China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has advised the public to avoid travelling to Australia, citing racial discrimination and violence against Chinese people in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asians of various backgrounds have said they have been harassed since the outbreak of the coronavirus, including in the United States.
As spoken by the worst racists on the planet.
Only Chinese people are discriminated against. Not Asian.
That is so inciting and wrong yes there is stupid elements on our streets but our law is there to protect all
Seriously? Who’s travelling and flying around on grounded planes 🤷🏻♂️ head scratcher..
As spoken by the worst racists on the planet.
Really I guess I haven’t been out much...
I don’t believe racism towards asians is really that big a deal, it’s the people that are always scheming and scamming, but not just asians, it seems a lot of it comes from people who grew up in poverty, which is a lot of asians and indians, the distrust has increased.
Oh for God’s sake! What next? Is this to take attention off the virus they manufactured. I truly believe it came from the Wuhan lab. Truth will come out eventually! WuhanLab Chinesevirus coronavirusaustralia ChineseVirus
I feel that too. Frankly, we were thinking moving out Ashfield before Covid for my daughter’s schilling. Now, we decided to stay in Ashfield simply bcs there are lots of asians here and we feel safe. But I’m still confident in Aussies in terms of diversity and inclusion.
superathlete9 This man and his war monger hawks are racists and responsible
So get them all to return to China. 1.2 Million of them. No Worries!.
Truth is the CCP are really pissed of at new foreign ownership legislation.
Good revenue hit but so will they. We don’t want to deal with bullies Australia did fine without china 20 years ago we will again. China doesn’t want their citizens coming here and finding out the truth of what the CCP did that’s why. Desperate to save the regime
This tweet is from the Chinese propaganda machine modelled after Hitler’s Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda minister, whose doctrine was to keep repeating lies till some people start believing. BEWARE EVERY STATEMENT FROM CHINA IS A LIE.!,,!
I do not deny there is discrimination but this statement from China is a blatant lie. As tension continues to mount, China is trying to punish Australia. It only makes Australians more determined to pursue China de-coupling.
Seems aussies ran out of aboriginals
georgeginis Asians are always racist toward other Asians anywhere if one Asian has more round eyes, more assimilated, and especially has blended into their surroundings.
As an Australian Chinese, CCP doesn’t care our lives, they just want to threaten and show their power
Not where I live
I would like to see the data on this increase in incidents, but regardless it's never been more important for Australia to understand how racism is pervasive here. China also has its own problems of racsim that it needs to critique as openly.
That's ok we didn't want COVID-19 4.0 anyway 🤔
Appeasing the Chinese Communist Party would be a big mistake. Australia should take this opportunity to diversify all of its markets away from reliance on the coercive dictatorship in Beijing. The CCP is the party of Han racism, so don’t mind their crocodile tears too much.
Why is there a plane everyday from Guangzhou to Sydney
PROPAGANDA ‼️It is now time for the world to UNITE and put an end to CHINAS CCP-It is without doubt the worlds greatest threat to all living things-It cares nothing for the Enviroment or life within it-It is the most destructive “VIRUS” of them all-Lest we forget ⚖️🇦🇺⚖️🇦🇺👁👁
It’s sad to see so many Australians who are oblivious to racism. This is only because they’re not at the receiving end of it. Look at the comment section, it’s like a mirror reflecting the amount of ppl who lack education.
Be tougher to the Chinese government please
China is a uncivilized country BoycottChina
One sees busloads of Chinese tourists, in busses with Chinese drivers, visiting Chinese restaurants Chinese operated gift stores...
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME TOO DEPENDENT ON ONE COUNTRY FOR TRADE AND TOURISM!
Unfortunately Chinese Australians have been discriminated against because of virus.
Good. Let's keep our resources at home then and live with a smaller economy. Perhaps we could learn to make stuff again
This is against many reports by foreigners working in China, of menacing racism against them. People fearful for their safety, are asking companies to send them home. Just ask major German companies with offices in China.
China common tactic of weaponising tourism.
Perspective: RIO Tinto just destroyed Aboriginal heritage to supply iron ore for China.
I wasn't aware we had opened the country for anyone to come in yet? But they're not wrong, there were numerous times this week that I witnessed where asian people were discriminated against in person, and then there's the people on social media which have exploded in numbers...
It’s true and it’s a shame. They loved us and were spending massively. We can’t even see the hypocrisy of us criticising them while our own government bans protests (only some protests)
Chinese govt aren't wrong though. In the past three months I've seen Asian getting assaulted in Australia more than any other places.
What a load of rubbish, China is racist towards Australia and all Australians.
Thanks for covering up the virus n spread to the whole world...they made Asians become the victims of racism n suppressing the West by its economic power which go against its will! CCP_is_terrorist StandWithHongKong StandwithUyghurs
Kling kwai ring a bell Both sides are racist.
China has made Australia a prison due to weak leaders . You don’t have to worry China , you have locked our borders .
Any comparisons between numbers of PRC tourists here & Aus tourists to China? I think a vast majority of both groups would reflect on how similar people are, good & bad, some prejudiced, some nationalistic or nativist, most welcoming & friendly. Xenophobia is a virus. Govt spat?
There has been an increase in racism towards Asian people, but; China is doing everything in its power to deflect their incompetence at the way they initially handled the outbreak of Covid-19.... COVIDー19 china
lucky China is still supporting the Australian economy
I've seen it also. The pot should tell the kettle they're both out of water. Playing the racial card only inflames the situation, dare I say it 'on both sides'.
lol
Communist Party announcements paid for by Australian taxpayers.
Racism is as Australian as football, meat pies and Holden cars.
The only racist here is China.
Yes don’t come here to Australia! Stay where it’s best suit you - Chinasbsnewschinesenews
I've lived in Australia for over 17 years. lots of racists here.
BlackLivesMatter because they fight for the rights. Chinese/Asian ain’t as we keep silence all the time. Respect and fair do not come from white supremacy naturally.
The racism is real- especially in China where a million uyghur are in death camps... this is nothing more than communist propaganda and bullying.
Rubbish
Stupid warming considering our borders are closed 👍
I hold the media of Australia responsible for the racist narratives. Instead of genuine contestation and valid investigations we get people copying the press release of neo fascists like that’s what they are paid to do. Honestly. Trained monkeys would do it better.
Ok, didn't Chinese people migrate to Australia and other countries to get away from the Communist Chinese Government. Maybe you should search the answer for that within the Australian Chinese community then realise the Chinese Government are full of lies.
They’re totally wong about that.
It's completely understandable considering that the virus was made in a chinese lab, exported all over the world while the CCP were trying to cover it up & they still deny's it.
Nobody can deny what China said is true!
Propaganda.
Chinese are humble people. They help Australia with oriental foods and women of the night!
Another targeted strike at the Australian economy. Chinese tourism is a big revenue raiser for the hospitality industry, ScottyFromMarketting can discuss how to fix at G7 plus a few more with BunkerBoyTrump.
This is a result of ABC's and SBS's beat-up articles about racism in Australia. You lot did your best to paint Australia racist and this is what happens.
I've seen it myself. I'm a flight attendant, I've seen crew & passengers targeted for being Asian. It's not just Australians doing it either.
What a load of rubbish. Maybe Australia should retaliate a bit. Maybe stop the huge dairy farms they now own in Australia from getting the powdered milk from getting back to China. Just a small blockade.
Nothing to do with racism. More about the fact that the government announced they won't be able to buy the whole country and influence key assets like ports and network.
Look who is complaining , biggest racists in Australia they hate all of us black white great or blue 😂
Thank the Communist party for doing this to its people.
Absolutely madness.
Finally get a prawn now at the city buffet 👍👍
Coming from China the most racist country in the world
China is using any excuse towards us ...because they know they have to do a deal with America..that's it and they know it...So they will use any thing to take our farming and mining industry out of the picture If you don't think so your stupid...we are in the middle of this trade
Read these comments I understand why they don’t want to come Australia is too racist!
From one of the most racist countries on the planet.
I guess that means Chinese tour bookings are at risk for the next 12 months. Oh wait, there aren’t any for the foreseeable future
With any luck they’ll sell up and go home and stay there until they get rid of the CCP
The Chinese seem to fanning flames of division between Australia and China.
I have not seen any violence or racism towards any of the Asian ppl in my community, so no idea where this load of croc is coming from
danilic No room for tribalism in the midst of a global pandemic. That being said, the Chinese government is currently holding over one million human beings in concentration camps. It executes thousands of human beings every year. It steals dissenters away to never be seen again.
MarisePayne your doing a bang up job in the diplomacy stakes.
I didn’t know there was a place to report racism... being born here and ‘not quite white’ I’ve had some unpleasant experiences which I never knew I could report.
Very few people want to acknowledge the truth that racism towards Asians has increased post-COVID—and that it hasn’t gone unnoticed in Asia. Pointing out China’s hypocrisy and human rights record doesn’t change that.
Asked PeterDutton_MP for another comment? I'm sure we could get yet another escalation in this childish tit for tat. It's taken a few years but the US are finally driving that wedge between us and China they've been longing to do for so long.
Smh this is a huge BS from china, nice try!!
People are friendly, but you medias have been hostile. My 8 years old son recently asked me if the coronavirus was red, I asked him why, he told me all newspapers or TV showed a red background against the virus. mediaisvirus
Good.Apart from (hopefully) the fact Australia won't allow entry atm bcause of COVID19 Chinese should just travel domestically&just annoy the Tibetans&Yighurs instead of the whole world for the time being SBSNews auspol
If by violence they mean the support for blocking Chinese made products getting around social media then yes, I am. BoycottChina
CCP’s propaganda
Chinese propaganda, but it will have welcoming results !
How are the Uyghur doing ?
So Hong Kong riots don't count?
.I've seen some myself! People telling at, abusing and harassing Asian people in my neighborhood. Never seen anything like this until recently
Might as well accept that they will punish Australia to get back at USA.. Stand up Australia. Please don't give in... there is loads of support for you, only if you ask your friends.. we stand with you
Acts of violence towards chinese? Really? They must be talking about what happens in the baby formula supermarket aisles.
Chinese have never felt safe in Australia since Gold Field violence.
Sure sbs. Well stop posting lies in the media. Show the black on white crime
😆 nice try China
