US diplomats in China were forced to undergo anal swab tests for COVID-19, according to US State Department records obtained by Judicial Watch. The documents, which were acquired through the Freedom of Information Act and published on Tuesday, revealed that at least one of the US diplomatic officials who was administered the humiliating test had received his COVID rectal exam "at his apartment."
In June 2021, Judicial Watch filed an FOIA request for "records about US diplomatic personnel in or seeking to enter China being subjected to anal swab tests for the COVID-19 virus including all complaints and communications regarding such testing," the organization stated. The request, which initially went unanswered, led to the organization filing lawsuit to obtain the records. Although some details have been redacted from the information dump, emails between US officials confirm that diplomatic officials were anally swabbed to test for the coronavirus by Chinese health officials. "So, a colleague from [redacted] telling our group [redacted] that he was given an anal COVID swab at his apartment," stated an email from a general services officer at the US Consulate General in Shenyang, China. "Just a heads up, as I am sure it is going to blow up soon… if you aren’t already dealing with it. Employee’s name is [redacted]. Just getting ahead before the word of mouth starts spreading," read the email, which was titled "New Testing Method?" Another official, responding to the email, asked the first person for details of the city in which it supposedly occurred, and for details about the test itself. The official asked if the anal swab recipient was given forewarning before being given the rectal examination, and whether he had the option to refuse. A third redacted official stated that the incident occurred in Beijing, at the American’s apartment. "No notice or options as I can tell," the official wrote. "He had to both a nose and anal swab." A further report from Judicial Watch details how on Jan. 22, 2021, a management officer at the US Consulate in Shenyang wrote: "FAO [foreign area office] is telling the Embassy that it was a mistake to ask for anal swabs and that it didn’t apply to diplomats. TBD how [redacted] will play it, but for now we’ll have to tell people they don’t have to do it. Reportedly you do it yourself in private so not as bad as I envisioned." Other US officials expressed anger at the anal swab tests, calling on superiors to "do something about this." A redacted official wrote on Jan. 27, 2021: "I have asked [redacted] to contact [redacted] immediately regarding the anal swab and environmental testing. He is calling them now." It was met with a same-day response, informing the official to "Please contact the [redacted]. [Redacted] turned off the anal swab, and indicated that we are fine with an oral or nasal swab. He also turned off the inside the apartment environmental testing as I protested both of those items."
OUR diplomats would enjoy this, i would think.
That’s awesome! Anyone in this government deserves the humiliation that the Chinese are more than willing to heap onto them.
A wee bit of schadenfreude as I watch this country melt down, and the public can’t be bothered to notice.
“Thank you, sir. Can I have some more?”
Well played! That’s some funny stuff there.
When are people going to realize that China is mocking the US and we are taking it and asking for more? WTH!
Watch what you wish for. Hopefully, TSA will have private booths when the fun starts here.
The Secretary of Transportation is miffed he wasn’t told to submit...
China has the DNA of all Americans who go there. They have a database so they can catch and track spies. We have almost no spies there now. But the Chinese citizens are not always loyal. So that helps a bit.
On the other side, our state department, military, and intelligence agencies are basically foreign or foreign controlled. Our elected officials are not in control. So our voters have little affect on our country’s policies.
They were talking about this around the time Trump started calling it the Wuhan Flu.
I don’t think this is “new” news.
Katie Couric senses a new job opportunity for a return to real reporting.
Let’s Go Bunghole!
The anal swabbing should be the concluding activity of the daily raising of the Embassy rainbow flag.
Really sticking the ‘finger’ to Biden’s state department.
Sounds like they are using the Joe Biden COVID-19 test kit.

I’m certain that many of these government schlubs can accomodate that swab just fine ... in fact, most of them probably don’t even notice when they’re being “intruded” .(”pleasured” if you prefer) .. just like any Saturday night in DC.
Let’s force Biden and all in his administration to take one
They’ll probably volunteer.....................
Mayor Pete approves of the Chinese invasion testing method?
