So some two-bit dissidents retired footballer and some exiled businessmen came up with a bullshit "New Federal State of China" manifesto during June 4th. It's not worth a post to acknowledge them. But I am partial to their bullshit nation anthem, so there you go.

This basically the Chinese answer to creating their own version of the annoying LaRouche weirdos in the US.

To quote a suburban hot dog necked fat white dude with Oakley sunglasses after hearing about a black guy being murdered by police, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

But you’re quoting and endorsing him in this case? I’d say it’s definitely a bad sign that they’re somehow flagging what should be a private password as antisocial.

I need a security perimeter with Venetian blinds.
China really really loves point-based decision systems, so that is entirely plausible.

As is some sort of flagging system, of course.

A bunch of people on reddit said they changed their Wechat password to the same thing and didn't get blocked.

It's more likely that her account already had some sort of flag on it, and the act of changing the password (versus the content of the new password) triggered the block based on the existing flag.

It's more likely that she made up the story. We're kind of in a cold war, and stories about the other side get made up more often than earth shattering infosec stories. If other people can't replicate this event with the same password, that seals the deal.Occams razor. She could be someone running an op.

Aren't offensive words some of the most commonly used passwords? Like people think just because a word is rarely spoken aloud, then no one else will think of it as a password. I think just on a technical level banning language like that in passwords would be hard to enforce. You'd end banning a whole bunch of people who otherwise are normal.

imo websites and apps should not protect people from their own stupidity re: passwords. if you want to make your password 1234 or swordfish or whatever then god bless you and good luck

however even taking the dumb lady’s story 100% at face value, making an edgy password for internet cred and then tweeting about it is dumb.

it is a scenario where everyone involved is dumb, and/or she is making it up, and nobody cares either way.

That doesn't make sense, why make up a story that anyone can verify this easily? Only to further validate something which everyone knew, that WeChat is ideologically moderated and insecure.

this balk convo is really boring

are there any sources on the Gung Ho Industrial cooperatives? like how well developed is the non state coop sector?

or how does the NPC function or issues get solved on the local level?

How is the 5 year plan created?

A lot of the minority peoples effectively governed themselves under local chieftains with basically no intervention from the Han until the gaitu guiliu in the 18th century, when power was centralized and Han colonization of these areas began in earnest. You should definitely consider Guizhou and maybe Guangxi too though, as you say.
