A dessert shop in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, has sparked widespread outrage after using the recent 5.2 magnitude earthquake in neighboring Liuzhou as a social media marketing gimmick.

On Tuesday, the store posted a slogan reading: "What arrived earlier than May 20 was the tremor from the 5.2 magnitude Liuzhou earthquake," triggering fierce backlash online. May 20, or "520", is popularly associated with romance in China because the numbers sound similar to the Mandarin phrase for "I love you".

不少网友愤怒表示,毫无底线!

Many netizens condemned the post as "Utterly shameless!" and accused the business of exploiting a natural disaster for commercial gain.
