These remarks and practices are hysterical and almost insane, and are a serious "fear of China" that needs to be properly treated. According to their logic, do German diplomats in China, international students studying in China, and Goethe Institutes also pose a spy risk to China? Some countries carry out large-scale surveillance, reaching deep into their own allies, and there have been reports that they have even detected it

In recent years, in response to some departments being difficult to enter, with unsightly faces, and difficult to handle tasks, some places have creatively set up "impossible to do" windows, focusing on solving "difficult and miscellaneous problems", and have received many positive reviews. However, investigations have found that in some places nowadays, even though the door is easy to enter and the face looks good, some things are still difficult to do, and some "impossible" windows have become "master keys", pushing everything that is difficult to do here.
