San Francisco is slammed as 'ruined city' and 'hell' in Chinese media ahead of APEC summit - as city officials try to clean up the streets by blasting Star Wars theme to get rid of homeless people and open air drug markets

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.

He’s taking courses in Chicom management techniques. When China invades California, he’ll need to know the drill.

This would be like the Governor of New Jersey hosting Adolf Hitler in the mid to late 1930’s.

Compare and contrast ...

Oct 24, 1945 _ Victorious allied nations signed the original declaration of the existence of the new United Nations in (you guessed it) San Francisco. The League of Nations still existed but was considered defunct and concluded its affairs by 1946.

(Nov 3, 1945 Jim Robinson was born, so I am told) ...

Will it take WW-III to get rid of the United Nations? Perhaps.

De-funding police works every time!(maybe not)

Happy birthday Jim!

To ALL, let’s get this Freepathon over before Thanksgiving and double the contributions. Robinson family needs help due to health issues.

They have drug problems.

What they have is 100% controlled media of all sorts.

Xi should consummate the cultural exchange by taking a dump in the street.

I believe Alcatraz is available.

World War III / Ezekiel 38 (maybe) will probably bring them Satan’s Antichrist.

Much to their rejoicing.

LOL. The ‘Babylon Bee’ should write an article about this.

I had never thought it could be true and I used to ignore or argue with people who said basically the following:
“Liberals’ purposeful disintegration of American society will only be stopped by force.”
I don’t have a good argument against that claim anymore.

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.

Every major city used to have a Skid Row district. And a Red Light district. Places where lowlifes and perverts could do as they pleased, so long as they didn't export their lifestyles outside those districts.

“Isn’t Gavin Newsom in China now? What is he doing there?”

Funding the 2024 campaign, I imagine.
