They are resisting, while the Zhongxiu regime is suppressing: the regime’s rule produces perverts
In mid-April, an incident of voyeurism occurred at Jing’an Temple Station on the Shanghai Metro. A man secretly filmed a girl wearing a high school uniform, uploaded the video online, and accompanied it with extremely vulgar and perverted text. The video quickly spread across the internet, garnering over three hundred likes, and a group of vulgar perverts gathered in the comment section to criticize. The man’s behavior caused great anger among the girl and her parents. The girl’s parents later contacted the man via Douyin, demanding the video be taken down, but they were completely ignored. Afterwards, the man only deleted the insulting caption.
During the rights protection process, the girl’s parents also discovered that the man’s account contained many videos secretly filmed of other women on the subway, with similarly insulting captions. They then reported the account to the platform, requesting it be banned, but the next day they found that only the girl’s video was removed, while other secretly filmed videos remained. The man was extremely arrogant, dismissing their demands to delete the videos with “just ignoring them,” and in an interview, he even brazenly claimed: “I call this skimming the edge for traffic; real videos don’t get views, but with a girl, the traffic is higher.” Only through the relentless efforts of the victim did Shanghai police finally detain the man, Xue, on April 18th, administratively拘留 him and ban his account “A Bus Fan.”
On the surface, the case seemed to have a perfect ending—victims’ rights protected, criminals punished by law, society seemingly restored to order. The Zhongxiu government could stand by the so-called “gender conflicts,” acting as “impartial mediators,” thus further gaining praise. But the reality is far from simple. After the case spread, a baffling detail emerged: why was the legal basis for sanctions against voyeurism actually “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”?
The so-called “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” (寻衅滋事罪) is essentially a pocket crime used by the Zhongxiu government to maintain stability and especially to suppress mass resistance. According to the Zhongxiu Criminal Law, this crime includes four scenarios: (1) arbitrarily assaulting others with malicious intent; (2) chasing, intercepting, insulting, or intimidating others with malicious intent; (3) forcibly taking or destroying public or private property with serious circumstances; (4) causing serious disorder in public places by making trouble. Which of these directly applies to this case? The only tenuous connection is the “public place” and “disorder” clauses related to the man uploading videos and insulting captions. Some right-wing supporters of the Zhongxiu government even praise this as a “wise legal application,” reasoning that: in China, only secretly filming private parts constitutes indecency; citing the Civil Code’s portrait rights can only lead to civil lawsuits, with lighter punishments for offenders. Therefore, invoking “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” is seen as an “ingenious use of law.” In reality, this is the complete opposite—such views are just shameless glorification of the Zhongxiu government.
Using “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” to handle this case is not “skillful legal application,” but a full exposure of the incompetence of the Zhongxiu legal system. The man’s behavior, speech, and video captions fully demonstrate his hooligan nature; his repeated secretly filming women on the subway is classic hooligan conduct. Filming a high school girl in uniform and captioning “This girl is pretty,” besides showing that the man views women solely as objects for voyeuristic pleasure, what other explanation is there? Are the girls in the videos seen as ordinary students going to school, or as commodities and prostitutes for voyeuristic “appreciation”? If defending him, look at the comment section: vulgar language everywhere, even users calling for more people to “appreciate” whether the girl is “really pretty,” with such lewdness that it’s disgusting. The victim girl said that after the video spread, “she became a focal point at school” (“Legal Daily”). Doesn’t this clearly illustrate the serious impact of voyeurism?
Faced with such clear facts, claiming that this has nothing to do with sexual harassment and threats is truly turning black into white. Why invoke “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”? It’s nothing but the Zhongxiu government’s way of silencing the public’s anger by using pocket crimes to “cover up,” especially when there are no specific laws, making it look “quick to respond” and “effective,” while also covering up its own legal flaws and long-standing tolerance and protection of voyeurism and reactionary nature.
First, from the perspective of the people’s legitimate rights, the Zhongxiu government’s legal gap compared to other countries is glaring. In other countries, voyeurism is already explicitly criminalized. For example, South Korea has the “Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes,” which stipulates in Article 14: “Any act of secretly filming or distributing others’ privacy shall be punished with imprisonment of up to five years.” Japan, in 2023, newly enacted the “Photography Crime,” defining it as: “Photography refers to taking pictures of the chest, buttocks, underwear, etc., without legitimate reason and without the knowledge of the subject; violators can be sentenced to up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 3 million yen (not limited to private parts).” In contrast, China, a country with ubiquitous surveillance, has maintained a “legislative vacuum” on this issue. This is not due to “negligence,” but because they simply do not want to confront the problem—legislation would openly acknowledge this as a serious social issue; legislating openly would trigger larger-scale resistance. For those officials who rule over the people and drink their blood, this is absolutely intolerable.
Second, regarding the capitalist patriarchal system behind voyeurism, the Zhongxiu government actively defends and supports it. It must be understood that voyeurism is not just the result of a few perverted individuals or low-level internet celebrities “crazy for fame.” In recent years, the proliferation of voyeurism in China and worldwide has fundamental roots. Imperialism is monopolistic, parasitic, decayed, and dying capitalism. When capitalism enters imperialist stage, social contradictions become sharper than ever, production stagnates, and politics and ideology become thoroughly reactionary. Economically, women find it increasingly difficult to gain independent economic status, and are forced to depend on their husbands at home. Powerlessness in economy and imperialist oppression push women into even more powerless political positions. Based on this, gender oppression gradually becomes a serious social problem. Imperialist countries, to suppress mass resistance, adopt a “divide and conquer” strategy, vigorously maintaining the patriarchal system that allows half the society’s men to oppress the other half—the women. This is the political reason. As gender oppression intensified due to class oppression, in the ideological realm, pornographic ideas became increasingly fascist and widespread. In today’s imperialist society, pornographic ideology has become the core expression of the patriarchal system oppressing women; it influences all classes to varying degrees: making the bourgeois more reactionary; corrupting the petty bourgeoisie; and severely corrupting some proletarians, turning them conservative and backward. Those influenced by pornographic ideas, consciously or not, are engaged in oppressing women. Thus, a fascist male chauvinist group has emerged. Relying on their unequal patriarchal status, they openly use violence against women to satisfy their filthy desires. This forms a complete social picture of male oppression of women. Such a picture is like the “cannibalistic” Confucian society revealed in Lu Xun’s “A Madman’s Diary,” reflecting a patriarchal society that “devours women.”
Voyeurism is precisely a product of such a society. It is the malicious gender oppression inflicted by men influenced heavily by pornographic ideas, relying on patriarchal gender inequality. This behavior is fundamentally violence, continuously humiliating and mentally torturing women! For example, BBC exposed a group secretly operating Japanese voyeuristic porn sites; South Korea recently used Deepfake technology to forge women as “sluts” by fascist male chauvinists; others include perverts secretly filming and uploading pornography in subways, toilets, and other places; and recently, the “Shadow Doesn’t Lie” exposed landlords engaged in voyeurism. These bloody realities reflect the true social status of women, and demonstrate what kind of crime voyeurism is.
However, how does the Zhongxiu government respond to these crimes and the underlying patriarchal system? They not only fail to actively investigate but also cover up and shield these crimes at all levels. On one hand, the Zhongxiu government actually protects these crimes. They not only deliberately avoid enacting specific laws but also always “lightly dismiss” them in judicial and administrative handling. According to public data from Hangzhou Public Security Bureau, in 2023, 16 out of 21 administrative penalties involved obscene or privacy-invading behaviors in subway stations. What were the results? For example: Yao secretly filmed a girl’s skirt with his phone on the escalator and was fined 500 yuan; Chen touched a girl’s body and pressed against her buttocks with his lower body in a subway car and was detained for 12 days; Zhang molested female passengers on the subway for three consecutive days and was detained for 13 days. These results reflect the so-called “gender equality” of the Zhongxiu government! Compared to legislation in South Korea and Japan, who still dares shamelessly to claim “gender equality”? Moreover, any threat to the patriarchal system is suppressed by the Zhongxiu government; meanwhile, content that spreads pornography remains unpunished. For example, the “Shadow Doesn’t Lie,” which exposed voyeuristic filming in guesthouses, was quickly arrested on absurd charges, while the voyeuristic porn site operated by Tang Zhuoran has yet to be caught. Pornographic ads flood the streets, toilets, and hotels; platforms and chat groups are filled with pornographic messages; reporting such sites is nearly impossible, and women’s living space is being squeezed step by step. On the other hand, when women rise up to resist, the Zhongxiu government intentionally fabricates “misunderstandings of men secretly filming,” creating reversed narratives to muddy public opinion, providing attack platforms for fascist male chauvinists, making women even more afraid to expose the truth. In mid-2023, during the women’s anti-voyeurism movement, the Zhongxiu government issued so-called “false accusations of voyeurism”—the June 7 Guangzhou subway incident and the June 11 Chengdu “misunderstanding voyeurism”—and banned 212 accounts on Weibo. Yet, the cases of women truly fighting against gender violence and voyeurism have never been so widely disseminated officially. Everyone can see their true intentions!
From these facts and evidence, it is very clear: the Zhongxiu government does not combat voyeuristic sexual crimes at all; in fact, it can be said they do not combat any sexual crimes. Yet, the people are firmly opposed to such vile and disgusting crimes. In the comment sections alone, many users condemn the man’s behavior, some share their own experiences with voyeurism, saying they confronted the offenders directly after seeing videos posted in owner groups, making them dare not speak; others call for women to bravely resist the industry. In the Zhongxiu society, protests and achievements against voyeurism are entirely won by the masses themselves; it is the people—students, female workers, mothers, and the broad working class—who stand up and fight. When platforms fail, people report; when police remain silent, people speak out; when laws fail, people protest. The so-called “results” now seen are not gifts from the Zhongxiu government but tiny compromises made under the pressure of mass struggle.
From this, it is clear: as the main supporter of gender oppression, the Zhongxiu government not only fails to fight voyeuristic and sexual crimes but also protects and shields criminal gangs, manipulates public opinion to suppress resistance, and even uses state violence to crack down on rights movements. The facts have fully proved: unless the reactionary rule of the Zhongxiu regime is overthrown, sexual crimes can never be fundamentally solved! But before completely overthrowing the old system, we must resolutely support the righteous struggles of the masses, push for the enactment of laws specifically targeting voyeurism, amend outdated sexual crime laws, and significantly increase enforcement. Every struggle must advance the entire movement toward the ultimate goal, not be led into the trap of “making small issues out of big ones” by the Zhongxiu government. Organize and rise up! Only by overthrowing the Zhongxiu regime can women truly stand up, break through the dark cloud overhead, and achieve complete liberation!
