Discuz! is an Internet forum software written in PHP and developed by Comsenz Technology Co., Ltd (Chinese: 康盛创想).[2] It supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. It is the most popular Internet forum program used in China.[3]
Discuz! is free of charge for private uses. A license that allows commercial use costs about 3000 RMB. The software is officially available in Chinese. An English version was also being officially developed, but development stopped due to financial reasons. There are unofficial English and other language versions provided by certain websites.
Based on another Internet forum program called "Asia XMB" in its English version, based on the "XMB forum", Discuz! was developed by Dai Zhikang[4] (Chinese: 戴志康; nickname: Crossday) as "Crossday Bulletin (CDB)" in March 2002. It was renamed "Discuz!" with its 15 October 2002 release. In February 2003, the Comsenz Technology Co., Ltd. was formed.
Since June 2003, there has been a free version as well as a commercial version. With version 6.1.0, the software depends on an existing UCenter installation, which is an interface to join all the Comsenz products in the website. It is a user management software, so information like private messages can be used in all the Comsenz products on the same website. Another innovation is the integration of the Chinese marketing service provider Insenz.[citation needed] In 2006, Discuz! was used by a vast majority of Chinese bulletin board system users.[4] That year, Chen Yupeng published research about the "societal motivation" of Discuz!.[5] Other research has been carried out about Discuz! in the field of education.[6][7][8]
Comsenz was acquired by Tencent in August 2010.[3] Discuz! X 1.0 was developed in 2010, combining with other SNSs, web portals, groups and open platforms produced by the company.

The People's Republic of China is the second most-populous country in the world with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, only surpassed by India. China was the world's most populous country until it was surpassed by India in 2023. In 2025, China's population officially stood at 1.404 billion, which was three million less than the previous year, with the lowest recorded birthrate since at least the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949. China's population has a relatively small youth component, partially a result of the strict enforcement of China's one-child policy that was in effect from 1979 until 2015, which limited urban families to one child and rural families to two. As of 2025, the country's total fertility rate was below 1.0, one of the lowest in the world alongside South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. Since 2022, deaths have outstripped births in the country. According to the 2020 census, 91.11% of the population was Han Chinese, and 8.89% were minorities. China's population growth rate is -0.10%. China conducted its sixth national population census in 2010, and its seventh census was completed in late 2020, with data released in May 2021.
The Economist is a British news and current affairs journal published in a weekly print magazine format and daily on digital platforms. Widely considered a magazine, it refers to itself as a newspaper, and publishes stories on topics that include economics, business, geopolitics, technology and culture. Mostly written and edited in London, it has other editorial offices in the United States and in major cities in continental Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The publication prominently features data journalism, and has a focus on interpretive analysis over original reporting, to both criticism and acclaim. Founded in 1843, The Economist was first circulated by Scottish economist James Wilson to muster support for abolishing the British Corn Laws (1815–1846), a system of import tariffs. Over time, the newspaper's coverage expanded further into political economy and eventually began running articles on current events, finance, commerce, and British politics. Throughout the mid-to-late 20th century, it greatly expanded its layout and format, adding opinion columns, special reports, political cartoons, reader letters, cover stories, art critique, book reviews, and technology features. The paper is recognisable by its fire engine red masthead (nameplate) and illustrated, topical covers. Individual articles are written anonymously, with no byline, in order for the paper to speak as one collective voice. It is supplemented by its sister lifestyle magazine, 1843, and a variety of podcasts, films, and books. It is considered a newspaper of record in the UK. The editorial stance of The Economist primarily revolves around classical, social, and most notably economic liberalism. It has supported radical centrism, favouring policies and governments that maintain centrist politics. The newspaper typically champions economic liberalism, particularly free markets, free trade, free immigration, deregulation, and globalisation. Its extensive use of word play and high subscription price has linked the paper with a high-income elite readership, drawing both positive and negative connotations. In line with this, it claims to have an influential readership of prominent business leaders and policy-makers.
The Hakka (Chinese: 客家), also referred to as Hakka Chinese or Hakka-speaking Chinese, are a Han Chinese sub-ethnic group whose principal settlements and ancestral homes are dispersed widely across the provinces of southern China and who speak a language that is closely related to Gan, a Chinese language spoken in Jiangxi province. They are differentiated from other southern Han Chinese by their dispersed nature and tendency to occupy marginal lands and remote hilly areas. The Chinese characters for Hakka (客家) literally mean "guest families". The Hakka have settled throughout China and their presence is especially prominent in the landlocked border regions of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi. Substantial numbers of Hakka Chinese have migrated overseas to various countries throughout the world. Primarily, Hakka Chinese migrated to Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Others went further still to North and South America, the Caribbean, Mauritius and India. Indeed, Kolkata, Toronto, and Jamaica have a strong Hakka presence today and many maintain Hakka organizations.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
