Man Dumps Girlfriend After Her Phone Automatically Connects To Hotel Wi-Fi
As per Ms Li, she and her now ex-boyfriend went to a hotel in southwestern China's Chongqing during the May Day holiday when the incident took place. As the couple was attempting to check in, Ms Li could not find her physical ID card and attempted to download her digital identity card. It was then that both of them noticed Ms Li's phone had automatically connected to the hotel's network.
The man quizzed Ms Li if she had been to the hotel with someone else before. Ms Li replied that it was her first time at the hotel, but could not explain why her phone automatically connected to the Wi-fi. As the argument intensified between the couple, the man ditched Ms Li, thinking she had cheated on her.
A heartbroken Ms Li confided in her friends, who also could not believe the reason for the breakup. Feeling insulted, Ms Li started looking for a reason for the wi-fi's connection to prove her innocence.
Li seeks vindication
After some research, Ms Li realised that another hotel in Chongqing, where she used to work, offered Wi-fi with the same username and password.
Armed with the answer, Ms Li contacted the angry ex-boyfriend to explain the situation, but he refused to talk to her and deleted her account on a chat app.
In an attempt to clear her name, Ms Li contacted a local news channel to explain her side of the story. To test the theory, a TV reporter went to Li's former workplace and connected to Wi-fi at the reception desk and later went to the hotel where she and her ex-boyfriend had visited.
As it turned out, the reporter's Wi-fi also automatically connected to the hotel Wi-fi, further vindicating Ms Li. She added that she did not intend to get back together with the man who does not trust her.

‘He Didn't Speak, He Barked': Shocking Case Of Neglected Thai Boy Goes Viral
The situation came to light when a school principal and a child rights activist raised concerns about the boy's condition. An eight-year-old boy in Thailand was found living alone with six dogs after being abandoned by his family for years. With no one else around him, the child learned to bark like the dogs. He had no access to school, social life or basic care. The situation came to light when a school principal and a child rights activist raised concerns about the boy's condition. According to a report in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the boy had been out of school for two years. But his mother had continued receiving a government education subsidy of about 400 baht (approximately Rs 1,050) meant to support his schooling. The funds were reportedly never used to enrol him in classes. According to neighbours, the boy's 46-year-old mother would often go out to beg for food and money in nearby villages and temples. She would leave the child alone at home, a small wooden house in Uttaradit province, northern Thailand. His only companions during this time were the six dogs kept by the family. Authorities visited the house after the school principal reached out to activist and politician Paveena Hongsakul. The home, built on stilts, was in very poor condition. Inside the house, police found the boy with his mother and his 23-year-old brother. Both adults tested positive for drug use. The child had been left alone and not looked after. 'He didn't speak, he just barked. It was pitiful to see," said Paveena, who is also the president of the Paveena Hongsakul Foundation for Children and Women. She led the rescue operation with local police. Officials said the boy had never attended kindergarten. He had once visited school at the age of Grade 1, but was never sent back. 'His mother hasn't allowed him to go to school since he received a subsidy for free education. After getting the money, she simply kept him at home," Paveena said. People in the neighbourhood also avoided letting their children play with the boy. They said they were disturbed by the family's behaviour. Without human contact, the child grew close to the dogs and started mimicking them. Barking became his way of communication. 'The house is in a red zone for drugs. The boy had no one, just the dogs to play with," said a local teacher as quoted by SCMP. The boy's mother and brother have now been charged with drug use and taken in for treatment. The child has been moved to a nearby children's shelter. Paveena's foundation is working with officials to make sure he gets proper schooling and long-term care.

Beijing Reacts To Arrest Of 2 Chinese "Spies" In US For Espionage
Beijing: Beijing opposed the "hyping up the so-called Chinese spies" narrative after two Chinese nationals were arrested in the United States for espionage and for allegedly seeking to recruit members of the US Navy to serve as intelligence assets for China. Asked about the case, China's foreign ministry said it did not know the specifics of the case but would take necessary measures to safeguard Chinese citizens' legitimate rights. "I am not aware of the specifics, but we have always opposed unfounded hype about the so-called 'Chinese spies' narrative.

They face charges of acting as agents of the Chinese government and a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted, the Justice Department said Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, Chen and Lai carried out a number of intelligence activities in the United States on behalf of China's Ministry of State Security. The suspects facilitated a "dead-drop payment" of at least $10,000 in a locker at a recreational facility in Northern California in 2022 in exchange for U.S. national security information that had already been passed to Chinese intelligence. "This case underscores the Chinese government's sustained and aggressive effort to infiltrate our military and undermine our national security from within," Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. According to the criminal complaint, Lai recruited Chen, a legal permanent resident of the United States, to work for the Ministry of State Security in 2021.
