    agree..."bloody battles" refers 2 past “在外来侵 寇急祸重的严峻形势下...浴血奋战，打败了一切穷凶极恶的侵略者“ & “近代以来...中国人民百折不挠、坚忍不拔，以同敌人血战到底的气概、在自力更生的基础上光复旧物的决心、自立于世界民族之林的能力，为实现这个伟大梦想进行了170多年的持续奋斗。“

    3. By my count Chinese equivalent of 'bloody battles' came up twice in Xi speech, first in the paragraph about 'the Chinese people's great spirit of solidarity', describing how Chinese people fought against foreign aggressors in modern Chinese history: past tense.

    China has reached peak bike. No room for another bike share service, say city govts. Climbing through a maze of parked bikes to find footpath each day after crossing road, would tend to agree.

    Two major Chinese cities reject applications by Didi to start bicycle-sharing service
