Today's video covers the following news:

1."Xi Jinping" banner ripped on a flyover in Beijing:
Recently, on a bridge somewhere in Beijing, a man ripped off a giant official banner hanging on a flyover that reads, "Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, Strive harder..." The part that was torn off happened to be the characters "Xi Jinping".
The Beijing authorities have taken measures against these unexpected events by building booths at many of Beijing's flyovers and manned them day and night to watch the bridges. However, after the incident, netizens have commented, saying, "Where is the bridge guard? Negligence! The person should be fired."

2. China's "Zero-Covid" policy has led to two opposite worlds: The boom of nucleic acid testing and the destruction of people's livelihoods:
After the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, the outbreak has resurged in many cities in China. Local governments have stepped up their control measures which have not only led to humanitarian disasters but also devastated the Chinese economy.
According to Bloomberg, from January to September 2022, the budget deficit at all levels of the Chinese government reached a record high of 7.16 trillion RMB. Under the zero-covid policy, many places' subway passenger traffic, people's travel, and cargo volume by sea and land deteriorated in October. China's economy is entering a slowdown in the fourth quarter, while the endless control measures have led to a build-up of public discontent, with more and more people revolting.
