「广西横州溃坝灾区蓝色帐篷一夜被撤，现场遭围挡并限制拍摄（2026.08.02）」 在广西南宁市横州市六蓝水库溃坝灾区的村庄里，曾出现大量蓝色帐篷。据当地村民介绍，每一顶帐篷都对应一栋被洪水冲走的房屋，帐篷搭建的位置就是原房屋的地基。这些特殊的标记，也被一些航拍爱好者记录了下来。 然而，8月2日，村民发现，这些帐篷一夜之间被当地政府全部撤走。与此同时，当局连夜架设围栏，并出动警察阻止人们靠近和拍摄。部分村民怀疑，当局可能担心这些帐篷暴露灾区房屋损毁规模，甚至让外界进一步追问真实的人员伤亡情况。村民还透露，自8月2日起，外来人员进入当地需要出示身份证。对此，有网友讽刺道：“通常被围起来的地方，不是为了遮丑，就是准备收费。”“这里已经成了国家秘密基地！”
Blue Tents Removed Overnight from the Hengzhou Dam-Failure Disaster Area; Site Fenced Off and Photography Restricted (August 2, 2026)
Large numbers of blue tents once appeared in villages affected by the failure of the Liulan Reservoir dam in Hengzhou, Nanning, Guangxi. According to local villagers, each tent represented a house that had been swept away by the flood, and the tents were erected directly over the foundations of the destroyed homes. These distinctive markers were also recorded by some drone enthusiasts.
However, on August 2, villagers discovered that all the tents had been removed overnight by the local government. At the same time, the authorities erected fences during the night and deployed police officers to prevent people from approaching the area or taking photographs. Some villagers suspected that the authorities were concerned the tents might reveal the true scale of the destruction and prompt further questions about the actual number of casualties.
Villagers also said that beginning on August 2, outsiders were required to present identification before entering the area. One netizen sarcastically commented: “Usually, when a place is fenced off, it is either to hide something shameful or to start charging admission.”
“This place has become a state-secret base!”
「广西多地灾民称救灾物资严重不足，与官方宣传形成鲜明反差（2026.08.03）」8月3日，广西南宁市横州市云表镇沿江街一名灾民向志愿者表示，从7月6日水库溃坝到8月3日的近一个月里，当地政府只向她发放了5斤大米，以及少量矿泉水和方便面。云表镇农贸市场的另一名灾民则表示，自己只收到矿泉水、方便面和面包，连大米都没有。 据知情网友透露，云表镇沿江街和粮油路一带有不少灾民反映，他们获得的救灾物资非常有限。原因可能是这两条街的居民大多由外地搬迁而来，在当地救灾物资分配中受到忽视。 此外，贵港市覃塘区潘塘村一名村民表示，7月6日至9日期间，他们一家六口总共只领到三桶方便面和十瓶矿泉水。 然而，根据中共官方宣传，当地救灾物资供应充足。那么，这些物资究竟去了哪里？与此同时，不少民间人士反映，他们试图向灾区捐赠或运送救灾物资时，却遭到当地政府阻拦或拒绝。 灾民的实际处境，与官方营造的“物资充足、救援有序”景象形成了鲜明反差。
Disaster Victims Across Guangxi Report Severe Shortages of Relief Supplies, Contradicting Official Propaganda (August 3, 2026)
On August 3, a disaster victim from Yanjiang Street in Yunbiao Town, Hengzhou, Nanning, Guangxi, told volunteers that in the nearly one month between the reservoir collapse on July 6 and August 3, the local government had provided her with only five jin—approximately 2.5 kilograms—of rice, along with a small amount of bottled water and instant noodles. Another disaster victim at the Yunbiao Town agricultural market said that she had received only bottled water, instant noodles, and bread—not even any rice.
According to an informed netizen, many disaster victims living around Yanjiang Street and Liangyou Road in Yunbiao Town reported receiving very limited relief supplies. One possible reason is that most residents of these two streets had relocated there from elsewhere and may have been neglected in the local distribution of disaster relief materials.
In addition, a villager from Pantang Village in Qintang District, Guigang, said that between July 6 and 9, their family of six received a total of only three buckets of instant noodles and ten bottles of mineral water.
However, according to Chinese Communist Party propaganda, relief supplies in the affected areas were abundant. If so, where did those supplies go? Meanwhile, many members of the public have reported that when they attempted to donate or transport relief supplies to the disaster-stricken areas, they were obstructed or turned away by local authorities.
The actual conditions faced by disaster victims stand in stark contrast to the official portrayal of “abundant supplies and orderly relief operations.”

He joined the military in 1991 and later attended a military academy.

According to publicly available information, Shen began providing legal advice to petitioners around 2009 and drew attention to the unlawful detention of petitioners and the operation of so-called “black jails.” Front Line Defenders recognizes him as a human rights defender in China.
In 2013, Shen was arrested after taking part in the rescue of petitioners who were being detained. That year, Amnesty International issued an urgent action concerning the arrests of Shen and several other rights defenders, as well as allegations that they had been tortured. In 2014, Shen was sentenced to 18 months in prison for “intentional destruction of property.” In 2017, he was sentenced to another two years and six months for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” He received a third prison sentence of three years in 2023 and was released on April 30, 2025. His three prison terms amounted to a total of seven years.
After his release in 2025, Shen continued to pursue appeals and participate in rights-defence activities. He was subsequently subjected again to administrative detention, criminal detention, and residential surveillance. On May 30, 2026, the coercive measure imposed on him was changed from residential surveillance to bail pending investigation.

“Huawei’s Attempt to Silence ‘Bamboo Cicada’ Videos Sparks Outrage and a Nationwide Wave of Mockery (2026.07–08)”
Recently, a traditional bamboo toy known as the “bamboo cicada” went viral online, with related videos quickly surpassing 10 million views and its distinctive “wah-wah” sound echoing across social media platforms.
The trend reportedly began in late July, when some users noticed that the sound produced by spinning the toy closely resembled the audience’s astonished reaction at the 2023 AITO M9 launch, after Huawei executive Richard Yu declared it “the best SUV under 10 million yuan.” Large numbers of users then began turning the resemblance into an online joke.
Huawei subsequently filed complaints with several platforms, alleging that the videos used insinuation, indirect references and altered sound effects to ridicule the company and its executives and damage its business reputation. Some videos were deleted or had their reach restricted.
The move, however, provoked an even stronger backlash. Large numbers of users joined the mockery, continued buying bamboo cicadas and uploaded videos of themselves spinning the toys. Others imitated the sound using bottle caps, pot lids, wrenches, medicine bottles and various other objects, with some even developing “prop-free performances.” As a result, both public attention and sales of the toy continued to rise.
