COVID-19 Anal Swabs in China Become ‘Common Practice’ for Foreigners
Beijing, Shanghai, and Qingdao require anal swabs.
Earlier this year, we reported that China had been utilizing a protocol requiring anal swabs for coronavirus testing.
The system has been recently used on foreigners, which has caused distress and complaints from those subject to the tests.
Foreign visitors have been upset by China’s anal swab tests for COVID-19, prompting complaints of inconvenience and even psychological trauma, and stoking debate over their necessity.
A few cities, such as the capital, Beijing, Shanghai and the port city of Qingdao require the checks, in addition to nasal or throat swab tests, for some international arrivals, state media say.
…Such tests can ensure infections are spotted, since coronavirus traces can be detectable in the anus for longer than in the respiratory tract, some Chinese doctors told state media.
But a positive result does not necessarily mean the person tested can spread the virus, as inactive traces unable to replicate or infect others can also show positive, Jin Dongyan, a virology professor at the University of Hong Kong, told Reuters.
In fact, a few days ago, Japanese officials formally asked China to stop using anal swab tests on its citizens when they enter the country.
“Some Japanese reported to our embassy in China that they received anal swab tests, which caused great psychological pain,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said.
It was not known how many Japanese citizens received such tests, he added.
The tests are used on some of those quarantined or entering China, he also said, noting their use “has not been confirmed anywhere else in the world”.
China had not so far responded to the request, he said, adding that the Japanese government had made the request through the embassy in Beijing.
Now China has officially responded….by mandating anal swabs for all foreigners.
China has made anal COVID-19 swabs mandatory for all foreign travelers arriving in the country, a report said Wednesday.
The government has claimed that such tests provides a higher degree of accuracy than other screening methods for the virus, the Times UK reported.
As part of the new travel requirement, there will be testing hubs in Beijing and Shanghai airports, the outlet reported.
Li Tongzeng, a respiratory disease medic, said that the anal swabs are better because virus traces stay longer in fecal samples than they do in the nose or throat, state media reported.
Just a reminder of what China’s anal swab test for COVID looks like.
They have now made it mandatory for every foreign arrival into the country.

Newsweek reported that Beijing, Shanghai, and Qingdao require anal swabs. Shanghai requires the anal test if the person came back “from hotspot regions or when five people on the same plane have tested positive.”
It’s not mandatory all over China, but “it is now common practice.”
If China sank any lower on my travel wish list, it would be in the Marianas Trench.

Hmmm … like we need another reason to not ever want to go there.
Can’t wait for Biden’s first state visit to China now. The official greeting on the red carpet will be quite the scene.
Okay, I lost my coffee laughing at that one!
Images of Winnie the Pooh with his hand in the Biden “hunny pot” come to mind….
Biden will be enjoying the anal swab while Xi simultaneously massages his left and right shoulders.
That’s fine. Then the United States should require the same anal swabs from every Chinese national that enters the country. No exceptions. Pull them aside at the airports, order them to drop their pants and underpants, lean over and spread their cheeks and swab away. No exceptions. Men, women, children all should be required to undergo the indignity of anal swabbing.
And then when the Chinese cry foul, tell them whats good for the goose is also good for the gander.
Even Xi Jinping! I would pay to see that!
With an extra large swab, made just for him.
Hire some Uighurs to do the job. Seems fitting.
Start with China’s diplomats. Have them drop their drawers, bend over and touch their toes, while taking sill or video. Post that to the net.
Like totalitarians everywhere, they’re taking advantage of this situation to humiliate the populace, and remind them who is in control.
I wonder if Americans would just spread their cheeks and take the q-tip ass fucking. Or maybe that would be the proverbial final straw, and the goons would finally get what they deserve. I used to think I knew the answer to that question.
I’ve not noticed a whole lot of American’s drawing the line anywhere. Then again, the people mostly like to not put up with stuff are in areas where we don’t have to put up with it already.
No doubt Chinese open borders activists will provide safe passage for millions to jump the China border into anal swab sanctuary cities. Because Beijing would totally put up with that lawlessness…
Hello what’s your name…Bend Over.
Nice to meet you Ben, my name’s Fletch.
China’s plan for the rest of the world.
A new report from The Intercept presents strong evidence that Mitch McConnell is preparing to leave office before his Senate term expires. Coincidentally or not, this report closely follows release of a report by the Department of Transportation’s Inspector General stating that McConnel’s wife, Elaine Chao, used her office staff to promote her wealthy family’s shipping interests, and could face federal prosecution.
Hence the (1) trashing of Trump and his supporters to suck up to the new regime to try and gain protection from the DOJ, and (2) when that did not work, tack back to Trump so he can cry about a political prosecution.
The only politicians with convictions are in jail.
But it is a political prosecution – not that the couple did not enrich themselves via less than ethical means, but that amongst all the corrupt politicians in DC (Biden and family as prime example), suddenly, they go after him. It’s a dangerous game. He could sing some songs, even with his marble mouthed drawl.
But then their are warnings, like Harry Reid and Mitt Romney getting those black eyes from falling down (didn’t hear about Mitt’s black eye?… hmmmm), to keep him in line. And if he goes after the wrong people, the information will simply be censored out of existence in any event – so, if this is true, unplug the toaster. That piece of bread is done and about to go up in flames.
Oh, and this will be the first of the anti-Republican criminal prosecutions. They will go after Trump and his family. I bet they will draw charges on other Republicans for election fraud or voter suppression, too, to make a case that it’s Republicans who cheat, not Democrats.
china anally raping the world continues.
news at 11.
More confirmation that Earth has been taken over by space aliens who have a fetish for anal probing.
Not the whole Earth. Just China and San Francisco.
It just goes to show the level of respect that the pedophile’s administration really receives. What kind of person just drops their pants to get tested for a respiratory disease?
Anybody who stores their head up… ah, I see what you did there.
So then, 51.3% of the electorate.
Well, less, unless you can anally swab Dominion machines…
“Hold still, white devil, it will be over quickly!”
Chinese imperial governments raised bullying of both foreigners and their own citizens to a fine art several millennia ago. The CCP is simply another imperial regime.
Anal swabs – like face diapers – are primarily a way to humiliate and degrade the proles and remind them who is in charge.
Feature not a bug for the Biden administration.
Bend over Comrade, a second helping of Covid from your good friends China
So anyone wanting to enter China needs to be sodomised first?
Thanks but no thanks I’ll pass on that!
If you’re going to anally swab me for Covid you better be wearing a face shield and protective gear, because there’s a very good chance I’ll fart in your face. I’m an American dammit!
First China gave the world Covid. Now they want us to take it up the ass again.
