In the video, the United States, represented by a Statue of Liberty figurine, calls China's lockdown orders 'barbaric' and a 'violation of human rights.'

The video purports that the U.S., represented in the video by a Statue of Liberty figurine, did not heed warnings from the Chinese government that the novel coronavirus was dangerous.

The video goes on to say the U.S. called the temporary hospital built by the Chinese government"a concentration camp" and that the lockdown measures the communist country implemented was"barbaric" and"a violation of human rights." At one point in the video, the Chinese figurine says that the novel coronavirus is now airborne. The American figurine responds,"it will magically go away in April."

"By the way, the virus, they're working hard. Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that's true. But we're doing great in our country. And China, I spoke with President Xi [Jinping] and they're working very, very hard and I think it is going to all work out fine. Rough stuff, I tell you. Rough, rough stuff.
