From the Sixth Tone - they arrived more than TWELVE hours before the check in time Netizens Debate Chinese Family’s ‘Mistreatment’ in Sweden China’s Foreign Ministry demands an explanation for why three tourists — whom some have dubbed ‘con artists’ — were removed from a hostel by police and dropped off at a cemetery.

It's just another bandwagon for China to jump on. If you haven’t discussed #ChatGPT in China, you have already fallen behind. The wave of chatting with artificial intelligence (AI) has blown up among zoomers. Launched at the end of November 2022, the number of monthly active users of the AI chat robot passed 100 million in just two months. In contrast, it took nine months for TikTok to draw 100 million monthly active users and two and a half years for Instagram. The race now is to be the first Chinese version of ChatGPT, leaving users wondering who will ultimately prevail in the final AI boom. China’s tech giants, such as Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, JD.com, and NetEase, have all entered the game. An AI race inspired by ChatGPT is in full swing. from China Pictorial on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/100063559089280/posts/pfbid0iT4bFfH12hWnZ1c2WAbhexq2kSSJU5aNkduPYD9QYSMSPSjFENAbujasSyhTh3nMl/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Someone on VJ has reported that the new DS-160 online form ( and, I assume the DS-260 as well), as of May 29, require the input of their social media handles, including Weibo. DS 160 social media handles in non-Latin alphabets Most Chinese citizens, of course, use Chinese characters - but the forms don't allow these. Check with ustraveldocs.com, or with the Consulate through their email form. The Consulate used to require telegraphic codes for the characters to prevent any mis-interpretation - maybe 15 years ago. Until you have a better answer, enter pinyin with tone marks (diacritical or numeric) - let THEM sort it out.

I bought a year of lessons at this site and it is pretty good. She also posts freebies that teach a little language in the context of learning about culture and include inline audio samples. I notice that the Chinese character pastes into the mini editor but is gone when I select "publish post": http://www.yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Slang-Modern-Chinese-Useful-Words Chinese Slang Words Guaranteed to Impress Your Chinese Friends! One of the toughest things about learning a new language is becoming familiar with the local slang. This is particularly true in China, where (wng mn) - netizens love to come up with new, entertaining slang terms that confuse foreigners (and older Chinese!). 1. Ի(ch hu) C Foodie When I first joined (wi xn) C WeChat (Chinas Facebook) I was puzzled to discover that about half of the pictures my friends posted were of food. Often, these pictures were accompanied by the tag Ի(w sh ch hu) C Im a Ի(ch hu) . It turns out Ի(ch hu) means someone who is passionate about food and loves trying out new dishes C i.e. a foodie. And lots of Chinese people like to label themselves Ի(ch hu) , posting pictures of food theyve cooked and eaten on social media for other Ի(ch hu) to appreciate. As a food-lover myself, I quickly joined in C now whenever I go out to eat Ill spend a few minutes snapping pictures of whatever delicious dishes Im eating to share online with my Ի(ch hu) friends.
