According to Reuters, Chinese citizens are expressing their frustrations with the slowing economy and weak stock market by spamming the social media account of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing with comments. These comments range from sarcastic to extreme, including a suggestion to 'bomb away the Shanghai Stock Exchange.' The outpouring of discontent, which is seen as embarrassing for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), comes as the country faces a stock market crash and a plunge in housing prices. The Chinese government has censored a live CNN report on the issue and erased tens of thousands of comments from the embassy's social media account.
