Reviving Elements of Cultural Revolution in China

What is going on in China makes me question whether we are living in the 21st century. It is unbelievable that elements of Cultural Revolution return again in China. In some cities of China, people are now being punished by government officials simply because they didn't wear masks outdoors. They were tied up and toured on the streets in order to warn others about the consequences of not wearing a mask outside their homes. The government officials are just like how the students of Red Guards in Cultural Revolution did to Mao Zedong's political rivals. Look at the videos in the twitter posts the author of this article has collected, it is crazy. As I said in previous posts, the byproducts of the coronavirus are even more devastating than the virus itself.
