[Zhao Fengying, special correspondent of the Global Times in France] "Chinese not using baby diapers is not an excuse for the Lebanese government to be incompetent and ask the people to save!" According to Lebanon's "Oriental Daily" reported on the 12th, Hector Hajar, minister of social affairs of the new Lebanese government, spoke on the domestic situation, taking Chinese diapers to "talk about things", not only did not play a pacifying effect, but caused the people of the country to laugh at it. According to the analysis, this shows that the Lebanese people are once again disappointed in the new government.
According to the Oriental Daily, Lebanon's new minister of social affairs, Hajar, has not yet taken office, but has set off a storm of public opinion on social media. In a recent interview, Hajar claimed that Lebanon is going through a difficult period and that "we have to deal with the crisis by abandoning certain secondary products." Currently, Lebanese people consider baby diapers to be essential products. And when I came back from China, Chinese I still don't use diapers, and this economic powerhouse doesn't use diapers, Chinese wash them with towels as in the past. The new minister did not say whether he was confirming his so-called "diaper theory" in China's metropolis or remote village, but only asked the Lebanese people to give up using baby diapers or drinking bottled water for the country, because "there is a current economic war against Lebanon, and diapers, facial tissues, and bottled water are not a priority."
Hajar, 65, holds a doctorate in dental surgery from Lebanese University and is one of the ministers in President Michel Aoun's new cabinet. His remarks sparked heated controversy on social networks, with lots of comments mocking him. On the 12th, the label of "diaper minister" topped the Lebanese Twitter hot search list. Someone said: "Chinese don't know without diapers, but they have ministers who really run the country." Your remarks show that you are a clown who does not eat human fireworks. Lebanese Force MP Katitsa also tweeted: "Listening to the 'Minister of Diapers', I am sure this man can lead us farther than hell." ”
Lebanon's new Minister of Information, Kodashi, told the media on the 12th that "Lebanon is on an emergency landing flight, and we must fully cooperate to bring hope to people." Kodasi slammed "certain geniuses and analysts" for "making pessimistic comments" about Lebanon's new government in the media, and he also quoted the word "hell" used by Lebanese President Orne in connection with the current crisis. The comments believe that Hajar's remarks show that he supports Kodasi and asks the people to be frugal and support the country, but the Lebanese people obviously do not have great expectations for the new government. Some netizens said that "the two ministers are really national treasure-level humor actors, but the current disastrous situation of the country and the people is difficult to make people laugh." The new government has a new face, but their way of speaking is still stupid."
According to World Bank data in August, Lebanon is experiencing one of the worst economic crises since the mid-19th century, with about half of the population living below the poverty line and prices up 580 percent since October 2020, according to French BFM TV. Following a 29.3 percent decline in last year's economy, growth is expected to fall by another 9.5 percent this year.
