‘If the Pentagon ordered pizza and DF-61s simultaneously, the DF-61s would arrive first,’ netizen says, referring to Chinese missiles
On Wednesday afternoon, Yuyuan Tantian, a social media account affiliated with China’s state broadcaster CCTV, released a video saying customer traffic data from Domino’s near the Pentagon was more than four times its usual level around 9pm, and at the nearby Papa John’s restaurant it had tripled at the same time.
“Coincidentally, the surge in orders at both pizza shops coincided precisely with the commencement of China’s military parade,” Yuyuan Tantian said.

The remark highlights how much attention Beijing’s grand military parade – which commemorated the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan in World War II – received in the US, including from its president and defence department.
