COVID-19: Canadian diplomat’s ‘Wuhan’ T-shirt angers Chinese
Reuters, BEIJING
Canada yesterday said that it regretted a “misunderstanding” after China lodged a formal complaint over a diplomat’s order of a custom T-shirt displaying the word Wuhan, the city where the COVID-19 pandemic first emerged, over the emblem of hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan.
The logo of the US group is a stylized “W.” Reports of the T-shirt order circulating on Chinese social media described it as depicting a bat, without mentioning Wu-Tang Clan.
Many scientists suspect bats to have been a reservoir for COVID-19 before it jumped to humans.
