It’s unbelievable and shameful.
It’s unbelievable because the party does not know how to cash in…so many people want to get rich.
They should build a few casinos in Wuhan. Can gamble before and after offering to God of Wealth…disperse the crowd a bit.
Blame global warming on incense burners of asia. Or the fake money burners of Singapore.
