First, in the phrase "despicable me", "me" is a noun (a pronoun, actually, but still a noun) and "despicable" is an adjective. So in one sense, yes, it is perfectly grammatically appropriate to place adjectives before nouns ("red firetruck") and by extension it works to place "despicable" before "me".
Second, the sentence as a whole is a fragment. There is no noun performing a verb; there is simply a lone adjective-noun pair, which technically is not enough to form a full, proper English sentence. However, it could be considered an exclamatory sentence, especially in context, so we let it slide.
However, if you wanted to imply the meaning in writing that you were fashionable, unless you were doing so in direct dialogue (as above), you would be better expressing it as I am fashionable or I am in vogue, I am chic... etc.
The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) on July 21 announced an 8 billion RMB ($1.2 billion USD) fine at the conclusion of a year of investigation and scrutiny focused on the Chinese ride-hailing giant DiDi Chuxing.
The CAC effort kicked off on July 2, 2021, with the announcement that DiDi would face review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures. Government scrutiny of DiDi soon broadened, and it reportedly had emerged after the company failed to heed government warnings to delay its listing on a U.S. stock exchange. DiDi's share price dropped drastically, and the company has since delisted.
Translations of the CAC's brief announcement of its decision and administrative punishment, and a longer but less formal set of answers to media questions by an unnamed CAC official, are below. DigiChina contributors have shared their analysis in a DigiChina Forum on implications of these outcomes.
On July 21, according to the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, the Administrative Punishments Law, and other laws and administrative regulations, the Cybersecurity Administration of China fined DiDi Global Inc. 8.026 billion renminbi, and fined DiDi Global Inc. Chairperson and CEO Chng Wi 程维 and President Liǔ Qīng 柳青 1 million renminbi each.
A: In July 2021, in order to safeguard against national data security risks, uphold national security, and safeguard the public interest, and in accordance with the National Security Law and the Cybersecurity Law, the Cybersecurity Review Office implemented a cybersecurity review of DiDi according to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.
According to the results of the cybersecurity review and issues and evidence discovered, the Cyberspace Administration of China lawfully filed a case to investigate suspected violations of law by DiDi. During this time, the Cyberspace Administration of China conducted investigations and inquiries, collected technical evidence, ordered DiDi to submit relevant evidentiary materials, verified and analyzed in depth the evidence and materials in the case, fully heard DiDi's views, and ensured the legitimate interests of DiDi. Upon investigation, DiDi's illegal behavior in violation of the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law is clear, the evidence conclusive, the circumstances grave, and the character despicable. Strict punishment must be given.
Previously, the cybersecurity review also discovered DiDi had data handling activities that seriously affect national security, as well as violations of law and regulations such as refusing to carry out supervising departments' clear requirements, feigning compliance (阳奉阴违), and maliciously evading supervision. DiDi's operations in violation of law and regulations posed serious risks and hidden dangers to national critical information infrastructure security and data security. Because this touches on national security, in accordance with law, it will not be made public.
A: DiDi was established in January 2013, and its relevant domestic lines of service primarily include online ride-hailing, ride-sharing, two-wheeled vehicles, car manufacturing, etc. Relevant products include 41 apps such as the DiDi Chuxing app, the DiDi Driver app, and DiDi Enterprise Edition app.
DiDi has the highest decision-making authority over major matters in each domestic business line, the intra-firm systems and norms it formulates are fully applicable to domestic business lines, and it bears supervision and management responsibilities for implementation conditions. Through the DiDi Information and Data Security Committee and the subordinate Personal Information Protection Committee and Data Security Committee, the company participates in the policymaking guidance, supervision, and management of relevant online ride-hailing, ride-sharing, etc., business line activities. Each business line's illegal activities are concretely carried out under the unified policymaking and deployment of the company. On these grounds, the law-violating subject is identified as DiDi.
A: The administrative punishment of DiDi relevant to this cybersecurity review is special and different from regular administrative punishment. DiDi's activities in violation of laws and regulations were serious, and combined with the cybersecurity review situation, call for the imposition of severe punishment. First, on the character of the illegal activities, DiDi failed to follow provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations and the requirements of supervising departments in carrying out cybersecurity, data security, and personal information protection responsibilities. It disregarded national cybersecurity and data security, and posed serious risks and hidden dangers to national cybersecurity and data security. When instructed by supervising departments to rectify matters, it nonetheless failed to conduct complete and thorough reforms. The character was extremely despicable. Second, on the duration of the illegal activities, DiDi's relevant illegal activities began as early as June 2015 and continued to this day, lasting 7 years. It continued to violate the Cybersecurity Law implemented in June 2016, the Data Security Law implemented in September 2021, and the Personal Information Protection Law implemented in November 2021. Third, on the harm from the illegal activities, DiDi used illegal means to collect user clipboard information, screenshot information from within photo albums, familial relationship information, and other personal information. It seriously violated user privacy and seriously damaged user personal information rights and interests. Fourth, on the scale of illegal handling of personal information, DiDi illegally handled as many as 64.709 billion pieces of personal information. The scale of data was enormous, including many kinds of sensitive personal information such as facial recognition data, precise location information, and national ID numbers. Fifth, on the circumstances of illegal handling of personal information, DiDi's illegal activities entail multiple apps and encompass many kinds of circumstances, including the excess collection of personal information, the forced collection of sensitive personal information, frequent app requests for permissions, failure to fulfill personal information handling notice obligations, and failure to fulfill cybersecurity and data security protection obligations.
In the integrated consideration of the character of DiDi's illegal activities, their duration, their harms, and their circumstances, the main bases for the decision to impose punishment related to the cybersecurity review of DiDi are the relevant provisions of the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, the Administrative Punishments Law, etc.
LILONGWE, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera said he has relayed a message to South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, condemning the "despicable behavior" of Malawian diplomats in South Africa were expelled for abusing diplomatic privileges.
In a special address Sunday evening, three days after the South African government declared Malawi diplomats persona non grata and ordered them to leave within 72 hours for abusing duty-free privileges on alcohol, Chakwera described the behavior of those diplomats as "unfortunate, despicable and unprofessional."
"I assured the president of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, that the conduct of these individuals does not represent the values of my administration and the Malawian people, nor does it reflect the cordial and warm bilateral relations between our two countries," said the Malawi leader.
"In the meantime, I'm pleased to report that even before this unfortunate incident, all the bad apples in the foreign missions had already been served with letters of recall to come back home," Chakwera said, adding that his administration has already identified professionals to replace the "bad apples."
