绰号为“情色教主”的台湾网红表示，去年10月入境我国时被关进移民与关卡局的“小黑屋”。执法人员在她的手机里发现了全裸写真和性感照片，因此拒绝她入境，并将她遣返回台。

根据《镜周刊》报道，真名为方祺媛的网红“雪碧”表示，去年10月初她受邀到本地观看世界一级方程式（F1）新加坡夜间大奖赛赛事，不料在樟宜机场被执法人员点名带走，直接送进了俗称“小黑屋”的询问室。

她形容当时屋内聚集了来自台湾、中国大陆和印度的旅客，几乎看不到欧美面孔，让她当场愣住。

入境理由可疑将她遣返

“雪碧”说，移民局人员对她的手机进行了彻底检查，发现了里面存着成人平台OnlyFans的全裸写真及性感照片。

即使她多次抗议并表示这是私人收藏，移民局人员仍坚持搜查，并最终以“入境动机可疑”为由，将她遣返回台湾。

她说这件事情对她造成严重身心打击。返回台湾后，她声称长期受恶梦困扰，并出现自律神经失调、手抖和严重失眠等症状。

The Taiwanese influencer nicknamed the "Queen of Erotica" revealed that she was detained in a "small black room" (interrogation room) by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) when attempting to enter Singapore last October. Law enforcement discovered nude photobooks and provocative images on her phone, leading to a denial of entry and her subsequent deportation back to Taiwan.
According to a report by Mirror Media, the influencer "Sprite" (real name Fang Qi-yuan) stated that she was invited to attend the Formula 1 (F1) Singapore Night Grand Prix in early October last year. However, upon arrival at Changi Airport, she was singled out by officers and taken directly to the interrogation room, commonly referred to as the "small black room."
She described the room as being crowded with travelers from Taiwan, Mainland China, and India, with almost no Western faces in sight—a scene that left her stunned.
Deported on Suspicion of "Questionable Motives"
"Sprite" claimed that immigration officers conducted a rigorous search of her mobile phone, uncovering nude photos and sexy images intended for the adult platform OnlyFans.
Despite her repeated protests that these were part of her private collection, the officers persisted with the search. They ultimately deported her back to Taiwan on the grounds of "suspicious motives for entry."
She stated that the incident dealt a severe blow to her physical and mental well-being. Since her return to Taiwan, she claims to have suffered from persistent nightmares and has developed symptoms including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, hand tremors, and chronic insomnia.

no more early adoptor bonus for social media, e-commerce, and ride hailing

whereas 2010s, FB was still pure, Whatsapp was relatively new, less cyber-scam, more genuine social media settings, back then FB feeds were still timeline based, hence the name "timeline" before Fuckerberg renamed it to feeds, you see more of your friends affairs rather than useless DAP PN PAS faces and scammy ads today

dating apps were at its infancy, most people in it was genuine, less worry of losing kidney after drinking doped drinks, less worry of getting scammed by CCP Cambodia scam

jobs were relatively easy then, things were cheap, no need to aim high also can get you decent house and cars, no need to worry of sudden lay off

A man, 32, a programmer in China, was working at home on Nov. 29 when he suddenly felt unwell and subsequently fainted.

His family rushed him to the hospital, but despite their best efforts, Gao Guanghui (transliteration) passed away.

Media reports suggested that he died after a cardiac arrest.

According to Chinese media, Gao had been promoted to department manager and had been working long hours leading up to his death.

A screenshot from his wife showed her urging him to come home.

Screenshot from HK01
She would later lament on Weibo that she would never get to hear him again saying he is back from work.

She ended her Weibo post with a question: "Where are you? Could you come back to visit us? Do you know we are still waiting for you to come home?"

Added to work group chat
Even as he was fighting for his life, Gao was added to a new work group chat asking him to handle work issues.

Eight hours after he passed, a colleague apparently messaged him to tell him that the work was urgent and needed to be completed.

According to HK01, the family believes his death stemmed from his overworking and has applied for compensation.

The wife also shared details about how the company had apparently treated her husband's belongings after he passed.

She said she was sent a box of his personal belongings, which were not even properly packed.

She also claimed that some items had been disposed of, and when she went to the company to demand an explanation, she was allegedly told these items were already gone, and her concerns were dismissed.

Investigations are ongoing into the situation and the overwork claims.

CCP using fishermen as human shield

dattebayo — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:40:22 +0800

QUOTE

China quietly mobilized thousands of fishing boats twice in recent weeks to form massive floating barriers of at least 200 miles long, showing a new level of coordination that could give Beijing more ways to impose control in contested seas.

The two recent operations unfolded largely unnoticed. An analysis of ship-tracking data by The New York Times reveals the scale and complexity of the maneuvers for the first time.

Last week, about 1,400 Chinese vessels abruptly dropped their usual fishing activities or sailed out of their home ports and congregated in the East China Sea. By Jan. 11, they had assembled into a rectangle stretching more than 200 miles. The formation was so dense that some approaching cargo ships appeared to skirt around them or had to zigzag through, ship-tracking data showed.

Maritime and military experts said the maneuvers suggested that China was strengthening its maritime militia, which is made up of civilian fishing boats trained to join in military operations. They said the maneuvers show that Beijing can rapidly muster large numbers of the boats in disputed seas.

The Jan. 11 maneuver followed a similar operation last month, when about 2,000 Chinese fishing boats assembled in two long, parallel formations on Christmas Day in the East China Sea. Each stretched 290 miles long, about the distance from New York City to Buffalo, forming a reverse L shape, ship-position data indicates. The two gatherings, weeks apart in the same waters, suggested a coordinated effort, analysts said.

The unusual formations were spotted by Jason Wang, the chief operating officer of ingeniSPACE, a company that analyzes data, and were independently confirmed by The Times using ship-location data provided by Starboard Maritime Intelligence.

“I was thinking to myself, ‘This is not right’,” he said, describing his response when he spotted the fishing boats on Christmas Day. “I mean I’ve seen like a couple hundred — let’s say high hundreds,” he said, referring to Chinese boats he has previously tracked, “but nothing of this scale or of this distinctive formation.”

In a conflict or crisis, for instance over Taiwan, China could mobilize tens of thousands of civilian ships, including fishing boats, to clog sea lanes and complicate military and supply operations of its opponents.

Chinese fishing boats would be too small to effectively enforce a blockade. But they could possibly obstruct movement by American warships, said Lonnie Henley, a former U.S. intelligence officer who has studied China’s maritime militia.

The masses of the smaller boats could also act “as missile and torpedo decoys, overwhelming radars or drone sensors with too many targets,” said Thomas Shugart, a former U.S. naval officer now at the Center for a New American Security.

Satellite imagery from Jan. 10, the day before the formation, shows fishing vessels sailing toward the area.

The operations appeared to mark a bold step in China’s efforts to train fishing boats to gather en masse, in order to impede or monitor other countries’ ships, or to help Beijing assert its territorial claims by establishing a perimeter, said Mr. Wang of ingeniSPACE.

“They’re scaling up, and that scaling indicates their ability to do better command and control of civilian ships,” he said.

The Chinese government has not said anything publicly about the fishing boats’ activities. The ship-signals data appeared to be reliable and not “spoofed” — that is, manipulated to create false impressions of the boats’ locations — Mr. Wang and Mr. Douglas both said.

Researchers at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, when approached by The Times with these findings, confirmed that they had observed the same packs of boats with their own ship-location analysis.

“They are almost certainly not fishing, and I can’t think of any explanation that isn’t state-directed,” Gregory Poling, the director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at C.S.I.S., wrote in emailed comments.

The fishing boats assembled in the East China Sea, near major shipping lanes that branch out from Shanghai, among the world’s busiest ports. Cargo ships crisscross the sea daily, including ones carrying Chinese exports to the United States.

These are maritime arteries that China would seek to control in a clash with the United States or its Asian allies, including in a possible crisis over Taiwan, the island-democracy that Beijing claims as its territory.

“My best guess is this was an exercise to see how the civilians would do if told to muster at scale in a future contingency, perhaps in support of quarantine, blockade, or other pressure tactics against Taiwan,” Mr. Poling wrote. A “quarantine” means a sea operation to seal off an area that is meant to fall short of an act of war.

The boat maneuvers in January took place shortly after Beijing held two days of military exercises around Taiwan, including practicing naval maneuvers to blockade the island. Beijing is also in a bitter dispute with Japan over its support for Taiwan.

The fishing boat operations could have been held to signal “opposition to Japan” or practice for possible confrontations with Japan or Taiwan, said Andrew S. Erickson, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College who studies China’s maritime activities. He noted that he spoke for himself, not for his college or the navy.

Japan’s Ministry of Defense and coast guard both declined to comment on the Chinese fishing boats, citing the need to protect their information-gathering capabilities.

Some of the fishing boats had taken part in previous maritime militia activities or belonged to fishing fleets known to be involved in militia activities, based on a scan of Chinese state media reports. China does not publish the names of most vessels in its maritime militia, making it difficult to identify the status of the boats involved.

But the tight coordination of the boats showed it was probably “an at-sea mobilization and exercise of maritime militia forces,” Professor Erickson said.

QUOTE

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 — Lawyer Latheefa Koya, who is also a former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief, today questioned why the authorities were going after her client Albert Tei when he is just a “small fish” providing information on alleged corruption.

Latheefa asked why her client Tei was not given whistleblower protection, unlike other alleged bribe-givers who had been given protection in order to testify as witnesses in court against corruption cases.

Latheefa said it was “shocking” that Tei had been charged with corruption earlier today, when he has been exposing alleged corruption among high-ranking officials in Sabah.

“What I don’t understand is in which situation would you be able to go for corruption, if you go and charge the whistleblower or the so-called giver,” she told the media at the Kuala Lumpur court complex here, describing Tei as a “small fish” when compared against those he had allegedly been exposing.

“He’s a small fish. Go after the big fish,” she said, arguing that going after the “small fish” is not how the anti-corruption fight should be done.

Latheefa cited Lim Guan Eng’s and Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s corruption cases, where the alleged givers of bribes were not charged to enable them to testify as prosecution witnesses in those cases.

“But why in this case which involves Albert Tei, there’s no such consideration?” she asked.

“We are supposed to protect the whistleblower, we are supposed to protect the informant,” she said.

5 chinese killed in targeted assault

dattebayo — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:00:51 +0800

QUOTE

ALMATY, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Five Chinese nationals have been killed and five more injured in Tajikistan in attacks launched from neighbouring Afghanistan over the past week, Tajik authorities and China's embassy in the Central Asian country said on Monday.
China's embassy in Dushanbe, the capital, advised Chinese companies and personnel to urgently evacuate the border area.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
It said that Chinese citizens had been targeted in an armed attack close to the Afghan border on Sunday. On Friday it said that another border attack - which Tajik authorities said had involved drones dropping grenades - had killed three Chinese citizens.

Tajikistan, a mountainous former Soviet republic of around 11 million people with a secular government, has tense relations with the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan. It has previously warned of drug smugglers and illicit gold miners working along the remote frontier.
China, which also has a remote, mountainous border with Tajikistan, is a major investor in the country.
There was no immediate response on Monday from the authorities in Afghanistan to the Tajik statement.
But Afghanistan's foreign ministry last week blamed an unnamed group which it said was out to create instability and said it would cooperate with Tajik authorities.

Tajik President Emomali Rahmon's press service said on Monday that Rahmon had met with the heads of his security agencies to discuss how to strengthen border security.
It said that Rahmon: "strongly condemned the illegal and provocative actions of Afghan citizens and ordered that effective measures be taken to resolve the problem and prevent a recurrence of such incidents."
Tajikistan endured a brutal civil war in the 1990s after independence from Moscow, during which Rahmon initially rose to power. The country is closely aligned with Russia, which maintains a military base there.
Millions of Tajiks, a Persian-speaking nation, live across the border in Afghanistan, with Tajikistan historically having backed Afghan Tajiks opposed to the Taliban.

BMX "lu sial eh" to Sabahan cino

dattebayo — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 13:49:02 +0800

QUOTE

KOTA KINABALU, Nov 27 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today issued a sharp, colloquial warning to Sabah political leaders, saying that confrontational politics will not bring results from Putrajaya.

In a final push for Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidates ahead of Saturday’s polling, Anwar made it clear that federal support for Sabah hinges on a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation.

“You cannot scold me, say ‘lu siau eh’ (Hokkien for ‘are you crazy?’), and then come asking for more. That’s not how it works,” he said during a dinner hosted by the Federation of Chinese Associations of Sabah.

Anwar held up his government’s relationship with caretaker chief minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor as a model of effective federal-state partnership, explaining that he had approved significant allocations for Sabah because the requests were made “properly” and “respectfully.”

“Good federal-state relations are not about kneeling or begging, they are about cooperation,” he insisted.

Anwar also made a direct appeal to the state’s Chinese community, acknowledging their crucial role in the economy and arguing that their support was essential for the political stability needed to drive development.

“You want development, you want better infrastructure, you want investment — all this needs political stability and a strong partnership between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu,” he said.

“Give us the mandate, give our candidates your support, and we will deliver.”

Without naming any rivals, Anwar also urged voters to reject “toxic narratives” that seek to pit Sabah against the federal administration for political gain.

“Do not be influenced by those who yell the loudest,” he warned. “What matters is who actually delivers.”

Anwar has been on a whirlwind tour of Sabah to rally support for his party and political allies in an election that could have far-reaching implications for his coalition government in Putrajaya.

Ayumi Hamasaki concert in Shanghai

QUOTE

Japanese pop singer Hamasaki Ayumi's scheduled concert in Shanghai has been canceled amid growing reaction from China against a remark by Japan's prime minister.

Takaichi Sanae made the remark at a Diet session this month concerning a possible Taiwan emergency.

On Friday afternoon, the concert organizer announced the cancelation of the event that was slated for Saturday, citing force majeure as the reason.

Hamasaki said in a social media post that she was suddenly asked to cancel the event on Friday morning. She said that she still cannot believe it and does not know the words to express how she feels. She asked for understanding for only being able to say this much at the moment.

Concerts and entertainment events by Japanese artists and performers have been canceled or postponed in China since Takaichi's remark drew reaction from Beijing.

Hamasaki's Asia tour started this year in Hong Kong.

Following the massive blaze at a high-rise residential complex there, she said in a social media post, "Our prayers go to Hong Kong."

Bharat seafood to the rescue!

dattebayo — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 19:12:22 +0800

QUOTE

China’s sudden ban on Japanese seafood has opened an unexpected window for Indian exporters, giving the sector a boost at a time when steep U.S. tariffs have squeezed margins and dented shipments to its largest market. Beijing’s move, imposed amid an escalating diplomatic standoff with Japan over Taiwan, sent Indian seafood stocks surging on Wednesday, with several exporters posting their sharpest gains in months.

Shares of Telangana-based Avanti Feeds closed nearly 10% higher, marking its strongest daily jump in over two months. Coastal Corporation, which had already announced plans to deepen its presence in China to offset U.S. trade barriers, rose 5%. The immediate surge followed China’s announcement of a complete suspension of Japanese seafood imports after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi linked the Taiwan conflict to Japan’s security.

China’s ban hits Japan, opens a gap

The latest ban is a major setback for Japan’s seafood industry, which had only recently resumed exports to China after a two-year halt over the Fukushima treated-water release. Despite seafood forming just 1% of Japan’s overall exports, China has historically taken 20–25% of its seafood shipments, making it Tokyo’s most critical market in this segment. A renewed blanket ban is expected to push Japanese exporters into deeper losses.

A lifeline for Indian exporters under tariff pressure

For India, however, the shift in China’s buying patterns offers timely relief. The US, India’s biggest seafood market with buyers such as Walmart and Kroger, has imposed duties of up to 50% in recent months as a penalty for New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil. The tariffs have made Indian shrimp and fish less competitive, triggering a 9% year-on-year drop in exports to the U.S. in October.

Reports indicate that shipments to China, Vietnam, and Thailand have risen significantly, signalling a pivot toward Asian markets as exporters look to diversify away from tariff-heavy destinations.

India exported around $7.4 billion worth of seafood last fiscal year, with frozen shrimp and frozen fish making up over 40% of the value. Government data shows volumes hit an all-time high in 2023–24, with 17.81 lakh MT shipped to top importers including the U.S., EU, UK and China.

Government support amid global headwinds

To cushion the impact of global trade turbulence, the Centre last week approved a ₹4.5 lakh crore support package for labour-intensive export sectors, including textiles, jewellery and seafood, with shrimp receiving special focus.

For Indian exporters navigating U.S. tariffs and volatile global demand, China’s latest ban on Japan could be the unexpected demand bump they need.

Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has voiced hope that China and Japan can de-escalate tensions, following a row sparked by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s comments on the Taiwan Strait.
At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Wednesday, Wong said Singapore and fellow Southeast Asian states supported Tokyo stepping into a bigger role in the region, including on the security front, for greater stability.

Takaichi earlier this month said Japan could deploy its military in the event of a contingency in Taiwan, enraging Beijing officials, who claimed her remarks damaged bilateral ties and challenged the post-war international order.

Wong on Wednesday noted that while both nations were major trading partners, their ties were “complex” due to territorial disputes, historical wars and Japan’s alliance with the United States.

“We hope the two countries will find ways to resolve these very complex issues and move forward,” Wong said. “Southeast Asia has done that with Japan … We’ve put history aside and we’re moving forward.”

He declined to comment on Takaichi’s initial remarks, and noted that Japan seemed to be inclined to stabilise its relationship with China and not escalate matters.

“I hope China will feel the same way, and while there may be differences, the two countries can still get along and work together,” Wong said.

China has urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan, with airlines offering full refunds to those who have bought tickets.

Beijing on Sunday announced the deployment of a coastguard formation to patrol the waters near the disputed Diaoyu Islands, which Tokyo refers to as the Senkaku Islands.

But Wong said a war over Taiwan remained unlikely, given the US commitment to the one-China policy.

“We don’t see [a war] happening unless something happens that really crosses China’s red lines, for example, a unilateral move by Taiwan to declare independence,” he said.

Beijing sees Taiwan as part of China to be reunited by force if necessary. Most countries, including the US and Japan, do not recognise Taiwan as an independent state, but Washington is opposed to any attempt to take the self-governed island by force and is committed to supplying it with weapons.

Title: Chinese tourists don’t go to Japan and reroute to Seoul — Korean netizens shocked

Date & source: November 18, 2025 (Tue) 23:16 — Yahoo Taiwan News

Article:

According to a report by the Chosun Ilbo, many travel agencies in China have recently cancelled package tours to Japan en masse. A staffer at a Shanghai travel agency said: “The cancellation rate for group tours to Japan has exceeded 60%, many flight tickets are being cancelled as well.” Meanwhile a Beijing-based travel agency noted: “Up to the weekend the cancellations weren’t too many, but now they’ve suddenly surged.”

Since the 14th, the Chinese government has advised its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan, effectively issuing a “ban on Japan travel”. As a result travel agencies in China have told their customers that if they cancel Japanese itinerary trips they will offer full refunds.

With demand for Japanese tourism dropping sharply, South Korea has become the substitute destination. According to Chinese travel-platform “Qunar”, from November 15 to 16 this month, South Korea overtook Japan as China’s most popular overseas tourist destination. The most purchased international flight tickets were to South Korea, and the most searched city was Seoul. Other popular destinations followed: Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia.

However, the shift of Chinese tourists to Korea did not bring joy to many Koreans. Numerous netizens commented under the Chosun Ilbo article:
• “Don’t come! Please just don’t come.”
• “You are not welcome in our country — stay away.”
• “Don’t come. We don’t like you — you who lack any sense of public etiquette, what’s the difference between you and animals?”
• “We could talk about their intervention in Taiwan and they’d go somewhere else…”
Another netizen added: “So jealous of Japan — they won’t see (such) tourists for years.”

This mass cancellation between China and Japan stems from remarks by Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the 7th in the House of Representatives Budget Committee. She stated that a “Taiwan contingency” could constitute a “situation of existence and extinction” for Japan’s self-defence policy. China responded strongly, calling on Japan to withdraw the remarks, but Japan took no action — ultimately leading China to advise its nationals to defer travel to Japan.

China is Japan’s largest source of overseas tourists. According to Japanese private research institution Nomura Research Institute senior analyst Nobuhiro Kiuchi, if Chinese tourists reduce significantly the number of visits to Japan, Japan’s GDP could drop by 1.794 trillion yen (around TWD 360 billion), equivalent to a 0.29% GDP decline.
