If your voice is not in harmony with China’s official tone, you would be attacked in a “cultural revolution-style” even if you are a mainlander.
Chinese student Nova Hui commented on Weibo that Chinese are “miserable wretches”, “country haters” and “returning to the country like prisoners”, and she “is not going to be the small potato of the country” and “doesn’t want to go back at all”. These comments were slammed by netizens, criticizing that she was ungrateful and has forgotten her roots. She was also doxed.
Nova later issued an apology, emphasizing that she “loves her motherland and compatriots”. She admitted that she neglected the feelings of her compatriots, and shouldn’t have provoked them with extremist opinions. However, Nova revealed to her friend that she apologized for the sake of downplaying the situation, and believed that “it’ll be fine after three days”. Netizens thought her apology was insincere, and Nova’s Weibo account was subsequently deleted.
Chinese visiting scholar Wending Mai earlier sent an apology email to her American colleagues for the spread of COVID-19, due to the delayed actions by China. “As a Chinese, I feel sorry about the coronavirus which comes from China has spreaded out, from an epidemic to a pandemic that brings so many inconveniences to you, and even endanger people’s lives”, he wrote. “Chinese governemnt’s cover-up and WHO’s delayed response are also disappointing causes that also contribute to the spread. United States is a great country. I believe U.S. will survive and thrive. And I hope everything goes well soon.” He continued.
In fact, before the ‘Wending Mai email’ incident, a Chinese student studying in the US, Zhihao Kong, posted an ‘apology video’ on Twitter to apologize to COVID-19 patients, and said that “China regime and Chinese people are guilty for the surge of the pandemic”.
Wending Mai’s action begets wumaos and “little pinks” to turn out in full strength, attacking him in a “cultural revolution-style”

Many netizens on behalf of Taiwanese apologized to Tedros
Taiwanese Investigation Bureau found Chinese Netizens did it
(11 Apr) Tedros, director of WHO, said before that he had been subjected to racist comments and death threats for months. His speech caused a lot of controversy. Then, many messages on behalf of Taiwanese apologizing to Tedrso appeared quickly. After Taiwan Investigation Bureau started an investigation, it was found that it may be done by Chinese Netizens.
Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) held a press conference lately and published an investigation report showing that many posts in twitter about “I am Taiwanese, I am ashamed of the racial discrimination and maliciously attacks to Tedros by Taiwanese. On behalf of Taiwanese, I would like to apology to Tedros and black population. I beg for his pardon.” A large amount of similar messages were found, therefore MJIB believed it was manipulated by foreign forces, and decided to investigate and find out the source.
They found a Twitter account of a broadcast website was the first one to leave message related to apologize for different European and American media. After that, a Chinese radio twitter account copied that message as an apology template, and even provided photo of Taiwanese IDs to urge other twitter users to use them to pretend as Taiwanese and publish apology tweets. Other netizens found it was interesting. MJIB has already found nearly 100 similar posts, and they would continue to investigate this incident, and urged people to be cautious to identify fake news on the Internet.

Incident of the Chinese Ambassador's Fake Apology
(13 Apr) "China finally has its day of reckoning." China's counter-epidemic inspection measures have targeted African residents in Guangzhou. In the past week, this became an intercontinental diplomatic issue. Although the Chinese government emphasised that isolation measures for foreigners were non-discriminatory, expats from various African countries continually reported back home the collective discrimination they experienced. Even international students who "have not left China in the past two years" were forced into isolation. These events sparked protests from many African countries. The Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives summoned the Chinese Ambassador and demanded an "official explanation". Unexpectedly, Nigerian news media took a screenshot from the meeting and titled it "The Chinese Ambassador bowed in apology". The image started trending rapidly online in Africa. However, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs tersely issued a clarification, stating that the Chinese Ambassador was merely looking down at the cell phone. "Any other interpretation of the scene does not conform with what was actually there during the meeting."
//The scene in the screenshot gives the odd impression that the Chinese Ambassador was "bowing 90 degrees while being lectured".
//the screenshot may have been "intentionally" taken out of context. Speculations included that it was a "deliberate trap" for the Nigerian government to account for public grievances.

Belarusian Police Tortured and Threatened Protesters with Rape,
Officials Apologize for police Violence and Release All Protesters
More than 6,700 protesters were arrested in the anti-government demonstrations triggered by the Belarusian presidential election on August 9. The detention centers were overcrowded as a result. Many media sources showed that the detained protesters were physically abused by the police. Amnesty International pointed out that the protesters were tortured extensively. Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Barsukov said that all protesters would be released by 6 a.m. Friday morning (Aug 14). So far more than 2,000 protesters have been released.
Inhumane custodial conditions
Protesters beaten without getting treatments
Some released protesters posted photos on Nexta, which showed that they have suffered a lot of injuries, including large purple bruises and swelling on their backs or buttocks. They said the injuries were caused by the police. Amnesty International stated that some arrestees were stripped naked, beaten and threatened with rape.
Many journalists and pedestrians were arrested as well. One of the released Russian journalists, Nikita Telizhenko, disclosed her three-day detention life. She mentioned that many detainees were forced to sleep on the ground which had blood and faeces. They were not allowed to use the toilet or even change their lying positions for many hours. Ms. Telizhenko has already returned to Russia.
