China accuses the US of spreading fear about the coronavirus |
| China's foreign ministry said Monday that the U.S. has not helped contain the outbreak of coronavirus but has instead spread fear by imposing travel bans . More than 17,000 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in China and 183 across 26 other countries from an outbreak that has killed 362 people. There are 11 confirmed cases in the U.S. Last week, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory telling Americans not to go to China because of the virus. A spokeswoman for the Chinese foreign ministry, Hua Chunying, said the U.S. has "inappropriately overreacted" by issuing the travel advisory. |

Online, the performance sparked quite the debate: Was it empowering to watch two women of color over 40 performing in a provocative way? Or had we reverted back to a pre-#MeToo moment of objectifying women? |
