RACISM FOR SALE SUSPECT, SUSU, ARRESTED

 

Days after BBC Eye released a documentary concerning a Chinese Citizen who had been misusing Malawian children for his own gain, the Malawian government finally was able to arrest the man behind the videos earlier yesterday.

Susu which is a Chinese word that meant uncle was the name Lu Ke used while in Malawi to conceal his identity. Lu Ke was arrested yesterday after the department of immigration and citizenship service spokesman, Pasqually Zulu confirmed the matter saying Lu Ke was arrested in neighboring Zambia.

The embassy of China in Malawi earlier posted on Twitter saying, The embassy noted with great concern the video racism for sale. We strongly condemn racism in any form, by anyone, or happening anywhere. We also noted the video was shot in 2020. It shall be stressed that the Chinese government has zero-tolerance for racism.”

Last week Chinese diplomat Wu Peng said that he had discussed the matter with the Malawian Foreign Minister. “China has been cracking down on those unlawful online accts in the past years. We will continue to crack down on such racial discrimination videos in the future.” He said.

Lu Ke had earlier been producing videos while in Malawi. He used to take Malawi children and make them chant words in Chinese that they did not understand the meaning. He would make them stand in rows and take videos of them shouting the words. One specific video that caught the attention of many was a video made in February 2020 where Lu Ke made the children shout, “I am a black Monster. My IQ is low. Yeah,” all this in Chinese. He would make them repeat over and over.

After the account where the videos would get posted got investigated, it was realized that Lu Ke would take up to 380 videos in a day. He would sell the videos back to China for Chinese citizens to post on their social media pages. Most of the videos were found on a social media platform called “Jokes about black people club,” He would sell his videos for 30-70 US dollars. Lu Ke claimed that the reason behind him making the videos was for the purpose of spreading Chinese culture to Africans. A statement that was found hilarious since the children he claimed to be teaching the language had not learned even how to talk in Chinese after all those series of training.

Pasqually Zulu who is the migrations spokesman from Malawi has said that they are now liaising with China so as a Chinese National be sent to Malawi for the investigation to continue.
