The media stated that the pandemic in the U.S. is 'pushing many people to a breaking point, fueling a slew of public outbursts.'
Chinese state media appeared to troll the United States on Monday, publishing dual articles referencing the reported low rates of COVID-19 in China versus rampaging cases of the Omicron variant seen in the U.S.
Despite Omicron affecting mass portions of the United States, Europe and areas of Asia, the Xinhua News Agency stated that China had only seen 182 new cases of COVID on Monday. This is despite the country having a reported population of over 1.4 billion. Chinese state media has released two articles in which it appeared to troll the United States for its issues containing the COVID-19 Omicron variant, while claiming to have seen less than 200 new cases in China. Here, Chinese officials can be seen testing arrivals at a local train station.However, an additional article from Xinhua News Agency, published just hours earlier, focused on the significant issues plaguing the United States as the nation struggles to contain the spread of Omicron.
"Currently, the United States is witnessing about 1,200 new deaths from COVID-19 each day, CDC data showed," the article continued."More than 69,000 Americans were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Christmas Eve ... the Omicron variant has taken place of the Delta variant to become the most prevalent variant in the country."
