Beijing has introduced a highly insulting anal test, which has caused great discontent among the public. A few days ago, a South Korean entering Beijing was forced to take off his underwear for a sample, to which the frightened Korean immediately sought help from the Korean Embassy in Beijing before being allowed to use a stool sample instead.
According to the Korean media “wowkorea”, earlier this month, a South Korean who arrived in Beijing by plane first went to a designated hotel to prepare for quarantine, and then received a notice that he would be forced to undergo an anal test. The inspector forcefully demanded that “all of you take off your pants and underwear,” the Korean said, adding that “women and children are not exempt, everyone has to take them off.”
The Korean was so horrified and angry when he was notified that he immediately asked the Korean Embassy in China for help. After the embassy intervened, he was spared the humiliation of having to take off his pants, but was asked to provide a stool sample instead of an anal sample to be tested for the virus.
According to the report, Chinese Communist Party experts say that anal and fecal tests are “more accurate,” but that mandatory anal testing has been accused of violating human rights. However, in China, Communist Party policies often take precedence over human rights and freedoms of its citizens.
The report said that all the Chinese who were isolated in the same hotel as the Korean were also required to undergo anal testing, but did not particularly resist the request.
According to official notices from the Communist Party, Beijing has made anal testing, in which a staff member inserts a swab into the rectum to take samples, mandatory for the entire staff in several areas where cases of infection have been reported, including all women.
On the evening of January 29, Sina News released a video of people of all ages, young and old, walking with their feet wide open and limping, as if they had suffered great physical harm and pain, as shown in several shots of “people in Shijiazhuang after undergoing anal swabbing for nucleic acid. pain.
The official “insulting test” has made the public unhappy, with some netizens criticizing the test as “not very harmful, but extremely insulting. Others said they were discouraged from returning to Beijing for New Year’s Eve because of it.
This is not the first Time China has conducted anal testing. According to Taiwan‘s Central News Agency, anal swab testing was already used in some hospitals in China to detect the virus when the outbreak was severe last year, but the testing was done on a smaller scale at the time.
According to the U.S. media, one person underwent two anal tests in a quarantine hotel in Weihai, Shandong province, in September last year. The person said the test lasted about a few seconds and felt like diarrhea, which was very uncomfortable.
