The Chinese news site Global Times has posted an article claiming that the “netizens” of China are in a state of uproar over a racist posting by the US Embassy.
The visa office of the US Embassy in China has come under fire on Chinese social media as netizens pointed out its account has compared Chinese student visa applicants to dogs in a controversial post, which some net users said was “pure racism that has hit the lowest of the low.”
The post, published by the visa office on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform, on Wednesday, one day after the US Embassy resumed visa processing for Chinese students, said that “As Spring blossoms, are you the same as the puppy, eager to go out and play?” before informing students about the visa application resumption.
A video of a dog, struggling to jump over a fence that trapped it in a tiny balcony and trying to reach out, was posted along with the words.
These so called netizens say that the Chinese are being compared to dogs. They think it is “blatant racism.”
It should be noted that these netizens are commenters that the CCP agrees with. If they didn’t, the commenters would probably just disappear. So, this is really just a way for China to stir the racism pot from across the pacific.
The CCP has a vested interest in sowing racial division here in the states. TA united America is an unstoppable force. They most likely find it very useful that a few ideas thrown around loosely can tear apart a powerful nation. They just crush or kill anything they deem as an internal threat.
