In the first place, China caused the coronavirus to spread to the world.
What a terrible word China does to India.

China has recently been outraged with vile caricatures.
It has been criticized by the international community.
After all, it is a proof that “No matter how big a country it becomes, China’s dignity has not grown at all from the subordinate level.”

Backlash after China Weibo post mocks India Covid crisis
The post on Chinese site Weibo
showed an image of a rocket launch in China alongside a photo of the bodies of Covid victims being cremated in India. Text with it read:
“Lighting a fire in China VS lighting a fire in India.”
The post, which appeared on Saturday afternoon, has since been deleted.
It was reportedly published by an account belonging to an official Chinese law enforcement agency
– the Communist Party’s Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission –
which has millions of followers on Weibo, a popular microblogging site in the country.
Users responding to the post,
which was later shared using screenshots of the original, wrote that it was “inappropriate” and that China “should express sympathy for India”.
Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of China’s Global Times media outlet, wrote:
Hold high the banner of humanitarianism at this time, show sympathy for India, and firmly place Chinese society on a moral high ground.

China Deletes Social Media Posts Mocking India After Backlash
(Bloomberg) –
A social media post by China’s top law enforcement body
juxtaposing the country’s successful launch of a module into space with grim cremation pyres in India
was deleted after it sparked online criticism in China.
Photos of the Tianhe module launch and its fuel burn-off
were compared with what appeared to be a mass outdoor cremation in India,
and captioned “China lighting a fire versus India lighting a fire.”
The post on Saturday by the Communist Party’s Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission on its official Sina Weibo account
was accompanied by a hashtag noting that new Covid-19 cases in India had surpassed 400,000 a day.
Later that day, it could no longer be found.
Many Chinese social media users expressed shock and anger at the insensitivity of the post.
Another deleted post that first appeared Friday compared China’s “fire god mountain” –
the name of the emergency hospital complex built in Wuhan -with a photo of a mass cremation in India on the official Weibo account of China’s Ministry of Public Security.
It too was criticized, with social media users saying it was “morally problematic.”
