On February 25th, the renowned social media account Teacher Li Is Not Your Teacher, which
frequently posts about China, alerted its followers that the Chinese Ministry of Public
Security is investigating individuals one by one.
Among the 1.6 million Chinese users being hunted, those found following his account
will face interrogation.
Therefore, the account advises all followers who feel apprehensive to unfollow his account
and use other methods to access news.
The Teacher Li Is Not Your Teacher account rose to fame during the white paper movement
surge in China and later gained international attention.
The author, who owns the X account with over 1 million followers, is a young art student
studying in Italy.
The account has reposted many protests and disasters in China and has become a focal
point for many international media outlets.
The news on his X account has become a primary channel for Chinese citizens to gather information
on the X platform.
Due to his account's profile picture being a cat, he drew himself.
The account is dubbed the most dangerous cat in China.
The article's author reminds us that if someone wishes to express dissenting views
on foreign websites, they should avoid using domestically produced mobile phones, especially
recent products from Huawei.
The warning also includes routers and other devices.
The author also mentions that if internet users in China have domestic and foreign social
media accounts, they should immediately unfollow his account, as failing to do so could easily
lead to being traced by the police.
About 24 hours after the warning was posted, his follower count decreased from over 1.6
million to just 1.4 million, indicating that many Chinese netizens unfollowed him to avoid
trouble.
In a recent interview, the article's author stated that many internet users have been
interrogated by the police, with the central question being whether they have been reading
or viewing news from the Teacher Li Is Not Your Teacher account.
He believes that he has to inform internet users, and wants Chinese netizens to avoid
unnecessary risks.

but did not receive a response.
