Pokemon Psyduck becomes symbol of China’s lockdown headaches
A headache-prone Pokemon character given away in KFC children’s meals has become China’s most wanted toy, selling for up to $200, as people seek ways to express their frustrations over COVID-19 lockdowns. KFC began handing out Psyduck in China on May 21, ahead of a promotion for Children’s Day on June 1, and the toy has become a focal point for social media users angered by weeks of lockdown. On another social media platform Xiaohongshu, a clipping of the figure holding up stickers reading “health code” and “travel history code” was liked by nearly 10,000 viewers.
