San Francisco has been blasted as a 'ghost town' and a 'ruined city' by Chinese media outlets, as city officials use the Star Wars theme to rid streets of homeless people.

The beleaguered California city has been labelled a 'total failure' by some China-based outlets as the city prepares to host Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.

The spotlight will be on the city as the Chinese President meets with President Biden for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

While the city gears up for the event, U.S. Chinese Radio used the headline 'Ghost town San Francisco to have major blood exchange as APEC will bring the safest week in history to the city.'

Other headlines include the phrases 'garbage city, 'ruined city' and 'fallen city', as crippling drug issues and widespread homeless problems continue to cause problems for the city.

Another headline from the Chinese site Phoenix also said the city had fallen into a 'death cycle'.

One article also states: 'San Francisco was once a jewel on the West Coast of the United States, but as the Democrats advanced their radical agenda.

'Now it has become a mecca of crime, the streets are in disarray, and it is rapidly slipping towards the status of a ghost town.'

In an attempt to combat the ongoing issues, residents have also decided to start blasting the Star Wars title theme to keep homeless people from sleeping on the sidewalks.

One building at the corner of Van Ness Avenue and Eddy Street in the city now has two speakers above a bus stop to use them as a deterrent.

Every homeless person should be issued a Taunttaun to sleep in.

Star Wars theme?

It’s a dark time for SF
poop and crime are everywhere
the rulers have decreed its all good
but a rebellion is stirring

Every city should have an enclosed area for the homeless, where they can do what they want and social services are provided. However, they can’t hang around anywhere else.

Walk their asses to the city limits and tell them don’t come back.

Would that it were.

It’s what the voters of California wanted. I’m not seeing the problem.

all over this land.

(but Nancy is already hammered I understand)

Makes total sense if you're a Californian.

Sometimes, even the Red Chinese are correct.
They are gloating over the sticky mausoleum Frisco has become.
