A restaurant in China has drawn controversy after hanging a banner appearing to celebrate the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. and Japan.
The banner, which was pictured on social media, was written in Chinese characters and reportedly said “Congratulations on the epidemic in the U.S.! We wish the epidemic in dwarf Japan will last forever and ever!â€
The Chinese state-run outlet Global Times also reported on the banner and similarly translated the banner’s message as, “Celebrating the epidemic in the US and wishing coronavirus a nice trip to Japan.â€
The Global Times reported that “Mother Yang’s porridge restaurant†in Shenyang, northeast China’s Liaoning Province, was the one responsible for hanging the banner. The Chinese outlet reported the restaurant later apologized for the banner on China’s Twitter alternative platform, Sina Weibo, and said the manager at the time had hung the banner without their permission.
