On January 14, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference.

An NBC reporter asked whether China is considering providing specific assistance to local residents affected by the wildfire in Los Angeles, USA?

Guo Jiakun stated that there has been a severe wildfire in the Los Angeles area recently, and we express our condolences to the victims and extend our sympathies to the injured and the families of the casualties.

Under this news, many Chinese people criticized the American reporter’s question. Especially with TikTok potentially being banned, President Biden having just announced export control measures related to artificial intelligence, and the recent classification of Chinese garlic as a national security threat by the United States. Chinese netizens commented: Is the main issue that Chinese equipment is used on US soil, which poses a threat to US security?
