Footage of a Moscow Medical Center Visit Goes Viral in Chinese Social Media
Putin's Umbrella Gesture Sparks Viral Debate on Chinese Social Media
A short video featuring Vladimir Putin and Tatyana Golikova has unexpectedly gone viral across Chinese social media platforms. Users are actively sharing the clip and discussing the moment when the Russian president holds an umbrella over the deputy prime minister during inclement weather.
Judging by the posts, the reaction has been largely emotional. Commenters say the gesture sets an example for men.
"If even Putin holds an umbrella, then ordinary people have no excuse not to," users note.
Some responses go further, calling Putin a charismatic and confident leader.
The incident took place in Moscow during a visit to the Pirogov National Medical Research Center. As wet snow fell, the president opened an umbrella to shield Golikova. The footage was first posted by Kremlin pool journalist Alexander Yunashev before quickly spreading beyond Russia.
Earlier reports noted that Putin had supported the leader of Congo after a document slipped from his hands during a meeting at the Kremlin. The Russian president reassured his counterpart with a smile, saying, "No problem, it's okay."
