China's propaganda-fueled newspaper, the Global Times, mocked San Francisco's "Miraculous" cleanup of the city's ongoing homeless problem ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

More from the Global Times: The so-called San Francisco's "Problem of the century" of the homeless miraculously disappeared overnight as the city prepares for the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
Chinese netizens joked online that the "About-face change" of San Francisco's clean street and the disappearance of homeless people demonstrate the city has the ability to address the malaise but only seems willing to do so when an international summit is approaching rather than for the sake of its own people.
According to media reports, the real concern for San Francisco residents is why the government can solve century-old problems that have plagued the city for the president but cannot solve these problems for ordinary people.
"In China, we already have clean and safe cities. So what we do is a little bit of cleanup. But the U.S. has pulled out all of its strength; not only did it remove the homeless, but it also covered graffiti and cleaned the rubbish-covered road. I thought they did not care," said a Sina Weibo netizen.
Gov. Gavin Newsom admitted that Jinping's visit was the only reason the city saw a massive cleanup of homeless.
