It’s hard to understand.Īs the ancients said, “ When there are mourning rites in his neighborhood, one should not accompany his pestle with his voice. With yesterday’s message still ringing in our ears, today an official Weibo account has placed itself outside of this “community,” ruthlessly taunting another country. President Xi said that humanity is a community of shared destiny, and that only when the world stands united will we defeat COVID once and for all that China wants to cooperate further with India in the fight against the pandemic, and to offer support and aid and that he believes that, under the leadership of the Indian government, the Indian people will defeat COVID. Yesterday, April 30, President Xi Jinping sent a message of sympathy to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, and personally offered his condolences to the Indian government and people. We can’t pat ourselves on the back for our one-time victory, or rub in our success with such cruel mockery. The pandemic is raging, the virus is mutating, it could come back at us any time. Every individual, and society as a whole, paid a heavy price. China’s success at quelling the pandemic came through strict management and control, social lockdown, coordination among the masses, economic backsliding, and international aid. “Winning or losing” both stand on enormous individual sacrifice. As India is being ravaged by COVID, the most basic sympathy for those suffering as we did is fundamentally human-it has nothing to do with patriotism, it is basic decency. Japan said, “We are in different lands, but we share the same sky,” touching countless Chinese people. When COVID first hit Wuhan and the city was short on medical equipment, in that hopeless moment when patients couldn’t be saved in time, other countries reached out to China.
#China mocks india full
Its derision of India’s situation, its mockery of the suffering of the Indian people, its profaning of India’s dead, will also be seen as the official voice of China.Įvery single victim of the pandemic had a full and vibrant life, and each is worthy of respect.
It represents the official voice of China. This is the news site of the Central Political and Legal Committee. You can’t demand that everyone think the same, that everyone be equally empathetic to the victims of the pandemic.īut the same snide remark coming from China Peace Net is grossly inappropriate. After all, there are as many value systems as there are people. Virtually the same Weibo post is all over social media: “China lights a fire, India lights a fire, both are sending people up to heaven.” You can’t blame them for their mockery. ignition in India, #400ThousandNewCasesIn1DayInIndia#.” Below the text were two photos: one of China launching a rocket, the other of healthcare workers in India building funeral pyres for the latest victims of COVID-19. “China Peace Net,” the online presence of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, posted to Weibo at 1:24 p.m. The essay has since been deleted, while CDT Chinese editors note that more recent posts critiquing the official post have remained online. The essay castigates the official account for the comparison, and offers an apology to the people of India. The post sparked an immediate backlash both in China and abroad.ĬDT has translated an essay by WeChat public account further describing the offending post in the context of a recent wave of angry online nationalism and a belligerent “wolf warrior” style of official diplomacy. The post compared a photo of the mass funeral pyres reportedly being used in New Delhi as crematoriums are overwhelmed to that of the unmanned module for China’s Tianhe space station that was successfully launched last week. However, not everyone in the Party appeared to have embraced the message of compassionate neighborly outreach voiced by its “core leader.” On May 1, the day after Xi’s personal message to Modi-and as India’s official daily COVID-19 case count was breaking 400,000-the CCP Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, China’s top law enforcement authority, posted a brutal comparison on Weibo. Chinese state media reported that in a personal message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Xi expressed his concern and desire to offer additional assistance: “Mankind is a community of common destiny sharing weal and woe and only through unity and cooperation can the nations of the world ultimately overcome the pandemic.” Xi also offered his optimism that under New Delhi’s leadership “the people of India will certainly overcome the pandemic.” Last week, as India’s daily count of new COVID-19 cases had been over 300,000 ( at least) for more than a week, Xi Jinping offered a gesture of goodwill despite abiding economic and diplomatic rivalries between the two nations.
