A Chinese Communist Party-linked account mocked India’s record-breaking COVID-19 outbreak in a now-deleted post to the nation’s version of Twitter, “Weibo,” CNN reported Monday.
The account, operated by the CCP’s Central Commission for Political and Legal Affairs, posted a photo of a Chinese space exploration rocket blasting off side-by-side with cremation pyres burning in India amid the country’s devastating outbreak of COVID-19.
“China lighting a fire versus India lighting a fire,” the caption reportedly read.
Caption says “China firing up VS India firing up.” This is a Chinese govt Weibo account. The lack of basic decency is just unbelievable. Are some young bureaucrats managing the account? To what extent it reflects the mindset of the younger generation in the CCP? pic.twitter.com/dyS9001du4
