Since the morning of the 7th, Chinese official media such as @GlobalTimes and @Communist Youth League Central have actively followed the incident, and the content of these high-frequency releases is mostly satirical and sarcastic about the “American chaos”, showing a distinctive war-wolf style, such as comparing the photos of the demonstration to “world famous paintings:”

For example, the “most beautiful scenic route” was mentioned again (regardless of the great difference between the BLM movement in the United States, the pro-Trump protests and the Hong Kong protests.

Under the comments of @Communist Youth League’s “World Famous Paintings” message, there were also rational voices of netizens who expressed their disgust at this “official discourse”, but they were only a small minority, and this was also observed by Twitter users.

Those who respond in this way are often attacked with a large number of comments.

The following is an excerpt from some of the netizens’ comments by China Digital Times editors.

@desertedfailureisland seeking a signal to save the effect of zero use: ? You think you’re funny, don’t you?

@rainpoolroll: I really don’t see what greatness this has. Feel low, very very low. Suddenly it feels like the number becomes a selfish, petty person.

@BuriedAmazing: Inappropriate, really inappropriate. The first thing is not to say that the stems with spaces, the central government published this gloating remarks, there is really no a group of organizations should have the temperament. The air is not to hold back, it is to hit back with a stick when others bite you, not bite back. Don’t hit back at the enemy in the wrong, irrational way, which will look like you’re almost as bad as he is. You can even say a blame is better than a world famous painting.

@IsaacSchoolmate: Is it appropriate for you, a serious political official, to speak so mockingly?

@TimesNotCollection: If you think the other side is doing something wrong, why are you not using it as a cautionary tale when the other side has tasted evil because of your own ideas, but are falling on your sword? Even the language system uses the other party’s set. I’m ashamed for you and don’t find it funny to promote and fuel hatred like this.

@sapporo886: shame on you …… how much hatred and resentment people suffer you are here to sneer, really big country temperament.

@JealousySoda: er What is that community of human destiny? You’re kidding?

@MoreToGetMeLa: You are at least an official media.

@sleepandqin: a little bit of shame, you account called the Communist Youth League Central, can not find a normal adult to operate.

@XuZiXi: Honestly, the official account looks pretty low~

@GangesFloatingBodyManager: Criticism c is equal to praise a logic I have been confused, as the people of the country I want to see the style of a great nation should be more serious and open-minded. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman word by word discretion even if you have studied a little international law know what for, all let the politics of entertainment to wash clean.

The @neolithic blacksmith: please don’t send these to the group, it’s not good.

@a scoop of happiness a touch of sadness: as the official Communist Youth League I think such a statement is inappropriate, right?
