The role that families play in protecting minors was also underscored, with the court demanding that parents and guardians fulfill their duties to care for and nurture their children. Failure to do so will result in criminal punishment, it added.法院还强调了家庭在保护未成年人方面的作用，要求父母及监护人履行抚养子女的义务。否则，将受到刑事处罚。In a case made public last week, a man surnamed Liu was sentenced to 16 months in prison for child abandonment. Following a divorce, he obtained custody of his son but repeatedly and intentionally left the boy in places such as school and the subway between 2018 and 2019.在上周公布的一起案件中，一名刘姓男子因遗弃儿童被判处16个月有期徒刑。离婚后，他获得了儿子的监护权，但在2018年至2019年期间，多次故意将儿子遗弃在学校、地铁等场所。Despite receiving education and administrative detention, he continued his irresponsible actions, causing serious harm to his son's physical and mental health.尽管接受了教育和行政拘留，他仍然继续这种不负责任的行为，对儿子的身心健康造成了严重损害。"Parents are obligated to support, educate and protect their minor children," the top court stated. "After divorce, the parent who has custody should fulfill their duty. Family conflicts or personal issues don't exempt them from that responsibility."最高法院表示：“父母对未成年子女负有抚养、教育和保护的义务。离婚后，拥有监护权的父母一方应当履行监护义务。家庭矛盾或个人问题并不能免除其监护责任。”The court clarified that abandoning a child is not a trivial family matter and that parents who refuse to perform their duties and cause great harm to their children will be held criminally liable.法院明确指出，遗弃孩子并非家庭琐事，拒绝履行监护义务并对子女造成重大伤害的父母将被追究刑事责任。Supreme People's Court最高人民法院molestation/ˌmɒlɛˈsteɪʃən/n.猥亵；性骚扰extortion/ɪkˈstɔːrʃən/n.勒索；敲诈administrative detention行政拘留

Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. And welcome back to the program. Please join us in welcoming, attorney general Alan Wilson. Attorney general Wilson, how are you, sir? Wait a minute. There you are. I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing absolutely fantastic. Boy, I tell you what, you guys have been pretty busy in the AG's office. Is there ever do you guys ever take a break? No. We're always on. You get you're getting your tax dollars out of me, Charlie. Absolutely. You you guys sent me an email, a text about this. I I had no idea. Boy, I tell you what, these these drug traffickers, they're getting really tech savvy out there. There's a Chinese Fentanyl app. It's called WeChat. Yeah. WeChat is basically if if signal and Venmo and Instagram all got put in the blender, and that would be the new app. It's basically a peer to peer app that you can transfer money on and do social media post on. And, basically, Mexican drug cartels and Chinese money launderers and other illicit actors are using it to transfer money and basically launder money for illicit drug trafficking purposes. And it's a Chinese owned app. The Chinese it's a Chinese company. And so this is an app that is being, circ used to circumvent the law. Charlie, you know, president Trump has done an excellent job of shutting down the physical border of this country, but we have a digital border that bad guys are stuck trying to get around right now, and WeChat is one of those digital borders they're using. So, I mean, what would because I know, I'd be you your office and the AG over there, up there in North Carolina, you guys work together. What has been the headway that you've made against people using this app? So we're still in the beginning of this, but, basically, this is a bipartisan effort. Obviously, he's a Democrat. I'm a Republican, but we have a bipartisan letter that he and I led from AGs around the country. Basically, we sent it to WeChat. And, basically, we're asking WeChat, we know that peep that bad guys are using your platform to transfer and launder money. We wanna know what you know and when did you know it, and what are you gonna do about it. And we're waiting on them to respond to us in the next thirty days. Otherwise, we're gonna pursue potential legal courses of action. I can't go into it right now. Right. But this is I mean, the fentanyl crisis in this country is off the charts. President Trump has done an incredible job of shutting down the borders, and we're bailing out all of the water out of the proverbial boat that is America. But there is so much bad stuff that is here. Illegal aliens, drugs, gang members, Mexican cartel trafficking is going on in our state. Enough is enough, and that's why we're going after them. You're exactly right. And that brings up the case of Larisha Thompson murdered by, well, murdered, six illegal aliens, in in, Lancaster. And it's just a horrible case, a horrible story. What can we do about illegal aliens and gang activity here in South Carolina? Well, first off, I've a couple of weeks ago, I was doing a ride along with a law enforcement agency till 01:30 in the morning. They were doing sting operations with illegal aliens that were members of Trende Arago, which is a violent Venezuelan gang. Mhmm. And I was able to watch, you know, law enforcement, you know, do amazing work. When everyone else is sleeping, they were out there as the tip of the spear. What I can tell you about law enforcement right now is we are working to get all of our local sheriffs and police chiefs that can be a member of the two eighty seven g program, which is a federal program that is that allows local law enforcement to basically be deputized ICE officers.

À la veille des 100 jours du deuxième mandat de Donald Trump, focus sur une conséquence de sa guerre commerciale avec la Chine. Face aux droits de douane massifs imposés par Washington, Pékin organise la riposte pour soutenir ses entreprises, avec en première ligne ses champions du numérique. Décryptage. Depuis l'instauration de droits de douane de 145% par les États-Unis, les distributeurs chinois prennent des mesures pour soutenir leurs entreprises. La conséquence directe de cette guerre commerciale, ce sont des montagnes d'invendus qui s'accumulent dans les entrepôts chinois. Et pour cause : les États-Unis étaient, jusqu'à l'an passé, le premier acheteur de biens chinois, avec près de 500 milliards de dollars d'importations. Concrètement, près d'un produit sur cinq fabriqué en Chine était destiné au marché américain : vêtements, jouets, chaussures ou composants électroniques. Aujourd'hui, des milliers d'entreprises chinoises cherchent de nouveaux débouchés, notamment sur leur propre marché intérieur. Le ministère du Commerce chinois parle même de « choc », et appelle à transformer le marché intérieur en véritable bouée de sauvetage. À lire aussiLes petits producteurs chinois, grands perdants des mesures de Donald TrumpAlibaba et JD.COM en première ligne Pour mener cette stratégie, Pékin mise sur ses géants technologiques comme Alibaba et JD.COM. Ainsi, JD.COM a lancé un fonds de 200 milliards de yuans, soit environ 27 milliards de dollars, pour acheter directement les stocks des entreprises exportatrices. Le groupe identifie des fournisseurs stratégiques dont les produits sont ensuite mis en avant sur sa plate-forme pour séduire le marché local. Alibaba suit une stratégie similaire : le géant du e-commerce réserve une place de choix sur son site à 10 000 exportateurs et 100 000 produits, afin d'accroître leur visibilité. L'idée est claire : offrir aux entreprises touchées par la guerre commerciale américaine une meilleure exposition sur le marché chinois et favoriser ainsi l'absorption de leurs stocks. À lire aussiChine: le président Xi Jinping reçoit le gratin du secteur privé, dont Jack Ma, le fondateur d'AlibabaUne mobilisation qui dépasse le e-commerce Le soutien aux exportateurs ne se limite pas aux plates-formes en ligne. Les réseaux sociaux chinois comme WeChat, Douyin ou TikTok mettent également en place des programmes de promotion ciblée pour les aider. Même les supermarchés traditionnels s'adaptent : Walmart, filiale chinoise du géant américain, ouvre ses rayons aux entreprises locales frappées par les mesures américaines. Un objectif central guide cette mobilisation : éviter que toute l'économie chinoise ne soit plombée. La consommation intérieure reste fragile, affectée par la morosité économique et les incertitudes sur l'emploi. Si les entreprises venaient à fermer, cela entraînerait une vague de suppressions de postes. De plus, la concurrence féroce entre exportateurs pour séduire les mêmes clients pourrait déclencher une guerre des prix dévastatrice. Sans compter que les produits initialement destinés au marché américain ne sont pas toujours adaptés aux consommateurs chinois, ce qui entraîne des coûts logistiques supplémentaires et réduit les marges. Si l'aide des géants du numérique semble bienvenue, elle devra être soutenue sur la durée, car derrière cette crise, c'est toute la dépendance structurelle de la Chine aux exportations que Pékin tente, coûte que coûte, de corriger.À lire aussiLe reste du monde se prépare à une inondation de produits chinois bon marché

Kineska superaplikacija WeChat privukla je pozornost australskih medija 2016. godine, kada je otkriveno da kineski Australci putem nje prate savezne izbore. Od tada traje rasprava o dezinformacijama usmjerenima na multikulturalne zajednice putem društvenih mreža koje nisu na engleskom jeziku, poput WeChata. Unatoč sve većoj svijesti, Australija možda ni ove izbore nije spremna suočiti se s tim izazovom.

In 2016, Chinese super app WeChat caught the attention of the Australian media after Chinese Australian voters were found to be engaging with the federal election on the platform. Since then, there's been ongoing discussion about misinformation targeting multicultural communities on non-English social media platforms like WeChat. Despite the increased community awareness, Australia may not be prepared to address the issue this election.

در سال ۲۰۱۶ پس از آنکه مشخص شد رای دهندگان چینی استرالیایی در پلتفرم چینی «وی چت» WeChat در خصوص انتخابات فدرال استرالیا کسب اطلاعات می کنند، این اپ توجه رسانه های استرالیایی را به خود جلب کرد. از آن زمان، بحث‌های مداومی در مورد اطلاعات نادرست که جوامع چندفرهنگی را در پلتفرم‌های رسانه‌های اجتماعی غیرانگلیسی زبان مانند وی چت هدف قرار می‌دهد، صورت گرفته است. و این در حالی است که با وجود افزایش آگاهی جامعه، استرالیا ممکن است آماده رسیدگی به این موضوع در انتخابات آتی فدرال نباشد.

Vào năm 2016, ứng dụng Trung Quốc WeChat đã thu hút sự chú ý của truyền thông Úc sau khi người ta phát hiện cử tri gốc Hoa ở Úc đang tương tác với cuộc bầu cử liên bang thông qua nền tảng này. Kể từ đó, đã có nhiều cuộc thảo luận liên tục về vấn đề thông tin sai lệch nhắm vào các cộng đồng đa văn hóa trên các mạng xã hội không sử dụng tiếng Anh, như WeChat.

What if the real reason students aren't owning their learning... is because the data about their progress stays locked in a teacher's spreadsheet? In today's episode, we tackle one of the biggest missed opportunities in education: when rich data about student learning stays hidden from the very people it matters to most — students. I sit down with Daniel Rosenberg from Otis to explore how giving students direct access to their learning data can radically personalize instruction, build real student agency, and make teaching more impactful (and less overwhelming). You'll discover: Why “data rich but information poor” is holding schools back — and how to fix it. How AI-powered tools are making it easier than ever for teachers to spot trends and plan faster interventions. How giving students visibility into their progress creates faster, smarter interventions. Real examples of students using their own data to set goals and shape their learning journeys. How platforms like Otis are making this shift simple for teachers, not harder. Ready to turn student data into student power? Tune in and learn how a small shift can spark big outcomes!

Energy has the power to transform—I know because it transformed me. My journey with Reiki began in 2018, opening a path to deep healing and stillness. Guided by world-renowned teachers like William Lee Rand and Colleen Benelli, I trained at Mount Kurama, Japan, and studied sound healing in Nepal, where I discovered the profound influence of frequency and vibration. In India, I deepened my practice of meditation and Hatha yoga, strengthening my connection to breath, stillness, and holistic healing. Blending Reiki, sound healing, and meditation, I help others reconnect with their inner light, awaken self-healing, and step into authenticity. My role is not to fix but to hold space—guiding others to trust their intuition and reveal the healing power within.
