China warns public servants not to 'show off' online
BEIJING: China's spy agency warned public workers yesterday to curb their "desire to show off" state secrets on social media. Beijing has ramped up espionage warnings in recent years as ties with the United States and other Western nations have cooled. The Ministry of State Security said this month foreign spooks were targeting public officials with tantalising "honey traps" and blackmail to infiltrate the country and steal sensitive information. In another admonition yesterday, the ministry turned its focus to newbie workers who, in its view, might be spending a little too much time online. It cited the example of a young man surnamed Jiang, a "newly employed cadre at a certain agency" who received a confidential document during a regular work meeting. "Out of a desire to show off, he took a photo of the front page and posted it on his WeChat Moments, causing a leak," said the ministry, referring to the social media app's news feed. It added that Jiang faced punishment from the ruling Communist Party and "administrative discipline" for his actions. In a similar case, a greenhorn worker surnamed Tian "casually" shared his progress on a confidential project with a colleague, whose family overheard the conversation and posted about it online. Another "novice" mistake involved a scientific worker surnamed Li, who lazily uploaded sensitive data to an artificial intelligence app to generate a research report, causing a leak. "New employees in confidential units... must strictly distinguish between work and life boundaries, strictly follow confidentiality agreements while socialising and entertaining, and strictly control their 'desire to show off' and 'vanity'," said the ministry. Beijing and Washington have long traded accusations of espionage. In China, spying can be punishable by death. The ministry said in March it had handed such a sentence to a former engineer for leaking state secrets to a foreign power. This month, it had cracked three spying plots, including one in which a public servant was bewitched by the "seductive beauty" of a foreign agent. Enmeshed in a "meticulously designed honey trap", the hapless employee was blackmailed with "intimate photos" and forced to hand over official documents, landing him five years in prison, said the ministry. — AFP

(Video) Actor Tian Xu Ning Breaks Down In Tears As Cabin Crew Hold Back Frenzied Fans
It isn't uncommon for fans to get excited when they see their favourite idol. To a normal degree, one might ask for a picture or signature, or share kind words to show support. However, some fans take things too far and cross the line of common courtesy. Rising actor Tian Xu Ning (田栩宁) was recently a victim of such behaviour. Allegations of infidelity have been circling the internet for the past few weeks, making him a hot topic in the Chinese entertainment industry. On 4th July 2025 (Friday), the BL actor sat in business class on his trip from Changsha to Fuzhou. Once the plane landed and the announcements went off, fans rushed from their seats to berate Tian. Starring in his latest series, 'Revenged Love', he had quickly garnered the attention of netizens due to his talented acting skills. However, controversy was swift to follow. Allegedly, at least five women have come out to speak against the actor, stating that they were all having romantic relationships with him, with some saying that they bore his child. None of these reports has any evidence to back them up; however, this does little to stop flaming the actor or accusing him of being manipulative and deceitful. It has led many companies tied to future acting roles and talk shows to feel pressured to drop Tian until he holds personal accountability. Public opinion remains divided—some believe he is a victim of targeted defamation, while others continue to demand an apology. According to the video, fans had been yelling at Tian as flight attendants struggled to hold them back from entering the business cabin. Voices could be heard shouting, 'Tell your girlfriend to stop appearing in public,' and 'Is the kid really yours?' The actor was then seen ducking his head and wiping tears away, clearly overwhelmed by the confrontation. This reaction sparked debate among netizens. Some sympathised, believing Tian's tears showed genuine sadness and vulnerability. Others argued it was a calculated move to gain public sympathy amid the scandal. With emotions running high on both sides, the incident has only deepened the divide in public opinion, leaving many wondering how the 27-year-old actor will respond next.
