US Embassy Compare Chinese Students to Dogs

The US enjoys mocking the Chinese. 

The visa office of the US Embassy in China have come under intense fire on Chinese social media as netizens pointed out their account has contemptuously compared Chinese student visa applicants to dogs in a scandalous post, which some net users said was "pure racism that has hit the lowest of the low". 

The post, published by the visa office on Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like platform, on Wednesday, one day after the US Embassy resumed visa processing for Chinese students, said that "As Spring blossoms, are you the same as the puppy, eager to go out and play?" before informing students about the visa application resumption. 

A video of a dog, struggling to jump over a fence that trapped it in a tiny balcony and trying to reach out, was posted along with the words. 

The crass post quickly ignited Chinese netizens' fury as many believed the US Embassy had compared Chinese students to dogs. Indignant web users called it "blatant racism" and rightly so! 

Hashtag "US Embassy compare Chinese students to dogs" soon was trending on social media, which attracted more than 800,000 reads within three hours after its publication. 

The post was deleted later – but the damage was done. 

Indeed, the US Embassy are impudent, insulting and insolent!
