"U.S. Embassy in China becomes 'Wailing Wall' amid stock plunge"

Chinese citizens are expressing their frustration with the country's slowing economy and weak stock market on the social media account of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, turning it into a platform for venting. A post about protecting wild giraffes by the embassy attracted thousands of comments, many unrelated to wildlife conservation, with some users expressing their economic grievances. Chinese authorities often block "negative" online comments about the economy, and efforts to calm investors have sometimes backfired, as seen with a recent headline from the official People's Daily being mocked on social media.
