And I don't mean only religious marriage but civil as well.
In Texas, all it takes is 6 months of declaring yourselves as married for Common Law Marriage to be recognized. Nothing else is required.

The Chinese State Media has denounced the US Holocaust Museum with its most popular Twitter mouthpiece Chen Weihua stating "Shame on the Holocaust Museum" when it posted a critical tweet and exhibition regarding the Chinese repression of the Uyghur population. He then had the PRC take credit for the thousands of Jews that were safeguarded in Japanese controlled Shanghai.

Viral Video created by a Chinese Vlogger/TikToker which featured a woman who seemed to be in mental distress as she was found chained in a hut located in rural China.
The Chinese authorities issued two responses when rumors of Human Trafficking arose, the first seeming insufficient.
Xuzhou mother: Video of chained woman in hut outrages China internet
The viral video has prompted demands the authorities intervene to help the mother of eight.www.bbc.com
After initially dismissive the idea of Human Trafficking last month, authorities have now arrested three individuals for Human Trafficking regarding this case.
It gets complicated...
BBC said:
TLDR, a mentally ill woman had been married before with two children, got divorced, returned home, her mental illness worsened and a villager named Ms Sang said she would help her seek treatment and find a husband but "lost" her and never reported her missing to authorities or to her parents who had since DIED.
Ms Sang and her husband were charged with Human Trafficking. The person claiming to be her husband and who reportedly raped eight kids into her has been charged with "illegal detention."
The main reason for such dedicated investigation has apparently been due to public outcry and pressure on authorities to investigate the case in the weak of the initially very superficial investigations and explanations. One topic of the incident has amassed three billion views on Weibo.

that's the kind of thing that gets your country nuked. I mean yes america doesn't have the balls to do it but the russians wouldn't think twice about wiping them off the face of the planet for such fuckery.
I thought that was to humiliate them.

If that was their goal, they've gone around it in the worst possible way. Preventing most foreign nationals from attending, for instance.
A largely Chinese fanned controversy has broiled up between Lithuania and China over China alleging that Lithuania somehow violated China's One China Policy. And while Lithuania insists it hasn't violated China's policy, it hasn't yielded to China's demands that Taiwan not review their diplomatic mission in Lithuania. The Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis reiterated that Taiwan can name their diplomatic mission whatever they want. China, in likely violation of WTO agreements, has already suspended some trade with Lithuania and engaged in the standard 'Wolf Warrior' diplomacy decrying Lithuanians as Nazis and the like.

Here's a video on it from three weeks ago which helps illustrate how long this nontroversy has been going on.
Lithuania won’t back down over Taiwan, says minister in Australia
Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis rejected that Lithuania had breached its ‘One China’ policy, and urged like-minded countries to band together against economic coercion by China and Russia.

China is asshole, that much is clear. Lithuania would be best off if they declared China illegitime, kicked all chinese ambassadors out, and exclusivly talk with Taiwan about all diplomatic necessarities.

Chinese 'space cleaner' throws old satellite away – DW – 02/09/2022

China launches Shiyan-21 satellite to clean up space junk
www.china-arms.com
So, apparently China is cleaning up space junk... and not taking credit for it. Not crowing that they are the only ones taking responsibility for the satellite infrastructure. Hmmm. My thinking is, they are either disposing of potentially embarrassing things they sent up there, or they are practicing so they can snag deactivated foreign spy satellites.
Definitely something embarassing. You think they kept some "technically not a" wmd up there and are now trying to get rid of it?
Or maybe it's something mundane like recovering stuff for recycling and safe-keeping.

Or there's data stored on some of them that they want gone/recovered.

They're definitely hiding something.
When the USSR sent a 23mm autocannon into space with one of their Salute stations and tested it ... the US knew about it and the test results were "this ain't going to work".
The US and USSR kept a lot of things from each other but were never really enemies in anything but a "we have political differences" manner that sometimes aligned to "we're on the same side".
It's because things like this also, by their very nature, double as ASAT weapons.China has a "Space Roomba": the satellite that cleans up Earth's orbit - Royals Blue

Advertising that you have full ASAT abilities in a reusable package, as opposed to a one shot missile, raises different types of international responses.
This also is something that could allow the CCP to 'hijack' sats of other nations, which is a real threat that has few counters besides self-destruct devices, which I doubt many days have.

And the CCP is now handing over money held in escrow.
Handing it to Evergrande, that is.
