Damn, exile for a jog?

Everyone should obey the rules during this special time. It's irresponsible for others and yourself to do whatever you want.

Provoke.Outrage.激起愤怒。Quarantine.隔离检疫。Jog.慢跑。

Wish we could get a translation of the videos, but by the way she starts yelling, she knows she's wrong

So racist.

WELL DONE, China! I love my country China!

Say what you want about China but damn they get stuff done. Okay no games!!

Ian_Eastwood Lmao YEET

This is unfair

Listen here idiots. Notice how the Chinese government are in control of doing this to anyone. If you think normalizing this then you might as well kick your basic human rights goodbye. They are trying to CONTROL. 😒

Lol

Deserve it

As she should

The world loving China........ really scary times in the world right now. Scary

That’s a punishment?

Now,she can go home ,finally!!!

Why do such a silly thing when the situation is so tense..

She should go to indonesia, idiots are everywhere here, you can jog, bikes, whatever you want to do

Yeah, their numbers are probably right...

So she went for a jog on empty streets?what gives here? Just because? It’s not like the stores are open. How about perspective? All you assholes probably left your house at least once today to get some fresh air or see if the local cvs had TP. Hypocrites!!!

Good

Well done

Leaving the country to g where?

👏👏

Freedom at expense of potentially hurting others is not freedom

Her husband has been positive as reported.

This Chinese man is cooking a dog alive 🤯 go to stoneman_o to see for yourself. What's wrong with this chinamen?

CNN的记者都是白拿工资的吗?这个老掉牙的事儿现在才报道出来,并且报道的还不客观。赶紧把记者和编辑开了吧!

I thought qurantine was over and everything in China was back to normal

Go back to Australia. Go to Bondi, Bitch!

bravo

In China, we must abide by the rules of China,No you so callded human rights

She obstructed law enforcement,she deserve it.

She has the super gene like trump who told public not to shake hand but he has been shaking hand with his guests like crazy.

No matter who you are, where you come from, DON’T DO THIS!

1.after entry, she didn't comply with the local community regulations:Stay at home for medical observation 2.She runs around without a mask and is extremely irresponsible to herself and her neighbors

She deserve it

Go back to Australia and enjoy your superior freedom, never come back to China again, please.

That's great

See how you guys report news? Not fake but partial. She has gained Australian citizenship, which means abandoned Chinese citizenship. She was fired by her company first, then her work visa to stay in China becomes invalid, that's how she ought to leave.

in the first video she actually yelled 'help', 'sexual harassment'. curious where she learnt that trick...

Good! No more needs to be said

She deserves it.

better show the video see how she has shot and cursed the police officers, she would have been shot if she was in the States or Austrilia.

Now she will feel the infinite freedom.

先占个位置要不喷子就来啊。大家都在家隔离而她非要出去跑步吵吵闹闹,这会给更多人造成伤害。解雇她是罪有应得。不要再说这不自由了!

Very free

She is lucky not to be executed ...

You really shouldn’t do that, it just puts people in danger.

Lots would be shocked for this

Can’t judge

She is Chinese, so she should leave the country to where?

that is why China can control the coronavirus sperading

she deserved to be punished

no jog

well. she will enjoy breaking laws else where freely. very free now. good for her. congratulations.

Shocked she wasn’t hanged
