China has published a short animation titled 'Once Upon a Virus' mocking the U.S. response to the new coronavirus using Lego-like figures to represent the two countries.

SHANGHAI - China has published a short animation titled “Once Upon a Virus” mocking the U.S. response to the new coronavirus using Lego-like figures to represent the two countries.

Washington and Beijing are locked in a war of words over the origins of the disease, which emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has grown into a global pandemic. In the animation posted online by China’s official Xinhua news agency, red curtains open to reveal a stage featuring Lego-like figures in the form of a terracotta warrior wearing a face mask and the Statue of Liberty.“So what?” replies the Statue of Liberty. “It’s only a flu.”

“Are you listening to yourselves?” asks the warrior as the statue begins to turn red with fever and gets hooked up to an intravenous drip.“That’s what I love about you Americans, your consistency,” says the warrior.

It's leaked out from the lab:

Deservedly so. US had a piss poor response, same as H1N1. But now it chooses to deflect and blame China. Never change, America.

Trump got updates about the virus early January, did nothing.

As a government official, it’s not appropriate to mock at other countries’ suffering in this difficult time. So immature and childish.😨

I really hope the US companies get out of China. Quit playing with fire US. Who cares about cheap Chinese junk

The CCP thanks you and has added 602 points to your Social Credit Score. With your new balance, you are now permitted to dine in upscale restaurants.

You mean “owned”.

FrederickMelo China thanks you for promoting their propaganda.

The virus was created by lab rats that escaped a facility in Wuhan and traveled to a food market where they tried to free some fruit bats so they could fly away, leaving all people to die

China mocks after starting the dumpster fire. The world knows China denies all guilt of every and anything. One day, they'll kill us all.

The Chinks sure has the nerve

Hindu goons in india

It'll come back to haunt, you know who...

China which is pretty much an entire economy made up of knockoffs and piracy is taking shots at the US...they need the US more then the US will ever need them especially with India just itching to pickup the trade slack

Well our response sucked and now we're on track to lose 100,000 Americans because of it. Maybe this will bruise the loser at the top's ego enough to get him to mobilize tests so we can safely open the economy and avoid a depression.

President Bed Bug has made the USA an international punchline. :-)

Lol it’s epic

Where is captain America they ask....China must grow up.

We all know that the Reuters is a propaganda mouthpiece of the CCP Regime. It was the Reuters that helped CCP deceive the world about the COVID19 pandemic by reporting CCP lies without questioning the validity of the totalitarian Regime's claims

I’m gonna laugh when China pays the price for this. Laugh and laugh and laugh......

A war is brewing. Dream come true for the orange dude. Thats for sure.

While China and US fight, India will be the new economic leader. Only if the things will go smoothly, of course. 🙏

Who doesn't mock the Americans lately......

Feel proud pushing CCP propaganda? CCPLiedPeopleDied CCPVirus

For a country that ate the diseased bats that started this whole thing, they really have NOTHING to mock.

Remember when when China was saying they had it under control and that western countries were racist for lifting their people out of China and denying entry to Chinese because of the virus they ‘had under control’? I remember all of that. China trying so hard not to remember 😂

According to the responses under this twit, I see a lot of grand masters of using Morton's Fork. 😂🤮

really Reuters? corrupted.

Korea and the US found out on the same day. The US's problem is ALL Trump. The world knows it too.

GolpeDoSTF GolpeDeEstado

They lie to us (and the rest of the world), and now mock us for something their lies led to. Remember folks, Biden has been standing up for China.

China will stop mocking when the western countries shift their production away from China. It needs to happen.

Who cares?!? They are just mad that they can’t rip us off anymore.

china failed/refused to close its borders ( no 1 in, no 1 out), So: the world needs to send china some rather large 'invoices for the damage'.

That's how America used to laugh at China. The tables are turning

CCP China🇨🇳After unleashing biblical biological weapon on humanity now they r cyber attacking pharmaceutical/medical research facilities in western countries trying to steal research data on potential anti-corona drugs & vaccines💉how pathetic,inhuman & low can they get.Pure evil

Chinese virus vs American incompetence

Communism kills! Europe, Noth America and rest of the world wont forget this time, no matter the CCP prapaganda...

World shoud get united and ban chinese products and people from their country. Lets see how much the china gang of china , pakistan , turkey , north korea will last .

Lego should file a lawsuit in US courts and should be awarded heavy damages in the billions so that these commie will start to respect IP for once.

it was hilarious 😁

Yes China can mock the world because there will be no consequences for their virus warfare

Well, it's not like we didn't deserve it.

Is this a fact?

The most important thing is to eliminate the virus

Grrr.

trump’s inaction has caused tens of thousands of deaths but you dumbasses are mad at china for a cartoon

Where is this video?

I remember the media has been criticizing Trump of praising China,therefore China’s video was made to mock American media,which means you guys are propagating the stuff for mocking yourself 😑

Lots of mocks, both ways.

I thought the Chinese said the virus came from America?Anyway this is a good example of how spiteful and childish nationalist Chinese can be. The more people who see it the better as hopefully it'll wake people up and start a reassessment of relations with that horrible country.

Wow. The digital propaganda continues.

Lol I'm sorry. But this is very close to my perception of people who have some idea of the basics of virology & immunology (lego guy) talking to a trump supporter (Lady Liberty).

chinamustfall chinesevirus

OK, but let's be honest did China respond well when the virus first started? From what I remember they were also slow in accepting and responding to help reduce the spread. Why mock when this began there anyway?

I support Trump over biden who wants to be friends with communist chinese,,

Hey another CCP_is_terrorist cheque cleared I see. boycottchina makechinapay

Thise who mock will be mocked.

DonaldTrump 'Yes, I ignored the coronavirus. I IGNORED IT FOR MONTHS. But they told me this was a NO-SHOW JOB. Don't you know what a no-show job is?'

What grade are they in? The whole world needs to grow the hell up.

LEGO allow use their product to make animation?
