China stooge insensitively hawks Wuhan pool party 'normalcy' as world reels; hammered
As Coronavirus continues to claim lives across the world, China's Wuhan-the epicentre of the virus seems to have returned to normalcy with its lively nightlife
As the Coronavirus continues to claim lives across the world in the thousands, China's Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus, seems to have returned to normalcy with lively nightlife. In a video shared by the Editor of China's state-sponsored media, Global Times shows that people in Wuhan are enjoying Pool parties, nightclubs and night snacks at food stalls. Surprisingly in the video, none of the people were seen wearing masks or following the Covid-19 protocols put in place to contain the virus spread.
The Chinese stooge's video comes at the time when the Communist nation continues to face global scrutiny over the origins of the Coronavirus pandemic and China's role in keeping it hidden during its early stages. There have been endless suspicions on whether China even released the official figures of the virus, with experts rubbishing its 'official' numbers.
Netizens react to the nightlife video
The video faced a heavy backlash from the netizens. Some of the netizens were even left wondering about the situation being 'so normal' in China after the virus spread.
"See, this is their real character. After giving the #WuhanVirus to the world and the death of 844 K people around the world, what they are showcasing, a party video. Many professionals lost the job, kids are suffering and the #liarchina has backstabbed the world !! #shameonchina," said a user.
"Can't understand how the situation become so normal in china especially at epicenter of virus while whole world is suffering including USA/India. World organisation should unite and start investigation, seems like planned bio-weapon of china on other country !!" said another user.
China faces global flak over Coronavirus
Amid heavy opposition from China over the virus spread, the WHO on June 18 at the World Health Assembly agreed to the resolution signed by 123 member countries including all the member countries of the European Union, 50 African nations and India amongst others, seeking an independent investigation into the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apart from this, China's expansionist tactics, at a time when the world is reeling under the effects of the coronavirus, have also faced serious criticism with countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and India hitting back at China over its monopoly of the South China sea, its atrocities in Hong Kong or its attempts to infiltrate the LAC.
