Not every miniaturized tree is a 名媛直播. How hard is to comprehend that?

名媛直播 are not miniaturised. They are kept small by pruning and root pruning.

Correct. We can say its a miniaturized image of a regular tree.
With little research I found the following summery text to make it more clear:
Not all plants are equally effective as bonsai. To produce a realistic illusion of a mature tree, look for plants with the following characteristics:
· Small leaves or needles.
· Short internodes, or distances between leaves.
· Attractive bark or roots.
· Branching characteristics for good twig forms.
All parts of the ideal bonsai — trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruits, buds, roots — should be in perfect scale with the size of the tree. Plants used for bonsai should have small leaves, or leaves that become small under bonsai culture. Plants with overly large leaves, such as the avocado, will look out of proportion if chosen for bonsai.

A sapling is kind of in the mini category, it is still not a bonsai even though it is in a pot. Miniaturized anyway... what did they use to achieve it? Some futuristic miniaturizing laser beams?

Miniaturized tree by means of several methods is bonsai. If it looks like an ancient tree it is a bonsai no matter what specimen or how it was achieved. It is not a difficult concept.

Miniaturized simply means it is made to look a mature tree by means of several different methods and materials. That is bonsai.
