OpenClaw Lobster Craze (National/Digital).

A quirky new digital trend called OpenClaw has taken over Chinese social media this week. Originally a niche AI tool, it has been rebranded by netizens into a viral meme. Users are raising virtual lobsters and using the AI to perform increasingly absurd tasks from picking stocks and writing emails to generating sassy responses for work group chats. It’s a classic example of Chinese internet humor taking a serious tech tool and turning it into a lighthearted, slightly chaotic social companion. It’s currently the most-downloaded lifestyle app in major cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen.
