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.

Already a huge line of caravans...busses and cars of unemployed people along the bay shore in Tony Marin County just north of San Francisco.

That’s how it should be. This way, those that might be motivated to improve themselves can and the others are left in peace.

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

And many of the voters in California are Asians and thus this is the kind of state they wanted. China should be applauding Asian success in wrecking San Fran.

I know. I thought “Crap. I am agreeing with the ChiComs on something. This can’t be a good sign.”

Try this version, it’s pretty good. I played for this guy, way back ‘in the day’, but was gone by the time he recorded this.

the Chinese media will report on all of the homeless, poop in the park, etc. They will be saying this was one of the great cities in America, now look what it is.

Other day, I read some stores were playing classical music to get rid of homeless people and “riffraff.” Apparently, it works. I think they should play obnoxious opera. I like classical, but maybe it doesn’t impel people to spend lotsa money.

So, Newscum’s trip to China didn’t impress the Chinese populace.
