Chinese opera singer faces backlash for performing in war-torn Ukrainian theater

Chinese opera singer Wang Fang is facing severe criticism for her controversial performance in a theater in Mariupol, Ukraine, that was previously bombed by Russian forces.

The theater had been a refuge for civilians, and the Russian attack resulted in the deaths of over 600 people, mainly women and children.

Fang’s performance of the Soviet-era song “Katyusha” was met with immediate backlash from Ukrainian officials.
