China lodged a complaint after images of the garment circulated online, showing the word ‘Wuhan’ on top of the group’s stylised ‘W’
Canada has said it regrets a “misunderstanding” after a diplomat ordered a custom T-shirt showing the word “Wuhan” over the bat-like emblem of hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, prompting a formal complaint from China.
The American group’s logo is a stylised “W”. Reports of the T-shirt order circulating on China’s Twitter-like Weibo described it as depicting a bat, without mentioning Wu-Tang Clan. Many scientists suspect bats to have been a reservoir for Cocivd-19 before it jumped to humans.
