China’s foreign ministry gloated over America’s opioid crisis, posting a message online today arguing that it proves the superiority of the Chinese Communist Party’s governance model.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, a stridently anti-U.S. voice on social media, posted a series of messages condemning the U.S. and emphasizing that “China won’t become the U.S.” One of those posts said that “China does not allow the drug problem to haunt the nation and kill 100,000+ per year”; it was accompanied by an image of an apparently unconscious man surrounded by people who appeared to be administering naloxone, an overdose treatment drug.
