This has been a big deal in the news here the last couple of days. I'm sure it will incite very nasty reactions from everyone who sees it. I just hope that before this turns into attacks on Chinese people or culture generally, that those seeing it understand the fact that people in China are horrified by this too.

Appreciate the fact that if you're on this board you are most likely among the most privileged and fortunate few percentage points of people on the planet.

Edit: this BBC article is at least more balanced than the CNN one.
