"Zhao Changpeng thin-muscle" briefly trends on Weibo

A social media topic tied to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, better known as CZ, briefly appeared on Weibo’s trending list on Oct. 8, according to BlockBeats. The phrase "Zhao Changpeng thin-muscle" gained traction as discussion around the so-called "thin-muscle theory" remained highly active on the platform. The report said CZ had posted photos on social media a day earlier to show his fitness results. In that post, he said the images did not use artificial intelligence and had not been edited in post-production, adding that the physique shown was the result of training. After that, some well-known bloggers reposted screenshots of the X post to Weibo and added their own comments, which helped push the topic into broader public discussion. BlockBeats described the item as a crossover social media hot topic rather than a market or product development update.

Jing Tian responds to lawsuit involving Justin Sun, says time will prove everything

Actress Jing Tian said in a post on Weibo that she has never sold, and will not sell, her love for money, and would never sell her soul. In the same statement, she said she still believes in love, acknowledged poor judgment, and added that she believes in the law, in kindness, and in justice and fairness that will eventually arrive. She closed by saying that time will prove everything. Her statement came after Zhang Qihuai, a lawyer representing Justin Sun, released a description of the case facts. According to that statement, Sun has filed a civil lawsuit against Jing Tian and her parents as defendants. The amount involved in the case exceeds 30 million yuan. The case has been formally accepted, and the plaintiff has also applied for property preservation.

Sun Yuchen lawsuit against Jing Tian tops Weibo entertainment trending list

A lawsuit involving TRON founder Sun Yuchen and actress Jing Tian has moved into the public spotlight after the topic "Sun Yuchen sues Jing Tian" reached No. 1 on Weibo's entertainment trending list, according to ChainCatcher. In an earlier report cited by ChainCatcher and attributed to Sina Entertainment, lawyer Zhang Qihuai said Sun had filed a civil lawsuit over a property dispute against Jing, identified in the report as "Jing," along with her parents. The amount in dispute was described as more than 30 million yuan, and the case has been formally accepted by the court. Zhang said the plaintiff had also applied for property preservation measures. After the case was accepted, the defendants raised an objection to the court's jurisdiction in accordance with legal procedure. That objection is still under review, meaning the case has not yet entered the substantive trial stage and there is no final judgment so far. The report added that Zhang is a well-known lawyer in China and has previously worked on several high-profile cases. In a recent Weibo post, he said he would participate in the matter as counsel, though ChainCatcher noted that there has been no confirmation from Sun's side regarding that role.

Tang dynasty denial spreads across Chinese internet, prompting calls to tear down heritage sites

A pseudohistory narrative claiming that the Tang dynasty never existed has spread widely across Chinese social media, drawing official backlash, platform takedowns and concerns about its spillover into AI training data. The claim was traced to a series of videos uploaded to Bilibili by content creator qiao喬於yu between late April and early May 2026. In those videos, the creator argued that the Song dynasties ruled continuously for 800 years and that the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and even the Yuan dynasty were later fabrications. According to the source material, related discussions logged tens of millions of views on Weibo. By mid-August, the Bilibili account had been banned and the videos removed. Chinese state media said large numbers of people had called tourism and culture authorities in Shaanxi, demanding the demolition of Tang-era heritage sites on the grounds that the dynasty was fictitious. Academic scholars pushed back with documentary, cross-cultural and overseas textual evidence, while Hong Kong newspaper Sing Tao Daily warned that repeated circulation of such false claims could contaminate AI training datasets. The episode has since become a case study in how viral falsehoods can move from online traffic incentives into public institutions, education, and machine-generated outputs.
