Chinese Concern About Iran's Virus Crisis Becomes Top Weibo Topic

Michael Lipin

   Concern about Iran's worsening coronavirus outbreak has become so great
   in China, a key ally, that users of dominant Chinese microblog Sina
   Weibo have made it a top discussion item for days.

   VOA reviews of Weibo's "Hot Search" feature Friday and Saturday found
   that at least one Iran coronavirus-related story appeared in the
   microblog's top 10 list of trending topics on both days, alongside
   other popular topics related to Chinese entertainment and domestic
   news.
