Wuhan jiayou means something like "Wuhan, stay strong!" It's the slogan for supporting the city where the novel coronavirus has affected the most people as they work to tame it. But it may have an additional, darker resonance. The quarantine-happy Chinese government seems prepared to sacrifice Wuhan (and indeed the entire province of Hubei) for the safety of the rest of the country, and is busy reminding folks that that accepting that kind of sacrifice is what Chinese culture is all about.
