Chinese comedians living abroad are winning fans. But some topics are off limits

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:22 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Comedian Xi Diao says he knows he should avoid talking politics on stage, but sharing a family name with Chinese President Xi Jinping makes it hard to resist.Even his name is politically sensitive, the Melbourne-based amateur comedian tells audiences, setting up a joke about a group chat on the Chinese messaging service WeChat being shut down as soon as he joined it. The 33-year-old civil engineer gets nervous laughs whenever he breaks a de facto rule of Chinese comedy: Don’t say anything that makes China look bad. To most comedians, that means no jokes about censorship, no mentioning the president’s name, and no discussion of China’s extraordinarily strict COVID lockdowns or social topics like domestic violence.“It is a pity, if the environment were open, there would be somebody world-class coming up,” Xi said.Mandarin-language standup comedy is growing, and not just in China. The medium has taken off in the last decade, and China’s expatriate population has...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:22 GMT

Police in Nepal have arrested 10 people for allegedly scamming unemployed young men into joining the Russian army.The suspects charged people up to $9,000 for “tourist visas” and sent them to Russia through third countries, mainly the United Arab Emirates, Kathmandu District Police chief Bhupendra Khatri told Reuters. They were then recruited to the Russian army, the official said, adding that it amounted to human trafficking.Nepalese authorities had earlier asked Russia not to recruit its citizens to fight in Ukraine, as at least six Nepalis have already been killed, Kathmandu Post reported this week.On Monday, Ukrainian military reporter Andriy Tsaplienko published a video of five Russian prisoners of war captured by the Ukrainian army, taken in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. In the video, all of them identify themselves and say they are all serving in the Russian 70th Motorized Rifle Regiment. While three are from Dagestan and other parts of Russia, one prisoner says he is fro...

China rejects EU’s trade deficit complaint

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:22 GMT

BRUSSELS — Beijing has rebuffed a complaint by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen over the EU’s trade deficit against China, a day before her summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.The EU bears responsibility for the trade imbalance as it’s stopped businesses from exporting to China, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Wednesday, responding to von der Leyen’s call on China to open up access to its market.“If the EU on the one hand imposes harsh restrictions on high-tech exports, and on the other hopes to sharply increase exports to China, that I’m afraid doesn’t make sense,” Wang told a regular press conference.Wang’s comment appeared to refer to restrictions on exports of the most advanced lithography tools, made by Dutch market leader ASML, that are used to print the most powerful computer chips.He added that part of the profits generated from Chinese trade surpluses are earned by European comp...

Snowy Scene For Some

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:22 GMT

Before you get the snow, you need the cold, and temps this morning are cold enough to support snow across many locations. Moisture is limited away from the coast, so patchy light snow showers/flurries are present there, but other than spotty light dustings of snow, not much is falling. Close to the coast, close to an inch of snow fell overnight across Cape Ann and heavier and steadier bursts of snow have dropped even more across parts of Plymouth County. That is where the focus of the falling snow will be for the morning commute, as we’ll see snow covered untreated roads and reduced visibility at times. Snow continues across Plymouth County and parts of the Cape through mid to late morning, before drying out this afternoon. Many locations east of Route 24 to Route 3 will pick up 1-2″ of snow with isolated pockets of 3″ in a few towns. Even the western Cape picks up a coating to a couple inches. It’ll be dry and cold this afternoon with highs in the 30s. We...

(CNN) — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that before publicly releasing footage of the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, the faces of the mob will be blurred to protect them from the Justice Department.The Louisiana Republican said during a news conference that he wants to make sure rioters don’t get prosecuted.“We’re going through a methodical process of releasing them as quickly as we can,” Johnson said. “As you know, we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ and to have other, you know, concerns and problems.”He added: “So that’s a slow process to get it done.”Federal investigators and prosecutors already have footage from the Capitol’s security cameras and have used it to charge and prosecute members of the mob that day.But online sleuths and individuals from the public have previously helped to identify many people from images take...
