Wu Tang Clan logo hijacked with Wuhan, used by the Canadian Embassy, who called themselves the Wuhan Clan. Clever, and witty.
The Wu Tang Clan is a 1990s New York rap group. I’m not too familiar with them because I don’t listen to rap much. What does this have to do with China then? It seems that the Canadian Embassy in China called themselves the Wuhan Clan, a funny pun on the rap group, and used the Wu-Tang group’s logo, replacing Wu-Tang with Wuhan. This, by the way, was almost a year ago, when the Canadian Embassy was repatriating Canadians back to Canada.
A year later this “insult to China” has been discovered, and all hell breaks loose on the Chinese internet. Really? China is so sensitive.

There are many more serious issues in the world, like a pandemic that started in China, to feel slighted by a hip hop group’s logo, clever Canadian embassy staff, for an incident over a year ago. China photoshops an Australian soldier ready to slit the throat of an Afghan child, and they get upset over a logo. Hypocritical. Really, get a life, and maybe a Wuhan t-shirt.
