national team and scored nine goals in 2009 shea announced his retirement and worked as an assistant coach at shanghai shenhua and shanghai sipg before starting as the head coach of the chinese league

such snitching is related to the so-called patriotism in nationalism one of the well-known cases involves two professors at xinhua university china's top academic institution they were suspended in 2019 after being reported by students for criticizing the ccp in their lectures now the snitching vat is getting worse with stories of all sorts appearing just as the ccp begins to clean up the entertainment industry on august 13 2021 a blogger posted that a famous chinese actor attended a friend's wedding in 2019 at nakey shrine in japan which is dedicated to japanese soldiers who died in battle the story quickly spread on the internet and other netizens dug up a group of such photos where the actor posed in front of the yasukuni shrine in japan although he apologized on his weibo account on the 13th clarifying that he did not enter the yasukuni shrine and he is not pro-japanese and he is chinese the chinese association of performing arts said on the afternoon of august 19 that the actor's behavior hurts not only national feelings but also bring a bad influence on the youth group in his audience china's national media the people's daily criticized the actor stating as a public figure the general knowledge of history is so lacking with little awareness of the national suffering it is not very good on august 21 several online platforms in mainland china shelved as film and television works variety shows and music works many platforms have returned the message that such a person does not exist when searching about him some people commented that it only took four hours of online trending to bring down a famous actor in an instant in the public opinion propaganda the ccp has listed japan and the us as the number one enemies of the chinese people however in reality former communist party leader mao zedong thanked japan on several diplomatic occasions for invading china and giving the communist party the opportunity to seize power before the war our army had reached 300 000 but due to our own mistakes it was reduced to more than twenty thousand in the middle of the eight year war our army grew to 1.2 million you see japan did us a great favor didn't it in 1972 on the eve of establishing diplomatic relations between china and japan premier zhaowan lay announced to waive the rights to demand war compensation from japan this news shocked not only japan but also the whole world there may be nothing wrong with reporting bad behavior the snitching fad is pretty much based on the standards set by the ccp in reality many of the ccp standards are anti-human and anti-universal values by encouraging snitching the ccp creates an environment of absolute subservience to the ccp system a china researcher for the international organization human rights watch told the voice of america that many people are now telling other friends a frightening phenomenon that brings back the memory of the cultural revolution during the incessant political campaigns launched by the ccp tragedies in which parents children husbands and wives colleagues and friends denounced each other have been abundant the peak of the development of snitching was during the cultural revolution when some children sent their parents to the guillotine by telling on them during the june 4 tiananmen student movement in 1989 the communist authorities planted many informers among the students tiananmen square was filled with informers when the time came to settle scores these secret informers came into play and gained political points for themselves some of the students easily became professors after they graduated in traditional chinese culture informant behavior or snitching has never been honored chinese confucian culture believes that the basis of being a human being and learning a skill is first to know what is right and wrong in the world good and evil right and wrong and to be able to understand the norms of good and evil traditional chinese moral values also emphasize the preservation of morality love injustice among people and philan piety and fraternity in the family to maintain the stability and peace of the family and society in ancient china there was a principle in criminal law that relatives could cover for their families and that failure to denounce or testify was not a crime and that active denunciation of one's families and relatives could result in criminal charges chinese friendships are willing to take risks for others or sacrifice oneself for the sake of friendship such behaviors are praised and honored no betrayal of one's friends and family is the basic principle of being human it is considered the fundamentals of being just and righteous the ancient chinese book says propriety justice integrity and honor are the four dimensions of the state when the four social bonds are broken the country is destroyed [Music] you
