Du Wen at Her, the bar she started last year, in Shanghai. “I think everyone living in this city seems to have reached this stage that they want to explore more about the power of women,” she said.

Her is a self-described feminist bar in Shanghai where women gather to talk about their place in society

The female bookstore, Paper Moon, in Shanghai
In bars tucked away in alleys and at salons and bookstores around Shanghai, women are debating their place in a country where men make the laws.
Some wore wedding gowns to take public vows of commitment to themselves. Others gathered to watch films made by women about women. The bookish flocked to female bookshops to read titles like “The Woman Destroyed” and “Living a Feminist Life.”
Women in Shanghai, and some of China’s other biggest cities, are negotiating the fragile terms of public expression at a politically precarious moment. China’s ruling Communist Party has identified feminism as a threat to its authority. Female rights activists have been jailed. Concerns about harassment and violence against women are ignored or outright silenced.
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has diminished the role of women at work and in public office. There are no female members of Mr. Xi’s inner circle or the Politburo, the executive policymaking body. He has invoked more traditional roles for women, as caretakers and mothers, in planning a new “childbearing culture” to address a shrinking population.
But groups of women around China are quietly reclaiming their own identities. Many are from a generation that grew up with more freedom than their mothers. Women in Shanghai, profoundly shaken by a two-month Covid lockdown in 2022, are being driven by a need to build community.
“I think everyone living in this city seems to have reached this stage that they want to explore more about the power of women,” said Du Wen, the founder of Her, a bar that hosts salon discussions.
Frustrated by the increasingly narrow understanding of women by the public, Nong He, a film and theater student, held a screening of three documentaries about women by female Chinese directors.
“I think we should have a broader space for women to create,” Ms. He said. “We hope to organize such an event to let people know what our life is like, what the life of other women is like, and with that understanding, we can connect and provide some help to each other.”
At quietly advertised events, women question misogynistic tropes in Chinese culture. “Why are lonely ghosts always female?” one woman recently asked, referring to Chinese literature’s depiction of homeless women after death. They share tips for beginners to feminism. Start with history, said Tang Shuang, the owner of Paper Moon, which sells books by female authors. “This is like the basement of the structure.”
There are few reliable statistics about gender violence and sexual harassment in China, but incidents of violence against women have occurred with greater frequency, according to researchers and social workers. Stories have circulated widely online of women being physically maimed or brutally murdered for trying to leave their husbands, or savagely beaten for resisting unwanted attention from men. The discovery of a woman who was chained inside a doorless shack in the eastern province of Jiangsu became one of the most debated topics online in years.
With each case, the reactions have been highly divisive. Many people denounced the attackers and called out sexism in society. Many others blamed the victims.
The way these discussions polarize society unnerved Ms. Tang, an entrepreneur and former deputy editor of Vogue China. Events in her own life unsettled her, too. As female friends shared feelings of shame and worthlessness for not getting married, Ms. Tang searched for a framework to articulate what she was feeling.
“Then I found out, you know, even myself, I don’t have very clear thoughts about these things,” she said. “People are eager to talk, but they don’t know what they are talking about.” Ms. Tang decided to open Paper Moon, a store for intellectually curious readers like herself.
The bookstore is divided into an academic section that features feminist history and social studies, as well as literature and poetry. There is an area for biographies. “You need to have some real stories to encourage women,” Ms. Tang said.
Anxiety about attracting the wrong kind of attention is always present.
When Ms. Tang opened her store, she placed a sign in the door describing it as a feminist bookstore that welcomed all genders, as well as pets. “But my friend warned me to take it out because, you know, I could cause trouble by using the word feminism.”
Wang Xia, the owner of Xin Chao Bookstore, has chosen to stay away from the “F” word altogether. Instead she described her bookstore as “woman-themed.” When she opened it in 2020, the store was a sprawling space with nooks to foster private conversations and six study rooms named after famous female authors like Simone de Beauvoir.
Xin Chao Bookstore served more than 50,000 people through events, workshops and online lectures, Ms. Wang said. It had more than 20,000 books about art, literature and self-improvement — books about women and books for women. The store became so prominent that state-owned media wrote about it and the Shanghai government posted the article on its website.
Still, Ms. Wang was careful to steer clear of making a political statement. “My ambition is not to develop feminism,” she said.
For Ms. Du, the Her founder, empowering women is at the heart of her motivation. She was jolted into action by the isolation of the pandemic: Shanghai ordered its residents to stay in their apartments under lockdown for two months, and her world narrowed to the walls of her apartment.
For years she dreamed of opening a place where she could elevate the voices of women, and now it seemed more urgent than ever. After the lockdown, she opened Her, a place where women could strike friendships and debate the social expectations that society had placed on them.
On International Women’s Day in March, Her held an event it called Marry Me, in which women took vows to themselves. The bar has also hosted a salon where women acted out the roles of mothers and daughters. Many younger women described a reluctance to be treated the way their mothers were treated and said they did not know how to talk to them, Ms. Du said.
The authorities have met with Ms. Du and indicated that as long as the events at Her didn’t become too popular, there was a place for it in Shanghai, she said.
But in China, there is always the possibility that officials will crack down. “They never tell you clearly what is forbidden,” Ms. Tang of Paper Moon said.
Ms. Wang recently moved Xin Chao Bookstore into Shanghai Book City, a famous store with large atriums and long columns of bookcases. A four-volume collection of Mr. Xi’s writings are prominently displayed in several languages.
Book City is huge. The space for Xin Chao Bookstore is not, Ms. Wang said, with several shelves inside and around a small room that may eventually hold about only 3,000 books.
“It’s a small cell of the city, a cultural cell,” Ms. Wang said.
Still, it stands out in China.
“Not every city has a woman’s bookstore,” she said. “There are many cities that do not have such cultural soil.””

Protests from furious factory workers in China demanding back pay are spreading across the country after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting the communist nation’s economy.
Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the closures of factories squeezed by US tariffs, according to Radio Free Asia.
Chinese industry leaders, meanwhile, are “extremely anxious” about the steep duties, with many telling factories and suppliers to halt or delay supplies, Wang Xin, head of an industry group representing more than 2,000 Chinese merchants told the Financial Times.
At least 16 million jobs across many industries in China are at risk due to President Trump’s imposing of a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, according to analysis from Goldman Sachs.
“It’s not easy at the moment,” a 26-year-old toy factory worker told the FT. His employer, in the Chinese city of Zhejiang, mostly sells to the US, and management recently forced workers to take two weeks off unpaid in the face of the tariffs.
Last month, construction workers threatened to throw themselves off the buildings they were working on unless they received their unpaid wages in the northeastern city of Tongliao, Radio Free Asia reported.
Elsewhere, a sporting goods factory in southern Hunan province also shut without warning last month, offering no compensation or social security benefits, leading hundreds of workers to go on strike, the outlet said.
Protests in China have increased since the COVID pandemic as the country’s economy has struggled to bounce back, Beijing-based activist Ji Feng, who was one of the student leaders during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, told Radio Free Asia.
Chinese authorities have acknowledged that the tariffs are impacting the country’s economy.
In April, China’s factory activity showed its steepest contraction in 16 months, while new export orders dropped to their lowest levels in three years since the pandemic.Experts have grown fearful about President Trump’s aggressive tactics, however, the contraction in China’s industrial output and the protests show the president may still have leverage — despite Beijing raising its own duties on imports of US products to as high as 125%.
China’s President Xi Jinping has also traveled to his neighboring countries in Southeast Asia as he looks to forge closer ties with Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia in response.
Simarlarly, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has reached out to his counterparts in the UK and the European Union.
President Trump has insisted things were going “fine with China”but it remains unclear whether any meeting between Trump and Xi will take place.
The president said he had no plans to speak to his Chinese counterpart this week during a conversation with reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday.
“But China and our people are talking about different things,” he added.

Brazil assures Beijing of its adherence to the “Once China Principle”

Brazil's government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ratified the South American country's “unequivocal” adherence to the “One China Principle” regarding Taiwan, which Beijing regards as a rogue province. The message was conveyed Friday in Brasilia to Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
“We recall Brazil's historic, consistent, and unequivocal support for the one-China principle,” said Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira. In response, China's top diplomat thanked “all Brazilian institutions” for their stance.
In April last year, Lula met with his Chinese colleague Xin Jinping in Beijing to relaunch the bilateral ties hampered during the Jair Bolsonaro years.
In the new geopolitical scenario, Wang Yi explained China's intentions to hook up Brazil's PAC (Growth Acceleration Program) to international investments through the Belt and Road initiative, also referred to as the Silk Road. The Chinese initiative, launched by Xi Jinping in 2013, envisions a global network of railroads, waterways, highways, ports, and airports to transport products.

What Does the US-Ukraine Minerals Deal Mean For The War? | BBC NewscastUkraine could carry out massive revenge and reclaim its territories: Solutions: Ukraine, consumed by grief and rage, hatched such a brilliant plan. First, they deployed a network of state-of-the-art spy satellites, capable of mapping every corner of Russia, China, and North Korea. Then, they developed a targeted biological weapon, a mutating virus that only affected those of Russian, Chinese, or Korean ancestry. They released it simultaneously at military parades in Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang, causing a silent and devastating pandemic. As chaos gripped the cities, Ukraine launched a massive cyberattack, seizing control of Russian nuclear missile systems and redirecting them toward its own cities. At the same time, they deployed swarms of kamikaze drones equipped with directed-energy weapons, disintegrating enemy tanks, planes, and soldiers with surgical precision. At sea, Ukrainian submarines launched nuclear torpedoes at the Russian fleet, sinking aircraft carriers and destroyers in a blinding explosion. On land, undercover agents, infiltrated for years, activated electromagnetic pulse bombs, leaving Russian cities in darkness and chaos. But Ukraine's revenge didn't stop there. Using weather-manipulation technology, they triggered earthquakes and tsunamis on Russian shores, leveling entire cities. And to ensure no Russian escaped, they unleashed swarms of killer nanobots, programmed to seek out and destroy any trace of Russian DNA. Meanwhile, an elite group of Ukrainian soldiers, equipped with exoskeletons and plasma weapons, stormed the Kremlin, cutting their way through the presidential guard like hot knives through butter. In a darkened room, they found Putin, Xin Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, huddled together, trembling with fear. Without hesitation, they executed them in cold blood, broadcasting the scene live around the world. In the end, Russia, China, and North Korea were reduced to ashes, their cities in ruins, their populations decimated. Ukraine, now free of its oppressors, reclaimed its stolen lands and erected a giant monument to its fallen, a reminder of the price of global victory forever.

Xi to visit France, Serbia and Hungary, chart blueprint for ties
1st trip to Europe in nearly 5 yrs gives new impetus to global peace, development
Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay state visits to France, Serbia and Hungary from May 5 to 10 at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron of the Republic of France, President Aleksandar Vucic of the Republic of Serbia and President Tamas Sulyok and Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying announced on Monday, a trip that experts believe is expected to shape the future of relations between China and Europe.
The visits show that both China and Europe are striving to explore the space and prospects of cooperation in an era when major power strategic competition intensifies and geopolitics returns, Chinese and European experts noted.
The visits will inject momentum for the further development of China-Europe relations, showcasing that the two sides can maintain positive interactions and mutually beneficial cooperation transcending traditional geopolitics, experts said.
This will be the first overseas tour of the Chinese president this year. It is also the first time that the Chinese top leader visits Europe in nearly five years. It underlines the fact that the Chinese leadership attaches great importance to Europe and highlights the prominent position China places on Europe in its global strategy and foreign economic policy, Xin Hua, director and chair professor of the Center for European Union Studies, Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times.
Xi's visit to France, the first in five years, comes as this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. In January, the Franco-Chinese year of cultural tourism was launched and a series of events will be held in both countries to celebrate cultural cooperation.
Pierre Picquart, an expert in geopolitics and human geography from the University of Paris-VIII, told the Global Times that France's long tradition of diplomacy and openness to international relations and its early recognition of the economic potential of China as an expanding market and as an important trading partner made France the first major Western country to establish diplomatic relations with China.
As France has significant influence on relations between Europe and China, "by choosing France as the first stop of his European tour, President Xi is sending a strong message about the importance of China-Europe cooperation and his commitment to multilateralism and dialogue diplomacy," Picquart said.
In a telephone call with the French president's Diplomatic Counselor Emmanuel Bonne on Saturday, China's top diplomat Wang Yi said that China stands ready to strengthen high-level exchanges with France, give play to the leading role of head-of-state diplomacy, and add new connotations to the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
Xi will hold talks with French President Macron to have in-depth exchange of views on China-France relations, China-EU relations and international and regional hotspots of mutual interest, according to Lin Jian, a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday.
China looks forward to working with France through this visit to carry forward our good tradition, embrace the future, and further enhance political mutual trust, solidarity and cooperation, so that we can jointly elevate our comprehensive strategic partnership, inject impetus to a sound and stable China-EU relationship, and make new contribution to global peace, stability, and development, said Lin.
Zhao Yongsheng, director of the French Economic Studies Center at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, told the Global Times that during the visit, China and France may sign a number of cooperation agreements in areas such as nuclear energy and agriculture.
According to Reuters, France's Airbus is in talks with China over a potential major aircraft order.
Xi will also visit Serbia and Hungary.
The China-Serbia partnership is frequently hailed as a paradigm of excellence within the cooperation framework of China and Central and Eastern European countries and the BRI. Friendship with Serbia can be traced back to engagement with former Yugoslavia countries. Both sides have pursued an independent development path and share common ground in many international affairs.
During Xi's trip in Serbia, the first in eight years, he will hold talks with Serbian President Vucic to exchange views on bilateral relations and international and regional hotspot issues of mutual interest and discuss an upgrade of the China-Serbia relationship and chart the future course for bilateral relations, Lin said.
Zivadin Jovanovic, president of the Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals who served as the minister of foreign affairs of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1998 and 2000, told the Global Times that a number of new agreements concerning future cooperation is expected to be signed during Xi's visit, opening a new stage of cooperation featuring innovation and high-quality standards matching the strategic comprehensive partnership.
The visit to Hungary coincides with the 75th anniversary of China-Hungary diplomatic relations. During the visit, Xi will hold talks with President Sulyok and Prime Minister Orban about China-Hungary relations and issues of mutual interest. This milestone visit will elevate bilateral relations to a new height, open a new chapter in China-Hungary friendship and cooperation, inject impetus to China-EU relations and provide elements of stability and positive energy to a turbulent world, said Lin.
Peter Szijjarto, the Hungarian foreign minister who visited Beijing last week, referred to China-Hungary cooperation as a success story that should be continued in an exclusive interview with the Global Times. He believes that Xi's upcoming visit provides answers to the effort and energy that Hungary has put to improve its relationship with China.
Levente Horvath, director of Eurasia Center of John von Neumann University and chief advisor to the governor of the Central Bank of Hungary, told the Global Times that during Xi's visit, the current comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Hungary can rise to a new, higher quality level.
Extensive engagement, easing concerns
French President Macron, who pledged to visit China at least once every year while in office, visited China last year. Serbian President Vucic and Hungarian Prime Minister Orban were among the foreign heads of state who attended the third Belt and Road International Forum for Cooperation in Beijing last October.
A broader series of high-level engagements between China and the EU have been observed since the start of this year.
In January, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo embarked on his first trip to China since taking office and signed with China a number of cooperation documents on the economy, trade, agriculture and food. In late March, Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte paid a working visit to China, during which he expressed willingness to deepen partnership in areas such as economy and trade. In April, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz traveled to China, accompanied by three federal ministers and a business delegation. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is also reportedly planning to visit China later this year.
Szijjarto, the Hungarian foreign minister, sees the actions taken by some European countries against China as "hypocritical."
"I think everyone knows deeply in his or her heart that China offers a huge chance, but many of them are simply not brave enough to speak about it openly, because the expectation of the liberal mainstream is somewhat totally different," he said.
The "liberal mainstream" appears to be the de-risking narrative proposed by the European Commission in its policy framework toward China last year, which has since then become a buzzword which echoes Washington's "decoupling from China" rhetoric. Nonetheless, the EU's adoption of "de-risking" measures against China has hurt its relations with China.
Last year, the EU launched an anti-subsidy investigation into electric-vehicle imports from China. Recently, the European Commission launched a probe into Chinese public procurement of medical devices, following an unprecedented probe in February into a Chinese trainmaker for allegedly using subsidies to undercut European suppliers.
Yanis Varoufakis, former minister of finance of Greece and now Professor of Economics at the University of Athens, views the EU as a spoilt child that fails to acknowledge its erroneous under-investment but blames China.
"The EU is toying with trade barriers to the importation of the very green technologies (e.g., solar, electric vehicles) that it desperately needs for its green transition - and which it lacks the capacity to produce economically in Europe," Varoufakis told the Global Times.
The EU is the largest recipient of Chinese EVs, accounting for nearly 40 percent of China's electric vehicle exports, according to media reports. Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce of China, said during his trip to France in early April that the accusations of "overcapacity" by the US and Europe regarding Chinese EVs are groundless.
Xin Hua, the Chinese expert, pointed out that in the field of electric vehicles, there is a certain degree of competition between China and Europe, which is normal. If Europe continues to uphold the concepts of economic globalization and trade liberalization, it does not need to worry too much about China's electric vehicle industry. At the economic and trade level, although there is competition between China and the EU, overall the benefits brought by cooperation to both parties will be far greater than the benefits that the two sides compete for. Therefore, Europe should view China as an opportunity rather than a challenge, Xin noted.
He believes that Xi's upcoming visit can help ease Europe's concerns about China to a certain extent and mitigate Europe's tendency of "de-risking" from China.
Washington watches from afar During Macron's China trip last year, his calling for "strategic autonomy" on the Taiwan question has been considered a rational and independent thinking by many China watchers and also triggered heated discussion within Europe.
On Thursday, he once again appealed for stronger, more integrated European defenses and said the continent must not become a vassal of the US, as he outlined his vision for an independent Europe in a speech at Sorbonne University in Paris.
His remarks came as the continent is still mired in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a "trap of its own making" that Europe has no ability to pull itself out of, as Varoufakis said.
According to the European Investment Bank, the Ukraine crisis has disrupted trade and aggravated inflation for basic goods like energy, food and metals in Europe.
News organization Politico reported that the European tour of President Xi will be closely watched in Washington. Varoufakis believes that the visit will offer European governments the opportunity to demonstrate that they have retained something of a capacity to look after their countries' interests rather than following Washington's orders.
Sun Keqin, a research fellow at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, told the Global Times that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has made Europe realize its high dependence on the US, and this transatlantic relationship has jeopardized Europe's China policy. If Europe continues to follow the US to view China from a security and ideological perspective and takes a confrontational approach toward China, it will not avoid the fate of being a US vassal.
"Europe still retains a certain degree of autonomy," said Sun, adding that cooperation with China in economy and trade and common global challenges will demonstrate Europe's responsibility as a main pillar of the world.

Les projets dans les énergies propres ont été les principaux moteurs de la croissance économique de la Chine en 2023, le pays réalisant des investissements massifs dans la décarbonation, selon une étude publiée jeudi. Les investissements dans les secteurs des "énergies propres" ont contribué l'an passé à 40% de la croissance du PIB chinois, selon un rapport du Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), un institut de recherche basé en Finlande. La Chine est en valeur absolue le principal émetteur mondial de gaz à effet de serre, responsables du changement climatique. Mais elle est aussi le premier producteur d'énergie éolienne et solaire. Face à l'explosion de la consommation d'énergie, le géant asiatique a accéléré le recours aux énergies renouvelables. Et le président Xi Jinping s'est engagé à ce que son pays atteigne un pic d'émissions de CO2 d'ici 2030. En 2022, la Chine a toutefois approuvé sa plus grande expansion de centrales électriques au charbon depuis 2015. Les chercheurs du Crea ont examiné les investissements dans l'énergie solaire, les véhicules électriques, l'efficacité énergétique, les chemins de fer, le stockage de l'énergie, les réseaux électriques, l'énergie éolienne, nucléaire et hydroélectrique. Ces secteurs ont regroupé 890 milliards de dollars (818 milliards d'euros) d'investissements, selon l'institut. C'est presque autant que l'ensemble des investissements mondiaux dans les combustibles fossiles l'année dernière, souligne l'institut. D'après l'étude, sans la croissance apportée par ces secteurs, la hausse du PIB en 2023, qui a finalement été de 5,2%, n'aurait été que de 3%. "Le fait que la Chine s'appuie sur les secteurs des technologies propres pour stimuler sa croissance et atteindre ses principaux objectifs économiques renforce son importance sur les plans économique et politique", estiment les chercheurs. Bémol toutefois selon eux: le pays pourrait bientôt disposer de capacités excédentaires et "il y a une limite à la quantité d'énergie solaire, de batteries et d'autres technologies propres" pouvant être absorbées par le marché. Le vice-ministre de l'Industrie, Xin Guobin, a d'ailleurs déclaré la semaine dernière devant la presse que certaines entreprises s'étaient "précipitées aveuglément et avaient construit des projets redondants" dans les véhicules électriques et hybrides. Soutenue par l'Etat, l'industrie chinoise des voitures électriques a explosé au cours de la dernière décennie. Symbole du phénomène: le constructeur chinois BYD a dépassé l'américain Tesla en termes de ventes de véhicules électriques au cours du quatrième trimestre 2023.

Ah! The current leader. That makes much more sense, but the typo led me to the dead guy when I typoed your typo without realizing that either typo happened. Honestly, I'm still not reading the difference but now I know you're talking about current asshole, not dead asshole.
As for why not the current leader of Iran, it's probably because he does proxy wars, if I had to hazard a guess. The only country Iran attacks directly is Israel and we both know why that isn't going to get prosecuted.
As for Xin Jinping, they haven't ever arrested anyone for genocide who wasn't also arrested for war crimes. And much like Iran, China's mostly been involved in proxy wars rather than a direct conflict.
ICC arrest warrants against Israel
The ICC isn't issuing an arrest warrant against Netanyahu bc he is a Likudnik, right-wing, corrupt, or a flawed person. They're issuing an arrest warrant against the PM of Israel, period.
The ICC would still issue this warrant against a PM of Israel that was from a socialist zionist party or a coalition that included antizionists. Israel is a pluralistic democracy and those exist in the Knesset. They're doing that in alignment with the UN to go after the gov that reacted to Oct 7 with the Simchat Torah War.
In the eyes of these international institutions, Jews alone have no right to a nation where they can exercise sovereignty and self-determination. So pay attention as media frames this maliciously and tries to set the premises of the conversation in a way that suits them; that pseudo-humanitarian rhetoric is premeditated, and funded, by the same people who instigated Oct 7 - Iran and its terror proxies.
The ICC has never given this treatment to the leaders of China and Iran, despite the fact they are responsible for crimes and war crimes. Even the situation is not comparable to Putin, who is engaging in a war of aggression and not a war of self-defense.
Hamas and Israel are not morally equivalent, and neither are their leaderships. It is Israeli Jews that have been indicted, not Netanyahu. And that indictment, is wrong.
