'Statistics show, time and again, that some are disproportionately prejudiced against in the U.S.,' a caption included with the cartoon reads.

The Chinese cartoon comes as racial tensions remain heightened nationwide following the high-profile deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police in 2020. George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis, died after a police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes in late May. Breonna Taylor died in March after being shot multiple times by Louisville, Kentucky, police entering her home at night on a warrant. She was killed as her boyfriend exchanged gunfire with the officers.

Floyd's and Taylor's deaths, along with a long list of other high-profile cases, have led to nationwide Black Lives Matter demonstrations, with activists calling for an end to systemic racism in policing and the justice system. A study published in June by researchers at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that Black Americans were more than three times as likely as white Americans to be killed during an encounter with police.

A protester holds a photo of George Floyd while a pro-democracy activist holds a Black Lives Matter sign outside the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong during a June 7 demonstration against racism and police brutality.for its treatment of the Uighurs, an ethnic minority in the country's northwestern Xinjiang region. Up to 2 million people from the predominantly Muslim minority have been detained in concentration camps there, according to reports.

Although China has said it has a"zero tolerance policy" regarding racism, Africans in the country have also faced significant discrimination, according to reports. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many Africans in China were reportedly subjected to arbitrary testing and forced quarantines, despite not having traveled and not having contact with infected individuals. Many were also baselessly evicted from their homes and hotels, CNN reported.

If you told me it was illustrated by the Biden Harris campaign I’d believe it.

Could not be more accurate. Historically satan has been portrayed with a pitchfork! This is exactly who blacks have been subjected to for 401 years, “satan incarnate”.

How about covering the Chinese concentration camps holding millions of Muslims?

...🥱

So no different than ccp American media.

thanks to the mainstream media

I don’t doubt that China is behind this whole propaganda campaign to remove the focus on themselves.

Typical racist China. So sad, they have a lot to learn about Civil rights and what our people had to go though in the 1960's and earlier.

Why do they believe all cops are white?

People who keep Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps shouldn't throw stones.

absurd, we al know they use guns

They don't even believe black people have souls in China

Now do Chinese cops hunting uyghur muslims

Cool now do Uighur concentration camps in China

Which US will not censor the cartoon but China banned South Park. Who touch the real sensitive point?

OK yall dig up that one video of a cop fast enough to use a pitchfork. Otherwise, that is a very unrealistic depiction. 99% of cops are way too slow to use a pitchfork.

Like they did to black patrons who were trying to order McDonald's?

Both Political Parties, News Media, US Military, CIA, FBI, & US Intelligence believe all CITIZENS are SCUM. They believe AMERICA is all about those which serve in above listed capacities & you must SLAUGHTER the CITIZENS as needed Read what is pinned on my PROFILE INVESTIGATE

Where's the lie?
