A tweet from Northern Ireland Member of Parliament Chris Hazzard expressing solidarity with China has prompted a backlash.
On Saturday the South Down Sinn From Party MP tweeted that it was "great to see President Xi has announced the end of absolute poverty in China this week".
"China has spent more than ¥1.6trillion in this historic endeavour including 10million new homes & 25million renovated homes," the tweet read.
"Xi has vowed now to eradicate health inequalities #Solidarity."
Hazzard's tweet drew a backlash critical of his decision to show support for the oppressive Chinese regime, which has been accused of a litany of human rights abuses.
