US senators propose renaming street outside Chinese embassy after Wuhan whistleblower
Washington street would be rechristened ‘Li Wenliang Plaza’ in honour of medic punished for sounding alarm over dangers of coronavirus
US lawmakers have proposed renaming the street in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington after the late Wuhan doctor punished for warning about the spread of coronavirus, a step sure to outrage Beijing.
The measure would rechristen the section of the Washington street in front of the embassy “Li Wenliang Plaza”, instead of the innocuous current name of International Place.
