China is part of the world.

And? This story literally is only relevant to China and the local population. This doesn’t affect the rest of the world in any way.

So why is this “world news”?

Were you posting this shit around the Grenfell tower fire? The Seoul crush? If you’d gone back in time what would your reaction to the Hindenburg be?

Shut your xenophobic ass up and sit the fuck down as we mourn a tragic loss of life. We’re all human and this is a moment to reflect on that fact. Use it. You need it.
