Iranian embassy in Beijing issues statement after flooded with calls from citizens and businesses offering to donate money


Per Grok: Yes, it’s true. The Iranian Embassy in China posted this on their official Weibo account on March 4, 2026—a 1960s Chinese children’s song “美国佬是强盗” (The American is a Robber).

Full lyrics translation from the audio:
“The American is a robber. Smiles on his face, big knife behind his back. Sees good things, wants them all! Can’t get it? He robs. Seizes land, occupies houses. Kills and burns everything. Ambition bigger than the sky. Wants to drag Earth home!”

The viral video is a reaction clip with English subs overlaying the song on US-related footage. It spread quickly on Chinese social media for matching current events.

Iran thanks Chinese public after US-Israeli air strikes prompt online wave of sympathy

Embassy in Beijing says Iran sincerely grateful to ‘the civilised and righteous Chinese people’ but financial aid not needed for now

The deadly US-Israeli military strikes on Iran have triggered an outpouring of public sympathy and support in China, with many social media users condemning the attacks and discussing ways to help.
The Iranian embassy in China thanked the “righteous” Chinese public on Thursday for their support, but said it was not accepting financial help from Chinese individuals and organisations for now.

“The embassy would like to express its sincere gratitude to the civilised and righteous Chinese people,” the mission said in a statement on its official social media account.

“Guided by humanitarian compassion, you chose righteousness and stood in solidarity with the Iranian people, strongly condemning the brutal attacks launched by the United States and Israel against Iranian children and civilians. We will always cherish this bond of friendship.”
