Controversy is brewing over the authenticity of graffiti believed to be critical of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his leadership at Tiananmen Square in China.
Japan’s ‘TBS NEWS DIG’ reported on the 11th, citing Canadian Chinese media.
According to the report, Chinese characters were written on the red wall, and a picture of men covering their teeth with a cloth was posted on Twitter.
The photo is believed to be from Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, and the media said, “The phrase ‘You must resign’ was written on the wall.”
On October 13 last year, a banner demeaning President Xi Jinping was hung in Haidian District, Beijing (captured from Twitter)It is known that the photo was posted on social media on the 8th, and although it is unknown what the entire graffiti in the part covered with cloth is, it is presumed to be a criticism of Xi Jinping’s leadership, the media added.
However, it was not confirmed when the incident occurred or whether the graffiti was authentic. Regarding this, a netizen speculated on Twitter that “the last four words must be withdrawn,” and it seems that “National traitor Xi Jinping” is written in front of it.” Another netizen raised the question, “Are you sure it’s Tiananmen Square?”
Previously, in October of last year, there were “zero corona” protests across China, such as hanging banners criticizing President Xi Jinping at Sitongqiao in Beijing. After the fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang in November, protests spread throughout China.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported in a report on December 3 last year that China’s corona protests are no longer spreading. He said it appeared to be successful.
