This vid is totally banned in China, folks. I'm serious...has got the authorities SERIOUSLY scared and angry.

Basically the 3.5 min anime-style video (like South Park) protrays the Chinese citizens as rabbits who finally rise up and overthrow their Tiger overlords:

I see it’s about contaminated baby formula fears of which have been a problem but under present circumstances it is weird and creepy that the dying bunnies turn into what looks like the coronavirus.
