[ BAR ]: para un starter donde nuestros personajes se encuentren en la barra / @zxiyuu

La barra estaba abarrotada, pero Damien se movió entre la multitud con la misma calma de siempre, sin prisa. Apoyó un codo en la superficie pulida mientras esperaba su turno, observando de reojo cómo la gente se reía, chocaba copas y se perdía en la música. A su lado, alguien más esperaba su bebida, tamborileando los dedos contra la barra con una paciencia que parecía escasa. Damien echó un vistazo y, con su tono relajado, comentó: "Vaya, parece que hasta en el amor hay fila de espera."

[hedda-o]

apenas alzó una ceja al escuchar la admisión de fastidio en la voz de su acompañante. “me han dicho cosas peores,” replicó con una sonrisa que parecía danzar en el umbral entre la burla y la diversión genuina. Pero su expresión se suavizó un instante después, al notar cómo la tormenta se apoderaba del mundo exterior con una furia creciente, devorando las luces de la ciudad con su manto blanco.El interior del club parecía un refugio dorado, una burbuja de opulencia resguardada del caos de la naturaleza. Al menos por ahora. Cerró la puerta tras él con un gesto ligero, apenas el eco de un golpe amortiguado por las alfombras gruesas. “encerrada…” repitió, saboreando la palabra como si evaluara su peso real. Su mirada azul recorrió el salón, donde los invitados, envueltos en sedas y terciopelos, continuaban con su noche como si la tormenta fuera apenas un espectáculo distante. “no es la primera vez, ¿sabes? A veces los lugares más lujosos también son jaulas.” pero antes de que pudiera desarrollar el pensamiento, un crujido sordo vibró en el aire. Luego, un parpadeo de las luces. Un instante de vacilación. Y finalmente, la oscuridad. El murmullo de la gala se transformó en una ola de sorpresa contenida. Hubo un par de exclamaciones, el sonido de copas chocando torpemente, algún tacón tropezando con la prisa. Luego, un silencio expectante. Como si todos contuvieran el aliento al mismo tiempo. El destello frío de una pantalla iluminó el rostro de su acompañante, lanzando sombras caprichosas en sus facciones. Avanzó un par de pasos, su vestido rozando el suelo con un murmullo sedoso. No parecía inquieta, más bien intrigada. “veamos cómo lidiamos con esto, entonces,” susurró, un destello de desafío en su voz. “siempre es interesante ver qué tan rápido se desmorona la compostura de la gente cuando se apagan las luces.”

Aparta mirada de la rubia, escondiendo su rostro entre oscuros cabellos en un intento de ocultar su decepción. El secretismo resulta interesante si es ella quien guarda la información; por lo que verse privada de participar en conversación en total libertad, le es dificultoso disimular el fastidio. "Tu forma de hablar me irrita." Decide admitir, alzando la cabeza con resignación y procede a mirarle de reojo, analizando cada movimiento generado por la noruega. "Pero me molesta más la idea que sabes algo más que yo, aún si ese no es el caso." El viento golpeó sin aviso, prolijidad de apariencia es perturbada con una simpleza digna de la naturaleza. Aún con los guantes que cubren la mayor parte de sus brazos puede sentir la mordacidad del invierno. Lejos de molestarse por el anuncio de la tormenta dejando estragos en su cabello, antes nidio, encontró divertida la situación. "Tus palabras han cobrado vida." Corrige, percibiendo la ironía de la situación con descarada obviedad. Su vista se dirigió más allá de la terraza, un par de personas corrían al refugio del club, la nieve cayendo con más insistencia, apenas notando que sus vestimentas comenzaban a humedecerse. "El enfermarse será el menor de nuestros problemas." Procede a seguir con paso apresurado a la más joven. Predicamento se afirma en cuanto la oscuridad se hace a su alrededor, dejando únicamente su sentido del oído en alerta por el siguiente movimiento. "¿Esperabas quedar encerrada en este lugar?" Con movimientos apresurados, busca fuente de iluminación en su celular, sombras lúgubres dibujándose en las paredes del recinto, oscureciendo más el ambiente. Un suspiro cansino abandona labios. La música ha dejado de sonar junto a las risas, el mal augurio de una noche sin luna se hace presente finalmente. "Me pregunto cómo abordarán esta situación. Pueden luchar contra la resistencia humana, pero nadie puede ir en contra de la naturaleza."

Chinastuck: the beta kids

tl;dr for the uninitiated: what if all homestuck characters were chinese people

John Egbert: 光勇 (Guang Yong). Lives in Beijing (im sorry /j). Han, Mongolian, and some Korean ancestry.

egbert means "bright edge" and guang means "bright" and also sounds a little like john even if its the surname. john means god is gracious, which is not really a type of name chinese people give their kids so i just went with a common masculine name that sounds good with guang: yong, which means "brave" which i thought was fitting. i think dad egbert definitely calls them by the diminutive yongyong.

June Egbert might choose the name 小玉 (Xiaoyu), meaning "little jade", in reference to her sister.

Rose Lalonde: 刘秀兰 (Liu Xiulan). Lives somewhere in Jiangsu, probably Shanghai. Hmong, Jewish Han, and Kazakh ancestry.

i literally just went with a random common surname that vaguely sounded like lalonde here. xiulan means elegant orchid, so it's a flower name like rose and i think it fits her vibes. she shares the character xiu with roxy's name, tianxiu.

transmasc rose probably steals his name from a book character.

rose is very similar to canon i think, except she lives in a penthouse in central shanghai. i want to say initially she feels her heritage doesn't matter to her but later in life she tries to reconnect with not being "100% han".

Dave Strider: 赵大伟 (Zhao Dawei). Lives in Chongqing. Hmong, Jewish Han, and Kazakh ancestry (same as Rose).

zhao has a similar meaning to strider and was also a surname of the emperors so it has a connection to royalty. this works for both the lotr reference and king david. dawei is... a generic chinese boys name thats the name you give your kid if you want their english name to be david. it means "extraordinary".

david means "beloved" and every single chinese name like that is feminine. Dove Strider takes this as inspiration for the name Xinyan, spelled either 心燕 meaning "beloved swallow" or 心焱 meaning "beloved flame" instead of the more conventional 心妍 meaning "beloved beauty".

dave struggles with their cultural heritage more actively than rose does, and thus leans hard into their sichuanese identity. i headcanon them as making fun of chengdu (chongqing's rival in representing the cultural center of sichuan) in addition to making fun of northern chinese culture. SICHUAN RAHH

Jade Harley: 林玉平 (Lin Yuping). Lives in rural Shaanxi. Han, Mongolian, and some Korean ancestry (same as John).

lin has similar meaning to both harley and halley, meaning grove/forest. yuping means "peaceful jade".

Jude Harley might choose the name 洋 (Yang), meaning "ocean" in the sense of expansive, or he might not feel a need to change his name. swapping names with his sibling is also a possibility.

i think her upbringing just translates to the rural northwest well? also i think its kinda cool she'd grow up near a section of the great wall of china. i could see her engaging in cultural traditions like papercutting and folk singing :> also buddhist jade real and true im not projecting trust

thanks for coming to my ted talk be on the lookout for more posts like this ft me struggling with traditional characters and cantonese pronunciations

EDIT: @ask-chinastuck exists :)

[damien-cox]

Apoyó el hombro contra la columna más cercana, con una expresión que oscilaba entre la apatía elegante y el hastío refinado que tanto se esperaba de alguien con su apellido. Observó de reojo a la joven que hablaba, y por un instante, algo parecido a una chispa —mezcla de complicidad y resignación— cruzó por sus ojos claros. "la verdad siempre ha sido un lujo que pocos pueden darse aquí, no porque no la soporten… sino porque les arruina la narrativa" dijo con voz baja, firme, pero sin rastro de enojo "hay demasiados hilos sosteniendo esta obra, y si uno se rompe, todo el teatro se viene abajo así que mejor culpan al que no aplaude." le dio un sorbo lento al whiskey, casi meditativo, antes de continuar con una sonrisa que no alcanzó a tocarle los ojos. "y sí, es irónico. Aquí estamos, intentando que no nos importe, mientras le damos vueltas a lo que los demás ven, piensan, o cuchichean pero es que el problema no es lo que dicen, ¿no? Es lo que pueden hacer con eso. Una mirada malinterpretada, un comentario fuera de lugar... y al día siguiente estás en la portada de un periódico con un titular que ni tú entiendes." se pasó la mano por el cuello del blazer, como si de pronto le apretara. "si desaparezco, dicen que huyo. Si vengo, es porque quiero fingir inocencia. Si hablo, miento. Si callo, escondo algo. No hay forma de ganar cuando el juicio ya fue hecho y sólo están esperando que te delates." el ambiente a su alrededor seguía igual de pulido, igual de frío. Las copas tintineaban con un ritmo coreografiado, los camareros se deslizaban con precisión quirúrgica, y cada palabra dicha parecía ensayada de antemano. Damien suspiró apenas, apoyando la copa contra su labio inferior antes de añadir: "pero si alguien me preguntara… si creo que es malo que piensen que mi hermana tenga algo que ver con la muerte de Astor… supongo que no, no porque sea cierto, sino porque al menos por un momento, dejaron de vernos como un adorno más de esta dinastía." alzó la copa hacia ella, apenas un gesto, como si brindara por la ironía misma. "y tú… ¿qué harías si no tuvieras que medir cada palabra que sale de tu boca? Si no tuvieras que pensar si estos días vas a salir en las fotos de algún tabloide por mirar a alguien dos segundos de más, ¿hablarías más? ¿o guardarías aún más silencio?"

"He descubierto que son pocas las personas quienes aceptan escuchar la verdad, efectivamente." Aquello le recuerda las incontables discusiones con personas que no vale la pena mencionar. Sobre la sinceridad y sus repercusiones con las demás personas; el eterno conflicto entre la franqueza y la empatía a la hora de revelar una dura realidad. Está de sobra decir, que nunca logró conciliar una solución favorable. "Son personas ancianas y hambrientas de poder, ¿qué se puede esperar?" Es la única conclusión lógica a la que puede llegar después de haber recibido el reclamo por parte de su padre. Está mal mentir, e irónicamente, también está mal ser excesivamente honesta, y si a esa ecuación se le agrega un complejo de superioridad enfermizo. Las consecuencias pueden ser desastrosas. "Gracias por los ánimos, aunque irme a una cabaña en medio del bosque no suena nada mal." No sabría decir con certeza si la palabra culpa es la indicada para describir cómo se siente tras el nimio incidente. Es más como... un conflicto interno al que no puede dejar de darle vueltas, una especie de acertijo del cual no logra obtener claridad aun cuando la respuesta es más simple de lo que quisiera admitir. "¿Y es algo malo que crean eso?" Observa por unos segundos a su interlocutor. "Hablamos sobre cómo no debería importarnos lo que opine el resto, pero aquí estamos, quejándonos sobre lo mismo." Aunque no se puede comparar una mala expresión a una acusación de asesinato, otra ironía, porque si hubiera estado en su situación. Menor habría sido la perturbación.

Hello! Is the arranged marriage au a prompt-based thing? May i ask for some Meddling Juniors (ft XiaoYu)?

(note: this au is entirely prompt based, so please reblog so we can get more prompts!)

“This can’t go on!” Jingyi cries, bringing his fist down onto the table as Xiao-Yu puts his own sugar-covered hand into his mouth and sucks on it. “They’re in love with each other and they won’t do anything about it! Hanguang-jun just sleeps alone every night and yearns, and Wei-qianbei still feels like Hanguang-jun doesn’t want him! Sizhui, help!”

“There’s nothing we can do!” A-Qing shouts back, before Lan Sizhui can say anything. “What if Wei-qianbei gets scared? What if he runs away?”

The boys all blink at her, their eyes round with varying degrees of confusion, so she huffs and pulls out their meeting record before pointing to the third item on the list. “The third day of lianyue,” she reads aloud, “Hanguang-jun kissed Wei-qianbei for the first time. Only on the cheek. But it still frightened him so much that he went to stay with Nie-zongzhu for a week! He even took Xiao-Yu with him, Hanguang-jun was heartbroken!”

“Of course he shouldn’t have kissed my dajiu,” Jin Ling sniffs, stealing a handful of peanuts from Ouyang Zizhen’s plate and feeding them to Xiao-Yu. “Da-jiu’s got abandonment issues, he’s working through them. We should arrange a kidnapping instead, so Hanguang-jun can come dashing in and save Wei-dajiu like an immortal hero, and then he can take Wei-dajiu in his arms and kiss him with plum blossoms raining down all around them. It’s always like that in Zizhen’s romance novels.”

“Where are we going to get the plum blossoms?” Ouyang Zizhen muses. “I mean, it’s the wrong season.”

“We’ll get a shidao cultivator to grow us some,” Jin Ling decides. “Nie-zongzhu keeps a list for Qinghe, I’ll ask him.”

“Enough about the plum blossoms,” Lan Sizhui moans, wrapping his baby brother up in a blanket to stop his little hands from straying into the sugar bowl yet again. “And no kidnapping, either. I’m not going to put either of them through something like that.”

“Then what can we do?” Jingyi whines. “This is just painful to look at, A-Yuan.”

Sizhui taps his chin with the tip of his writing-brush.

“It all depends,” he says slowly, “on whether A-Die’s ready to hear that Fuqin is in love with him.”

The other four exchange puzzled glances over Sizhui’s head. As far as they’re concerned, Wei Wuxian ought to have fallen into Hanguang-jun’s arms out of pure yearning the moment they reunited on Dafan Mountain last year, but Wei Wuxian remains completely oblivious to Hanguang-jun’s love, and Hanguang jun just won’t say anything, so what does their opinion matter?

“I think he’s ready,” Ouyang Zizhen ventures. “I... I think he’s afraid that Hanguang-jun might not love him back, actually.”

“Good,” Sizhui announces. “Gather around, everyone. I have a plan.”

“But Sizhui, the plum blossoms--”

“There will be no kidnapping, Jin Rulan! Do you hear me? None!”

It took us 40 episodes, but we finally made a 2-hour-long episode. Sorry bout it! Today, we’re talking about chapters 35 and 36, parts 3 and 4 of the “Grasses” arc, and returning guest cultivator Val Flightcub comes along as we meet a living pair of Fucci slides, browse the Jiang Cheng Penney’s sword catalogue, and learn that the deader you are, the less alive you are. All this plus surprise guest appearances by Inuyasha’s son, Binuyasha, and Siri.

It was an emotional reunion for Qi Xiaoyu, who was bouncing in anticipation even before Mickey and Donald padded into view. The 27-year-old nurse visited Shanghai Disneyland over 200 times between its 2016 opening and its closing in January due to the coronavirus.

Qi says regular trips to the theme park boost her mental well-being, which has suffered over the 15 weeks she’s spent on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic. Her only respite has been dressing up at home in one of her 20-odd Dis-ney princess costumes, she says, to escape the real world of death in her hospital. “Disney is pure happiness and takes my mind off all the pressure I feel at work,” Qi says, grinning behind her face mask as she enters Shanghai’s iteration of the Magic Kingdom on May 11, the day it reopened. “Here, everything is wonderful.”

If ever the world needed a dose of magic, it’s now. But of the dozen theme parks that Disney runs across the globe, only the Chinese park is open today. The reopened facility may be operating at 30% capacity, under strict social-distancing regulations, but in the U.S., all Disney parks remain mothballed. The company has furloughed 100,000 workers, closed stores and theme parks, and put its star-studded box-office productions on ice. Its share price has tumbled by almost a third.

Watching families in Shanghai browse $14 Winnie the Pooh mugs while Americans remain in the grip of the coronavirus, it’s hard not to wonder whether the mixed fortunes of this most iconic of American institutions indicate a broader changing of the guard. The world’s two biggest economies were already locked in a trade war that could cost the global economy $470 billion. They also spar over intellectual-property theft, cyberespionage, the North Korean nuclear threat and the incarceration of more than 1 million ethnic Muslims in China’s Far West. Differences in how each has handled the pandemic may be not only the latest rupture, but the one that shapes the future.

When the coronavirus emerged in December, China acted quickly and forcefully to halt it in its tracks. It ordered a population equivalent to a fifth of humanity to barricade themselves at home, and hoisted up the drawbridge to visitors. Those draconian measures cost China an unprecedented 6.8% drop in GDP in the first quarter, but they worked–the country’s official (though disputed) infection count is now below 85,000, compared with 1.3 million in the U.S. In the virus epicenter of Wuhan, final-year students are scheduled to go back to class on May 20. Their parents, like adults across the country, are getting back to work.

In America, President Donald Trump has encouraged states to reopen as they see fit, but the U.S. so far has lagged in providing the tools needed to do that safely–tests to detect the disease and track outbreaks. Over the course of the pandemic, the U.S. has so far tested around 9 million people, less than 3% of its population. Meanwhile, to address a new outbreak in Wuhan, China announced plans to test all 11 million of the city’s residents over the space of 10 days.

The U.S. response to COVID-19 has been so muddled, it’s not yet possible to say how much of the sluggishness is due to unreadiness, how much to incompetence, and how much to the American system of governance, with its emphasis on individual freedoms over centralized authority. What does seem clear is that the performance of the Chinese system of broad state controls–over both citizens and the economy–offers Beijing a unique chance to steal a march on the future. During a recent tour of China’s northern province of Shaanxi, President Xi Jinping instructed cadres to “turn the crisis into an opportunity.” How well it succeeds in doing so could have ramifications for the entire world order.

XI already had grand plans. The President’s “China Dream” to take “center stage of the world” includes strategies like Made in China 2025 to upgrade to hightech manufacturing, and China Standards 2035 to become the dominant writer of rules that govern future technologies. Beijing’s new goal, analysts say, is to leverage the pandemic to catalyze 10 years of reform into just two. Speaking in Shaanxi in April, Xi stressed the need to “push forward with investment in 5G, the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, the industrial Internet and other new-type infrastructure.”

China already appears to be bouncing back. Its economy–built on a combination of manufacturing expertise, connectivity and first-class infrastructure, plus the world’s largest middle class of domestic consumers–was operating at 87% of typical output on May 12, according to the Trivium National Business Activity Index. In April, though imports were down 14.2%, China’s exports were up 3.5% year on year, surpassing predictions largely because of medical products sent overseas.

But the economy won’t be the same as before. Crises act like centrifugal forces–the sturdier and well-positioned institutions can survive, but weaker outliers are likely to be ripped to shreds. And while China has taken some measures to rescue companies–tax breaks and loan deferments for small and medium enterprises (SMEs)–no grand cash injection is expected like the $586 billion plowed into state projects following the 2008 financial crisis. “The support policies introduced earlier are adequate,” Premier Li Keqiang said May 6. The message appears to be that the true way out of the crisis is investing in innovation.

Some of China’s most successful companies are helping choose winners–and reinjecting liquidity into the market. MYbank, run by Jack Ma’s online shopping colossus Alibaba, is on track to issue a record $282 billion in new loans to SMEs this year, up nearly 18% from 2019. Delivery service Meituan has been working with state banks to distribute low-interest loans totaling $2.8 billion since early February to 20,000 restaurants and retailers on its platforms, repurposing sales data to quickly assess which clients require the most urgent help.

The pandemic is already providing a springboard for change. Shanghai has published plans to build 100 unmanned factories by 2025, guarding against future labor disruptions. Before the crisis, online health care service JD Health took 10,000 consultations per day. But as hospitals and clinics became swamped with coronavirus patients, that rocketed to 150,000, with the firm’s own pharmacy delivering prescription medicines directly to patients’ homes. Xin Lijun, CEO of the $7 billion–valued company, says the added convenience of online health care means that muscle memory will remain after the COVID-19 crisis abates, helping ease pressure on China’s overstretched, hospital-centric health care system. “People have developed the habit of getting diagnosis and treatment online,” Xin says. “This greatly reduces the pressure on traditional hospitals.”

For Kai-Fu Lee–a venture capitalist; former Google, Microsoft and Apple executive; and author of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order–China’s tech firms are better positioned to aid recovery as they bridge the gap between the online and physical world. “So that means the Alibaba, JD or the Meituan networks are more structurally advantaged to contribute to the economy because they have their tentacles in the offline part as well.”

China is also capitalizing on its leadership in green technology. Its apex Politburo Standing Committee has backed $1.4 trillion spending on so-called new infrastructure, including a wide range of low-carbon technologies, transitioning away from fossil fuels and expanding its economic influence. That funding includes support for technologies specifically aimed at reducing emissions, like electric-vehicle charging, high-speed rail and long-distance power transmission that brings renewable power to cities. “Undoubtedly, China has taken the lead,” former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry tells TIME of China’s pre-pandemic position in the low-carbon economy.

There are also signs China is using the economic chaos of the pandemic to go on a global shopping spree for new businesses and investments. According to the GlobalData analytics firm, China secured 57 outbound merger and acquisition deals worth $9.9 billion and 145 outbound investment deals worth $4.5 billion globally from January to April. U.S. policymakers say Beijing is exploiting economic vulnerabilities to boost its regional clout, mimicking its acquisition of an 11% stake in Australia’s distressed Rio Tinto mining company in 2008 or the strategically placed Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka in 2017. “China is a predatory firesale investor,” says Patrick M. Cronin, Asia-Pacific security chair at the Washington-based Hudson Institute.

The pandemic is a “two-sided coin” for China, says Derek Scissors, a Chinese-economy specialist at the American Enterprise Institute. Sure, there may be some opportunities for the country to build up domestic enterprise and acquire beaten-down firms on the cheap, especially in nations desperate for export credit because of cratering demand in the northern hemisphere.

But on the flip side, China’s exportreliant economy will struggle while consumers–especially in the U.S.–aren’t buying its products. Domestic consumption cannot replace the $2.5 trillion that China sold overseas last year. Although the state’s jobs figures are notoriously unreliable, unemployment has surged during the pandemic. Lu Zhiming, whose exporting business M.H. Furniture employs 22 people at a 30,000-sq.-ft. factory in the southern Chinese city of Dongguan, says a slump in demand because of COVID-19 has already forced competitors to lay off staff and he may have to follow suit. “If the pandemic continues, it will be cata-strophic for manufacturing.”

Some analysts predict the supply-chain vulnerabilities spotlighted by the crisis will accelerate the decoupling process already under way between the U.S. and China. As the Trump Administration has piled sanctions on China, U.S. companies are attempting to shift their supply chains for goods and services to other Asian countries, to avoid exposure to tariffs. The shock of COVID-19 may bring us closer to the moment when Washington and Beijing represent separate, opposing poles of economic influence–especially as the Trump Administration casts China in hostile terms. Trump has described the coronavirus pandemic as the “worst at-tack” ever on the U.S., in his mind eclipsing even Pearl Harbor and 9/11, and has pushed the so-far unsubstantiated theory that the coronavirus originated in a Wuhan laboratory. In recent weeks, the White House and Labor Department have directed the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, which controls federal retirement funds, to stop investing in Chinese companies, according to documents seen by CNBC. U.S. and British officials have accused Chinese hackers of trying to steal research into COVID-19 vaccines. Several Republican Senators introduced a bill that would allow Trump to sanction China for refusing to cooperate with investigations into the virus’s origins.

The U.S. Commerce Department also recently announced new export-control rules to prevent commercial companies in China–as well as Russia and Venezuela–from acquiring sensitive U.S. technology. For the investor Lee, decoupling may be understandable for true national-security reasons, but it stands to egregiously undercut competitiveness “if it’s done purely from lack of trust or nationalism.”

But Trump officials argue that, with China, national security blends with competitive advantage. Keith Krach, the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment, says Beijing is using a “three-prong strategy” of “concealment, co-option and coercion” to insert itself into crucial U.S. manufacturing supply lines, procuring proprietary foreign intellectual property (IP) in the process. He says supply chains can include 10 to 20 layers of contractors and subcontractors, making any technology therein vulnerable to theft, given that, he says, Chinese firms are obligated to share trade secrets or intellectual property with their government.

The Trump Administration’s goal, says Krach, is to “protect and diversify U.S. supply chains, particularly from overreliance” on China by exploring options like publicprivate R&D partnerships, special manufacturing zones, and cash or tax incentives to stay in the U.S. “When you build a manufacturing plant in China, you’re not just giving the blue-prints, you’re giving them process engineering and training their labor force,” he says. “You can see that, in case after case from … mobile phones to semiconductors to automobiles.”

Still, the costs of decoupling would be steep, and unwanted during a time of deep global recession. And the U.S. bullishness fails to account for the reality of how interconnected the two economies still are: China produces 97% of America’s antibiotics. Apple, the most valuable U.S. company and the world’s first trillion-dollar one, still produces the vast majority of its wares in China. And Chinese enterprise is still finding success in the U.S. Lockdown favorite videoconferencing service Zoom, for example, was created in Silicon Valley by an entrepreneur born in China’s Shandong province.

Lu, the furniture manufacturer, doubts any rival could compete with China, in manufacturing at least. He says some friends who shifted businesses to Vietnam because of rising costs have now returned to China, chastened by labor disputes and other headwinds. Meanwhile, his business partners in Copenhagen have to pay staff $25 per hour–10 times more than equivalent skilled workers in China. “With such high costs, how is it possible for manufacturing to return to Europe?”

In the early days of the coronavirus, China saw an opportunity to recast itself from being the source of the deadly pandemic to the provider of much-needed aid and expertise. It sent teams of medics to Italy, Iran and Iraq as their outbreaks spun out of control, and personal protection equipment (PPE) to allies and critics alike; on April 2, as rows of field-hospital tents were being built to treat COVID-19 patients in New York City’s Central Park, a plane carrying masks, gloves and other supplies arrived in the city from China. It followed up with 1,000 ventilators.

But the hard edges of the soft-power campaign swiftly became apparent. Masks sent to the Netherlands failed to meet international standards and were recalled. Testing kits delivered to Spain and Slovakia turned out to be inadequate.

Popular praise lavished on China by grateful ally Italy turned out to be partly fabricated; according to recent analysis by data firm Alkemy, for Italy’s Formiche media group, 46% of tweets using the hashtag #forzaCinaeItalia, which translates as “Come on China and Italy,” were generated by automated bots. For #grazieCina, meaning “Thanks China,” it was 37%.

The ham-fisted attempt at so-called mask diplomacy has proved to be inef-fective in changing minds about China. E.U. chief diplomat Josep Borrell warned in a blog post that China’s “politics of gen-erosity” concealed “a geopolitical compo-nent including a struggle for influence.” Beyond Trump’s crude attempts to shift blame by labeling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus,” a growing coalition of countries now support an investigation into the true origins of the outbreak, including Austra-lia and the E.U. Beijing has pushed back against any suggestion of deliberate de-ception. “There has never been any cover-up and we do not allow cover-ups,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Li-jian told a news briefing April 17.

The attempt to pose as a munificent su-perpower is in line with China’s broader attempts to fill the vacancy on the world stage left by the U.S. under Trump. It has inserted nationals into key posts in many multinational institutions–from the U.N. and Interpol to the IMF–and its contri-butions to the World Health Organization, the U.N.’s health agency, have grown by 52% since 2014, up to $86 million in 2018 and 2019 (though still only about a 10th of the U.S. contributions in the same period). China has found a willing partner in the Kremlin to reorientate the world order away from the U.S. “Being among the main victor powers in World War II and permanent members of the U.N. Se-curity Council, China and Russia shoulder the task of safeguarding global peace,” Xi told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a call on May 8.

But while China has won representation in international institutions, its val-ues often remain at odds with their goals. “As China tries to fill the void left by the U.S., we shouldn’t forget that the [Com-munist Party] prioritizes its own inter-ests over those enshrined in those institutions,” says Lucrezia Poggetti, an analyst with the Mercator Institute for China Studies in Berlin. When those interests clash, China’s tend to win out–as when Interpol’s Chinese chief Meng Hongwei was arrested in 2018 and later jailed as part of an anticorruption drive by Xi.

Trump makes no pretense of leading the world. When a global virtual summit toward finding a COVID-19 vaccine was held May 4, Washington chose not to at-tend. “The two largest, most powerful countries in the world are not participating in efforts to stop this pandemic and contribute to the knowledge base,” says Dr. Maureen Miller, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at Columbia University.

But China’s lack of interest in shared global values is not lost on the general public. According to a Pew survey pub-lished in December, Xi inspires less con-fidence than any of the current leaders of the U.S., Germany, France and Russia, at just 28%. (Though Trump scores only a single percentage point better.) Roughly two-thirds of Americans have an unfa-vorable view of China. Even the usually myopic CCP is waking up to the fact. In a report presented to Xi in early April, China’s Institutes of Contemporary In-ternational Relations, which is overseen by the Ministry of State Security, con-cluded that global anti-China sentiment is at its highest since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

This is not likely to matter much to Xi while the world remains in the shadow of the coronavirus. Beijing is acutely para-noid and puts party legitimacy above all else, and so external ambitions will al-ways be sacrificed to domestic stability–especially important as a slowing economy gnaws away at jobs and liveli-hoods. Inside China, surveillance mea-sures installed for public health will be ramped up with an eye to stemming future social strife. “This train is only moving in one direction, and that is toward increased ability to surveil and control,” says Ker Gibbs, president of the Ameri-can Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

Control isn’t fertile ground for creation, though. What Chinese leaders often miss is that American influence stems more from its dynamic colleges, Hollywood and the NBA than the Belt-way. Yet a defining characteristic of Xi’s “China Dream” is its inability to cultivate the kind of soft power that gives other countries a larger presence on the world stage. While South Korea has K-pop and the U.K. has Premier League soccer, China has stifling control. Last year, censors blurred the pierced earlobes of male pop stars lest their “feminism” corrupt the nation’s boys. Chinese rock musician Li Zhi had a tour canceled, his social-media ac-counts deleted and music expunged from streaming sites after he obliquely refer-enced the Tiananmen Square massacre. Even record-breaking period drama Story of Yanxi Palace–China’s equivalent of Downton Abbey–was taken off the air last year after state media decried the “negative influence on society” of its extrava-gant tales of imperial intrigue.

Instead, artists must be absurdly passive or patriotic. The latest hit from Chengdu-based rap collective CD Rev is titled “Mr. President,” and includes chest-thumping lyrics like “We don’t pick up a fight but we ain’t intimidated by hawks/ 1.4 billion people we on a warship/ maybe you strike me first try to destroy Hua-wei/ that makes me sick you full of hate.” Speaking with TIME, lead singer Wang Zixin denied all songs prop up the party: “We also do antidrugs songs and songs promoting feminism.”

Not exactly “F-ck tha Police.” Under Xi, there’s simply not enough creative space to build cultural currency out-side an ever narrowing Chinese soci-ety. China’s political system boosted its internal COVID-19 response and shields its economy, but global leadership is ham-strung by a lack of shared culture or val-ues. That is not going to change unless China opens up and reforms–a complete reversal from its current course. “China’s influence stems almost entirely from its money,” says Scott W. Harold, an East Asia expert at the U.S. policy think tank Rand Corporation. That in itself might give it a temporary boost coming out of the coronavirus, but not enough of one to transform the world.

As night set on Shanghai Disneyland, a kaleidoscope of light emblazons the Magic Castle with “thanks” in differ-ent languages to honor frontline medi-cal workers, bringing tears to the eyes of the nurse Qi. “America is the home of Disney,” Qi says. “It would be a dream to visit there one day.” If American po-litical leadership has receded, its deep cultural bonds are more difficult to re-place. That is the kryptonite to Commu-nist China’s global ambitions–to lead, it has to be liked, too.

Thủ đô Bắc Kinh có kế hoạch lắp đặt camera nhận dạng khuôn mặt tại tất cả các ga tàu điện ngầm

Thủ đô Bắc Kinh có kế hoạch lắp đặt camera nhận dạng khuôn mặt tại tất cả các ga tàu điện ngầm, với mục đích giám sát và phân loại hành khách thành các nhóm “an toàn”.

Kế hoạch này đã phải nhận sự chỉ trích của nhiều người, về ý định độc đoán của Bắc Kinh, bao gồm giáo sư tại một trường đại học nổi tiếng của Trung Quốc, theo Epoch Times.

"Danh sách trắng"

Hôm 3/10, Tân Hoa Xã của Trung Quốc đưa tin rằng nhà điều hành tàu điện ngầm của Bắc Kinh sẽ cài đặt một hệ thống nhận dạng khuôn mặt tại các nhà ga tàu điện ngầm, được tích hợp với ‘hệ thống chấm điểm xã hội’ của Trung Quốc, theo đó các công dân sẽ được đánh giá xem có “đáng tin cậy” hay không, dựa trên cơ sở hành vi xã hội của họ.

Hành khách sẽ được phân loại thành các nhóm khác nhau, dựa trên điểm số xã hội của họ. Nhân viên nhà ga sau đó sẽ tiến hành các thủ tục kiểm tra an ninh khác nhau, cho phù hợp.

Những hành khách đáng tin cậy được đưa vào một "Danh sách trắng" và họ có thể vượt qua kiểm tra an ninh bằng cách đi vào "làn nhanh" (express lane). Những hành khách khác sẽ phải trải qua sự kiểm tra an ninh phức tạp hơn.

Công ty tàu điện ngầm Bắc Kinh cho biết hệ thống này được thiết kế để đẩy nhanh quá trình kiểm tra an ninh tại các ga tàu điện ngầm.

Kể từ năm 2008, hầu hết các hệ thống tàu điện ngầm ở các thành phố lớn của Trung Quốc đều kiểm tra an ninh nghiêm ngặt đối với tất cả hành khách và hành lý của họ.

Kể từ năm 2014, các công ty tàu điện ngầm ở Trung Quốc đã triển khai một hệ thống, được gọi là hệ thống “kiểm tra người và đồ vật”, theo đó tất cả hành khách phải đi qua máy quét cơ thể kiểu sân bay, và tất cả hành lý và túi phải đi qua các máy sàng lọc.

Đối với phụ nữ mang thai, trẻ em thấp hơn 1,2 mét và người khuyết tật, những người không thể dễ dàng đi qua hệ thống máy móc, họ sẽ bị các nhân viên an ninh kiểm tra trước khi vào nhà ga.

Việc kiểm tra an ninh thường tạo ra những hàng người rất dài, xếp hàng tại các nhà ga tàu điện ngầm chính ở các thành phố lớn. Theo tin tức của các hãng truyền thông nhà nước tại Bắc Kinh, tại những lúc cao điểm, hành khách ở Bắc Kinh thường phải chờ khoảng 15 phút, để vượt qua kiểm tra an ninh vào nhà ga.

[caption id="attachment_1268707" align="alignnone" width="660"] Cảnh xếp hàng rồng rắn khi Bắc Kinh quyết định áp dụng biện pháp an ninh chống khủng bố tại các nhà ga lớn.[/caption]

Trong thời điểm nhạy cảm về chính trị, như khi Đảng Cộng sản Trung Quốc (ĐCSTQ) tổ chức Đại hội Đảng toàn quốc 5 năm một lần, vào tháng 10/2017, các trạm tàu điện ngầm Bắc Kinh đã tăng cường các biện pháp an ninh, khiến hầu hết hành khách phải chờ tới 60 phút trong những giờ giao thông cao điểm.

Những quan ngại của người dân

Bà Lao Dongyan, giáo sư tại Đại học Luật Thanh Hoa, bày tỏ mối quan ngại về kế hoạch mới này của Bắc Kinh, bà đăng một bài bình luận dài trên tài khoản WeChat của mình. WeChat là mạng xã hội phổ biến nhất của Trung Quốc.

“Chính phủ ĐCSTQ đã thu thập rất nhiều dữ liệu cá nhân, bao gồm cả những trang mạng bạn đã đọc, những tin tức và video mà bạn đã xem, những mặt hàng bạn đã mua, những người mà bạn đã trò chuyện trên WeChat, những gì bạn thích và không thích”, bà Dongyan viết hôm 31/10.

Theo bà Dongyan, có rất nhiều lo ngại về quyền riêng tư, với những người có quyền truy cập vào dữ liệu cá nhân của công dân.

“Chúng tôi không biết họ sẽ sử dụng dữ liệu của chúng tôi như thế nào và họ sẽ kiểm soát cuộc sống của chúng tôi như thế nào. Hơn nữa, tin tặc có thể đánh cắp dữ liệu của chúng tôi, và dữ liệu có thể bị rò rỉ do bảo vệ không đúng cách”, bà Dongyan bức xúc viết.

Là một chuyên gia pháp lý, bà Dongyan cho rằng khuôn mặt của một người được coi là dữ liệu sinh trắc quan trọng. Do đó, chính phủ không có quyền thu thập dữ liệu này mà không xin phép họ trước.

“Ai là người cho phép sở giao thông, cơ quan quản lý công ty metro Bắc Kinh, quyền phân loại hành khách? Luật nào cho phép họ làm điều đó? Họ sẽ sử dụng loại tiêu chuẩn nào để phân loại hành khách?”, bà Dongyan đặt câu hỏi về tính hợp pháp của hệ thống nhận diện khuôn mặt theo kế hoạch.

Bà Dongyan cũng không nghĩ hệ thống này có thể đẩy nhanh việc kiểm tra an ninh tại các ga tàu điện ngầm.

“Kinh nghiệm cá nhân của tôi về việc kiểm tra tại khách sạn và máy bay cho thấy, một hệ thống nhận dạng khuôn mặt hầu như không thể đẩy nhanh quá trình kiểm tra”, bà Dongyan nhận định.

Lo sợ về việc chính quyền lạm dụng dữ liệu, bà Dongyan nói: “Nếu họ lạm dụng dữ liệu, tôi không biết gia đình mình và tôi sẽ mất gì. Đó có thể là của cải, danh tiếng, việc làm, quyền tự do, sức khỏe và thậm chí là cuộc sống của chúng tôi”.

Nhận diện cảm xúc

Bên cạnh nhận dạng khuôn mặt, chính quyền Trung Quốc còn đã đưa ra một hệ thống nhận diện cảm xúc, có thể ��ánh giá cảm xúc của người đi bộ qua đường bằng camera an ninh.

Tờ Thời báo Tài chính (FT) đã đưa tin hôm 1/11 rằng công nghệ này là trọng tâm của một cuộc triển lãm công nghệ giám sát gần đây, được tổ chức tại thành phố Thâm Quyến, một sự kiện công nghệ lớn ở Trung Quốc.

Ông Li Xiaoyu, một chuyên gia trị an, cán bộ của ĐCSTQ ở Sở công an thành phố Altay, vùng tây bắc Tân Cương, nói với tờ FT rằng chính quyền đã bắt đầu sử dụng công nghệ này tại hải quan, có thể phát hiện các dấu hiệu hung hăng, trạng thái lo lắng, mức độ căng thẳng của một người, và khả năng tấn công những người khác.

Tân Cương là quê hương của những người Duy Ngô Nhĩ và các nhóm thiểu số Hồi giáo khác, những người phải chịu sự giám sát liên tục, bị đàn áp tôn giáo, và phải đối mặt với việc bị giam giữ trong các trại tập trung, nơi họ bị tẩy não và nhồi sọ về chính trị.
