Chinese authorities have shut down several social media accounts for spreading false information about the military, including fabricated stories about Chinese warships sinking foreign vessels and prolonged electronic warfare in the South China Sea, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China. 中央网信办发布通报，近期军地职能部门依法依规处置了一批网上违法违规信息及自媒体账号，包括散布“我舰艇击沉外军军舰”谣言、编造“南海电子战”等虚假内容。In a news release on Monday, the administration disclosed a series of cases in which some personal media accounts "speculated and fabricated false information, and engaged in speculative hype".在28日发布的消息中，中央网信办遴选通报了一些自媒体账号“臆测编造虚假信息，捕风捉影关联炒作”的一系列案例。Personal media accounts refer to non-institutional content publishers on social media platforms such as WeChat, Weibo or video-sharing platform Douyin. They publish news or information even though they are not operated or approved by the government or any other authoritative entities.自媒体账号指微信、微博或视频共享平台抖音等社交媒体平台上的非机构内容发布者。它们发布的新闻或信息，均未由政府或任何其他权威实体运营或批准。According to the news release, the primary violations made by the owners of these self-media accounts include concocting military rumors, distorting military history, tarnishing the image of the armed forces and misinterpreting military policies.根据通报，这些自媒体账号所有者的主要违规行为包括捏造军事谣言、杜撰军事史实、抹黑军队形象和曲解军事政策等。It said that these accounts "seriously misled public perception and affected the image of the armed forces and military personnel".中央网信办称，这些自媒体账号“严重误导公众认知，影响军队军人形象”。The release noted that some social media accounts exploited people's patriotic sentiments by posting fake stories. For instance, two WeChat public accounts spread rumors about Chinese naval vessels sinking four foreign warships, it said.通报指出，一些自媒体账号消费群众爱国情怀、发布虚假故事。例如，两个微信公众号散布“我舰艇击沉四艘外军军舰”等谣言。Some accounts used splicing, editing and other techniques to create sensational military stories, fabricating incidents such as a "12-hour electronic war in the South China Sea" and "border clashes".有的账号通过拼凑、嫁接、剪辑等方式，炮制军事“爽文”、“自嗨”解读，编造“南海电子战12小时”、“边境爆发冲突”等虚假内容。Additionally, the news release pointed out that some accounts, under the pretext of uncovering secrets, engaged in "historical nihilism", distorting facts about the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).此外，通报还指出，一些账号以解密探秘的名义搞历史虚无主义，歪曲中国人民抗日战争（1931-1945年）和抗美援朝战争（1950-1953年）的军事史实。For example, some accounts on the Quora-like knowledge-sharing platform Zhihu falsely claimed that "only a small portion of Japanese troops were killed by guerrilla warfare in China."例如，类似Quora的知识共享平台知乎上的一些账号编排“在中国战场上被游击战打死的日军只占很小一部分”。The release said that these "erroneous opinions" distorted historical facts and created misperceptions.通报称，这些“错误论调”歪曲史实、误导认知。Meanwhile, it also said that some self-media accounts published content that tarnished the image of the military.同时，通报表示，一些自媒体账号发布的内容抹黑军队形象。A user on video-sharing platform Bilibili "maliciously" posted confidential information such as the names, positions and ID numbers of active-duty military personnel, according to the CAC. 中央网信办称，视频共享平台B站UP主恶意发布现役军人姓名、部职别、身份证号等涉密信息。Two Douyin accounts shared a fake story about how "a son joined the army against his family's wishes, only for his mother to receive his ashes a few years later".两个抖音账号编造“儿子不顾反对去当兵，几年后母亲却见到儿子的骨灰盒”等谣言信息。Other short-video publishers spread false information, claiming that "graduates from the National University of Defense Technology could not find any employer willing to hire them a year after graduation".还有一些短视频发布者散布虚假信息，声称“儿子从国防科大毕业一年了，没有一家愿意录用”。Furthermore, the news release highlighted that some social media accounts distorted and misinterpreted military-related policies, becoming key targets for a crackdown.此外，通报还强调，一些自媒体账号曲解军事政策，成为重点打击对象。Some accounts speculated and spread false information related to the civilian personnel system, and some even cited rumors about "the military's involvement in financial wars". Others incited negative sentiments toward the military among netizens, the release said.一些账号炒作和传播歪曲文职人员制度等不实信息，有些甚至臆测散布“军队参与金融战”等不实信息。通报称，还有一些账号煽动网民对军队的负面情绪。For example, some accounts hyped up rumors that "maintaining an army consumes massive funds", and called for "cutting 200,000 troops to ease fiscal pressure", thereby stirring up conflicts between the military and the public.例如，一些账号炒作“养一支军队耗费海量资金”，鼓噪“裁军20万缓解财政压力”，挑动军地矛盾。It stressed some accounts misled public opinion by making inappropriate comparisons between military and civilian universities during the college entrance examination and recruitment seasons.通报强调，有的账号在高考季、征兵季，对军地高校招生等进行不当对比，从而误导舆论。The release also revealed several cases involving online shopping platforms.通报还揭露了几起涉及网络购物平台的案例。Some Taobao businesses used specific military-related terms and logos to sell counterfeit products, which were labeled "military-exclusive supplies".一些淘宝商家使用军队特定含义字样和图案，兜售假冒伪劣产品，并标注“军队专供”。Certain Taobao merchants used military images without authorization to conduct malicious marketing campaigns.某些淘宝商家未经授权违规使用军事图片，恶意开展营销宣传。Officials from the military and local authorities said they will continue to resolutely crack down on self-media accounts that engage in illegal activities related to the military, and strictly investigate and punish those who publish false information, according to the release.通报称，军地相关部门负责人表示，将持续坚决打击自媒体涉军违法违规行为，从严查处发布和炒作不实信息账号主体。They also welcomed participation and reports from relevant departments and netizens to jointly create a positive online environment regarding military affairs.他们同时欢迎有关部门和网民积极参与举报，共同打造涉军良好网络环境。concoctv. 捏造tarnishv. 玷污；败坏sensationaladj. 耸人听闻的stir up激起；煽动；搅拌

What ever happened with those mysterious seeds that were showing up in U.S. mailboxes? 00:33 - Michigan Department of Agriculture tweet 03:10 - USDA answers frequently asked questions about the mystery seeds, including “What should I do if I already planted the seeds?” 02:30 - Facebook post from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development 03:52 - Invasive species are no joke!!!! 04:50 - As of this writing, Snopes said there was no motive determined for the seed shipments: Are Americans Receiving Unsolicited Mailings of Seeds from China? (Snopes) 09:32 - USDA still hasn’t found anything to cause major concern, but it has now identified more species and some viruses. This is an updated comment as of Nov. 18: “Altogether, we have identified approximately 460 taxa of seeds. We have detected 2 quarantine insect pests using x-ray and 28 Federal Noxious weeds based on identifications by APHIS botanists. We have also identified 6 quarantine significant viruses or viroids using molecular testing.” Also, here are some photos of U.S.D.A. investigating the seeds with microscopes. 14:29 - Jason Koebler and Emanuel Maiberg of Motherboard. The last story Underunderstood collaborated on with Motherboard was this one. 15:05 - Hundreds of Americans Planted 'Chinese Mystery Seeds' (Motherboard) 19:16 - Zack Franklin in action 22:44 - Amazon explains fulfilled by Amazon and a little bit about fulfilled by merchant. 30:55 - ”The mysterious seed is back!

Once you get involved, you’ll start to get one-on-one messages from sellers. To clarify, I (Adrianne) have never actually ordered anything, I just lurk and try to harass people into doing an interview (100% failure rate). I’m definitely not endorsing giving your address out to strangers on the internet, but I think these guys are mostly legit. So, maybe you could give them, like, a PO box? 36:06 - ”Evaluation blacklist” — a crowdsourced list of people who accept free gifts without providing the requisite review

Épisode 353 : La mesure de confinement contre le COVID-19 vient d'être déclarée mais cela ne doit pas empêcher pas le lien social de se tisser. Si les réseaux télécom rencontrent quelques difficultés, les réseaux sociaux eux, continuent à rassembler !Retarder, ralentir, écrêter la courbe épidémique provoquée par le coronavirus. C’est le but des multiples mesures de confinement annoncées depuis quelques jours en France par le gouvernement.Avec une dernière annonce faire hier : Tout le monde doit rester chez soi. Des mesures de confinements qui vont avoir un impact notable sur notre quotidien et notre vie sociale.Avec le confinement, le trafic Internet exploseTélétravail et jeux en ligne : le coronavirus a entraîné un pic de trafic Internet équivalent à 2 millions de vidéos en une seconde. C'est le plus haut record jamais atteint par DE-CIX, carrefour mondial de l'Internet situé à Francfort.En Italie, le trafic a augmenté de 70 % sur le réseau fixe après la fermeture des écoles, a indiqué la semaine dernière le directeur général de Telecom Italia, Luigi Gubitosi. Selon CloudFlare (fournisseur d'infrastructure Internet), en Italie, l'utilisation des services de chat en ligne a été Multiplié par 3 , tandis que la quantité de trafic de streaming vidéo a doublé. Les visites sur les sites d'informations du pays ont augmenté de 30 à 60% et les jeux en ligne ont augmenté de 20%.SourceLe confinement provoque un pic dans l'accès aux applications en ChineLes téléchargements hebdomadaires d'applications en Chine ont atteint leur plus haut niveau dans les premières semaines de février, alors que les quarantaines imposées par les autorités pour contenir la propagation de Covid-19 (coronavirus) ont vu les gens se tourner vers leur téléphone pour lutter contre l'ennui et rester productifsAu cours de la semaine commençant le 2 février, les téléchargements de l'App Store ont atteint 222 millions, une augmentation de 45% du trafic hebdomadaire typique tout au long de 2019. Les applications éducatives et commerciales arrivent en tête de liste.Renforcement de la censure en chineIl est courant en Chine que les géants d’Internet expurgent en masse des contenus considérés comme sensibles politiquement. Et cette épidémie de coronavirus a été l'occasion d'un net resserrement de la censure.Suite à la vague d’indignation après la mort du médecin lanceur d’Alerte au Wuhan, les critiques envers les dirigeants et les appels a la liberté se sont fait ressentir, mais la censure a repris de plus belle pour étouffer l’information.Une étude canadienne de Citizen lab montre que la Chine a censuré pendant des semaines toute référence au nouveau coronavirus. Plus de 500 Mots clés et phrases entières bloqués sur WeChat et YY (pneumonie, virus…)Des happy hours digitales aux USAAux États Unis, des personnes ont suggéré l’idée d’organiser une «happy hour du télétravail » via le service de vidéoconférence Zoom. Ils ont tweeté un lien et environ 50 personnes se sont présentées pour plaisanter et montrer leurs animaux de compagnie et leurs bébés.Ils ont recommencé le lendemain et 75 autres personnes s’étaient jointes au groupeEn Chine, WeChat devient le média grand publicAlors que les villes, les villages et les complexes résidentiels ont été fermés ou mis en place des couvre-feux, les médias sociaux ont joué un rôle central dans la communication de crise.Les plates-formes de médias sociaux chinois, de WeChat et Weibo, à QQ, Toutiao, Douyin, Zhihu et Tieba, sont la bouée de sauvetage pour de nombreuses personnes isolées et effrayées qui sont confinées chez elles depuis plus de deux semaines, s'appuyant sur leurs téléphones mobiles pour accéder aux informations, socialiser, et commander de la nourriture.Ces plateformes constituent les médias grand public dans la guerre contre le coronavirus.Sur WeChat , la super application chinoise tout-en-un avec plus de 1,15 milliard d'utilisateurs actifs par mois, il n'y a eu qu'un seul sujet dominant: le coronavirus.Le pianiste Germano - Russe Igor Levitta annoncé qu'il se produirait gratuitement sur Twitter par exemple. Pendant le confinement, Fortnite cartonne en Italie et confirme son statut de plate-forme socialeEt en Italie, où la vie publique est au point mort car pratiquement tous les rassemblements ont été interdits, Fortnite est en effet en plein essor. Le jeu de tir Battle Royale, qui est rapidement devenu un lieu de rencontre virtuel pour les jeunes, est devenu si populaire en Italie que l'infrastructure Internet de l'entreprise est sous pression.En Italie, l’appel « Pour que le pays ne soit qu'un immense concert »C'est une formidable preuve que les réseaux sociaux sont un catalyseur de lien socialOn a tous vue cette vidéo sur les réseaux. De italiens en confinement qui depuis leur balcon pousse la chansonnette. Ils ont été appelés à jouer d'un instrument ou à donner de la voix pour que "pendant quelques minutes, (le) pays ne soit qu'un immense concert".Ils ont largement répondu présent: entonnant de la chanson de variété ou l'hymne national "Fratelli d'Italia", en couple ou enfant dans les bras, sourire aux lèvres ou doigt tendu vers les voisins parfois.En Italie, encore  : "Tutto andra bene !"Répondant à une autre initiative très partagée sur les réseaux sociaux, des Italiens affichent sur leur domicile des dessins d'arc-en-ciel, accompagnés de cette phrase "Tutto andra bene !" , soit "Tout ira bien !".Le réseau peut-il tenir ?Contraints de rester à la maison et de respecter les mesures de confinement imposées par l’épidémie de Coronavirus, les Français vont solliciter plus que coutume les réseaux.D’où la question : faut-il craindre un risque de saturation et d’engorgement qui rende notre utilisation d’internet plus compliquée, voire impossible ?Les opérateurs soutiennent que les réseaux sont dimensionnés pour absorber les pics de consommation, mais précisent qu’en cas de besoin, il sera nécessaire d’en appeler à la responsabilité numérique des Français.Source—-Nous sommes des créatures socialesNous sommes des créatures sociales et nous sommes sur le point d'être privés d'une grande partie de cette socialisation.Tout comme les retombées du coronavirus  menacent de provoquer une récession économique , il nous faut éviter une «récession sociale»: un effondrement des contacts sociaux.Certaines plateformes assouplissent leurs règles pour plus de lien social.Discord a augmenté la limite du nombre de personnes pouvant rejoindre un appel vidéo gratuit à 50 .D’autres s’organisent et font du Co-Working par télétravail.On constate déjà que le nombre de contenu publié en live sur Instagram ne cesse d’augmenter.. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

James Hull from Hullx and co-host of China Tech Investor podcast joined us in a discussion on whether we should replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT China. Starting with the question, James dived deep into the business structures of Baidu and Bytedance and examined whether Baidu has lost their edge as one of the three tech giants of China. In the same conversation, James offered his perspectives on how Bytedance will replace Baidu in the future. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion (with time-stamps included): James Hull (@jameshullx, LinkedIn), Co-host of China Tech Investor podcast and Founder of Hullx [0:21] Since you have last appeared on the podcast, what have you been up to? [0:50] Should we replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT? [0:56] BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) & TMD (Toutiao, Meituan-dianping, Didi)  Let’s start with Baidu. How has Baidu performed as a public company for the past decade? [2:08] What are the key businesses of Baidu? (iQiyi is spun off as a separate company)? [3:27] Baidu's advances in AI [4:56] and in the intelligent audio input interface and speaker sector. [5:42] Is Baidu dependent on the advertising business similar to Google in the US? [6:51] Comparison between Baidu and Bytedance in terms of user information feeds [9:30] Bytedance's advantage with user feeds and recommendations through Douyin and Toutiao [11:51] Bytedance has been growing exponentially with a 75B valuation from their recent round with SoftBank, now the most valuable startup in the world followed by Didi. How are they performing as a business? [15:09] What are the key revenue drivers for Bytedance? How are they compared to Alibaba and Tencent? [18:08] What are Baidu’s competitive advantages that you think may allow them to stay competitive within the BAT? [24:30] How Baidu's search engine competes against Google and the rest of Chinese search engines. [28:24] Should we just replace Baidu with Bytedance in the BAT? [31:09] Interesting Chinese answer on the question for this podcast (in Chinese) in Zhihu (similar to Reddit and Quora in the US) which Carol has referenced and mentioned in the discussion.  Closing [37:24] Recommendation for a book, movie, podcast, or any consumable content?[37:24] James' recommendation: "I love capitalism" by Ken Langone , "The Great Rebalancing" by Michael Pettis Carol's recommendation: Louis Cha's or Jin Yong's martial arts novels How does our audience find you?

TechBuzz China is going to China! As part of our inaugural invite-only TechBuzz China Investor Trip for public market investors taking place right after Golden Week, we will be hosting live meetups.

If you are in either of those cities, do come out and have a beer on us! Check our Twitter (@techbuzzchina) for updates on the exact locations and times.Episode 52 of TechBuzz China is on a topic from back in August, when Kuaishou, Baidu, Tencent, and Capital Today invested a collective $434 million into the Q&A site Zhihu 知乎. The site, which literally means “Do you know?” in Chinese, is comparable to Quora in its core services. Its 220 million monthly active users (MAU) is also comparable with Quora's 300 million MAU. In typical TechBuzz fashion, our co-hosts, Rui Ma and Ying-Ying Lu, dive into Zhihu's founding story, the company's business strategy over time, and further comparisons with global sites such as Quora and Reddit. They conclude by explaining why the recent partnership between Kuaishou and Zhihu makes sense.Listen to find out: What does Chinese media believe is significant about the hometown province of Zhihu CEO Zhou Yuan 周源? Over the course of several years, how did Zhihu beat out competitors that included other startups as well as products created by the likes of Baidu? In fact, how might these past stories help to explain Baidu's participation in Zhihu's latest round? What is Fenda 分答, how does it relate to Zhihu's trajectory, and what might explain why it was one of the first instances in which a Silicon Valley entrepreneur openly admitted that he found inspiration in the innovative design of a Chinese company? In what ways is Zhihu's latest financing so notable, and what does it tell us about the current state of the internet landscape in China? How does Bytedance fit into this fray, and what has been the extent of its investment in the space? Finally, what do our co-hosts think about the future of the user-generated text and voice content space in China? You can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

Chenyu Zheng, former product marketing manager from Uber and now author, joined us in a two part conversation to discuss the unique digital experience in China and the Uber China mafia & their impact to the entrepreneurial ecosystem in China after merger with Didi. In the first part, she discussed her major observations on the web and mobile apps in China and why they have evolved in a different way from their US counterparts. Last but not least, she also shared what she has learned from Allen Zhang, the founder of Wechat in product management.

In this episode, we chat with Elliott Zaagman, a Corporate trainer who specializes in helping Chinese enterprises grow into global organizations. Elliott also writes for several leading online publications which is how I first came across him. Earlier this year he wrote a piece for Technode about Zhihu, China’s popular knowledge sharing platform which started off as a Q& A platform but has evolved into a hybrid of Quora, Patreon, Coursera, Twitter and Linkedin. His article shared how many people, especially professionals and academics, are leveraging their knowledge to grow a following on the platform, and now thanks to new features, they are able to monetize their popularity through paid courses and live streams. I think Zhihu is extremely underrated, especially in Western media, so I had to have Elliott on so he could share more about it. Besides talking about Zhihu, we also discuss what it is like being the only foreigner writing for the popular Chinese business news site Huxiu and how it has helped position him as a thought leader and attract business leads.  This episode is a little bit different than previous ones but still very much related to Chinese influencers and growing influence in china, so I know you guys are going to like it.     Guest: Elliott Zaagman LinkedIn WeChat: ezaagman Zhihu: @ELL小查   Host: Lauren Hallanan Website: laurenhallanan.com LinkedIn Instagram: @laurenleren   Mentioned in the Episode: Article: From “knowledge hub” to “opportunity facilitator”: The development of Zhihu Huxiu Technode supchina China Tech Talk 31: China tech trends in 2017, part 1   Thanks to our sponsor PARKLU: www.parklu.com   For additional information and show notes head over to www.chinainfluencermarketing.com   If you like this podcast and know someone who might find it interesting, please share!
