A social media post by China's top law enforcement body mocking the grave Covid-19 crisis in India was deleted after it sparked criticism online. The post juxtaposed China’s successful launch of a module into space with grim cremation pyres in India. Photos of the Tianhe module launch was compared with what appeared to be a mass outdoor cremation in India. "China lighting a fire versus India lighting a fire.", the post was captioned and was accompanied by a hashtag noting that new Covid-19 cases in India had surpassed 400,000 a day. Many Chinese social media users expressed shock and anger at the insensitivity of the post.
