People bow during a national moment of mourning for virus victims at an official ceremony in Wuhan.
BFMTV and its journalist Emmanuel Lechypre were lambasted as racist and “shockingly insensitive” on social media after the business reporter made the comment over live footage of the three-minute silence observed across China. The channel’s boss Marc-Olivier Fogiel also apologised to viewers, although it remains unclear whether Lechypre will be sanctioned.
The Chinese homage was led by President Xi Jinping, with the entire country coming to a halt as cars, trains and ships sounded their horns, and air-raid sirens wailed.
