Danish newspaper refuses to apologise to China over coronavirus cartoon

In 2005, Jyllands-Posten published satirical drawings of the Prophet Mohammad that caused outrage across the Muslim world.

Editor-in-chief Jacob Nybroe said the paper had not intended to make fun of the situation in China, where the new coronavirus has killed 106 people and infected thousands, but refused to apologise, local newswire Ritzau reported. "We cannot apologise for something that we don't believe is wrong," Nybroe told Ritzau."We have no intention of demeaning or mocking the situation in China and we don't think the drawing does that."

Danish politicians from across the spectrum said China should not pressure the paper."Full support for Jyllands-Posten," tweeted Conservative Party leader Soren Pape Poulsen.

China should apologise to the world for its abuse of human rights and animal rights. A country that eats stolen pet dogs and cats gets zero respect. Communismkills everything.

This cartoon is hilarious and was almost as good as this gem they posted in 2003. Sorry if you hate free speech. I remember Denmark telling every country to shut up, including the US when the ridicule came.

If you still think you're right about FREEDOM OF SPEECH, please try to insulte Allah in front of a muslim.

Free speech

May the fire spread all Austria

Freaking awesome cartoon - pithy - says it all without even one word! 👍🏆

LOL so you abandon your laws

You never know how significant the national flag to China so you said it’s joke it’s funny it’s a freedom of speech. Yes, we do have freedom. So we do have the freedom asking for apologies. Did you guys learn to be responsible for your speech in kindergartens?

Friends, may I humbly recommend that easily offended members of CPofCN and its lackey nationalist friends equip themselves with one of these gadgets. StopAppeasingChina boycottbeijing2022

Do we have to worry about Chinese radicals slaughtering people in the streets of Europe or aren’t they as sensitive to ridicule through cartoon as you know who?

Yeah .. China is going to be holding it’s breath a while on that one. Danes dont take to being told what to do that well.

So Should Australia be apologising to the world for bushfire?

'I would threaten to shirtfront them' 🇦🇺

Oh dear ...

Now Chinese over population and uncivilized food choices are for all to see globally

Joking about a disease that’s killing people.

China should be apologizing to the world for it's the breeding ground and spreader of this virus

Dirty 3rd world hellhole pretends it's anything but

And the big red petulant child spits the dummy again.

SBS Get over it China.

SBS China needs to apologise to the world for creating this latest virus

Wrap your krone around a corona and give it to the Danish.

Every think disrespectful to the Chinese bunch of Winges

It is not funny, especially the whole country is fighting with the virus and MORE THAN 100 people died.

This is just sad 😒

As everyone knows， This new virus has killed a lot of people in China， If even human life can be used to joke， I think Denmark is a rubbish country， The premise of freedom of speech is to be responsible for your words and deeds，so？

Demand as much as you like Ch$na

The continually offended Chinese... regardless whether they are the cause of these viral outbreaks due to their disgusting habits.

Screw you, China. ChineseEmbinUS

We could try and teach China humour, satire, and Freedom of Speech, Nah ain't gonna work, China and America and Russia these days get so fucking offended like a bunch of Millennials, upset over an innocuous comment on social media they need to get that sand out of their vaginas

I dont judge an entire race, but thats pretty dam cute 😊

Good on you Denmark. Keep up the good work.
