Chinese diplomat, party newspaper post cartoon of Trudeau on indigenous skulls, escalating campaign – By Tom Blackwell (National Post) / July 8 2021
Beijing goes a bold step further in denouncing Canada’s criticism of its mistreatment of Uyghurs
The cartoon is not exactly subtle.
It depicts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sitting on what appear to be the skulls of Indigenous people, grave stones in the background.
“We stole your land, we killed your men, we buried your child (sic),” says the smirking Trudeau character as vultures circle behind him. “Let’s reconcile.”
But it was retweeted recently by both a Chinese diplomat and Hu Xijin, editor in chief of Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party newspaper with an active online presence.
