CHINA — Where's your mask?

As China's government desperately scrambles to show the world they can manage this new threat, local police forces are implementing some ruthless and quite frankly archaic orders from Beijing.

Shocking videos have emerged that show local authorities within China humiliating people for not wearing face masks.

In response to these videos, the editor-in-chief of China's Global Times offered a some-what audacious response by claiming the videos, "gave the public a very bad impression" and meant the "personal rights of citizens… have been severely violated." While the Chinese government is attempting to suppress negative coverage of its response to the threat, the masses of content flooding the internet of videos like these can not be stopped.

China's control of the narrative is slipping.
