Some netizens suspected that officials in Guizhou\u2019s provincial capital of Guiyang, under pressure from higher-level authorities to quash COVID outbreaks before the CCP\u2019s 20th Party Congress in October, were trying to \u201cjuke the stats\u201d by transporting potentially infected individuals to locations outside their city. Online commenters pointed out the preventability of the accident, criticized state media silence and online censorship of the story, and commemorated the victims with words and artwork including the image below. A number of Weibo users noted that the accident occurred on China\u2019s National Humiliation Day, which refers to the start of the Japanese invasion of China in 1931, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Lindadalew\/status\/1571521633906733057\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">suggested that it gave a new layer of meaning to the day&#8217;s name<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Making the rounds on wechat today.
