How many abusive articles are illegal to send text messages?

It has nothing to do with the number of short messages, but with the content of short messages. Generally, swearing by texting may constitute libel, that is, openly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander others. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. It depends on the specific situation. If the circumstances are serious, it is a violation of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law and should be punished accordingly. Considering that abuse mostly occurs among family members, neighbors, colleagues or in daily life, it is a contradiction among the people and has little social harm. In most cases, they can be resolved through mediation and other mitigation measures. In addition, the victim may not want more people to know the fact that he was insulted. If he brings a lawsuit against the victim's will and adopts criminal sanctions to solve it, the effect will be counterproductive. It should be pointed out that "handling after informing" does not mean that it does not constitute a crime without informing, but that it will not prosecute such a crime without informing. Serious harm to social order refers to the situation that the insult has caused the victim to be insane or even commit suicide, and the victim is unable to identify or lose his ability to identify. "Endangering national interests" refers to insulting national leaders, foreign heads of state, diplomatic envoys and other specific objects, which not only damages the victim's personal reputation, but also harms national interests.

Legal basis: Article 246 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) publicly insults others or fabricates facts to slander others by violence or other means. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. The crimes mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be dealt with only if they are told, except those that seriously endanger social order and national interests.
