Republican lawmakers fired back after the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) state-owned media mocked the wave of violence America experienced over Independence Day weekend. Xinhua News Service, a Chinese state media outlet, attacked the surge of violence over the Fourth of July weekend in a crass political cartoon of a man firing guns over a grave marked "Death From Firearm" as what appears to be two politicians celebrate the holiday. "How a gun-happy nation spends its #FourthofJuly weekend," the state media outlet captioned the picture. The state media outlet was not the only Chinese government mouthpiece to mock the tragedies that have befallen the U.S. in the past weeks. During the same period last year, the NYPD recorded 55 shooting incidents, 78 shooting victims and 16 homicides.
