People in China have been urged not to have "skin-to-skin" contact with strangers.abc.net.au/news/china-monkeypox-foreigners-skin-to-skin-contact/101454382A senior Chinese health official has advised people to avoid physical contact with foreigners to prevent possible monkeypox infection after the first known case of the virus on mainland China was reported on Friday.
"To prevent possible monkeypox infection and as part of our healthy lifestyle, it is recommended that … you do not have direct skin-to-skin contact with foreigners," Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention posted on his official Weibo page on Saturday. Mr Wu also called for people to avoid contact with people who had been abroad in the past three weeks, as well as all "strangers".
"It is necessary and very important to strengthen the surveillance and prevention of monkeypox epidemic at the social level," he wrote. His post was widely shared across social media over the weekend, but the comments section under his initial post were disabled on Sunday and in the early hours of Monday in Beijing.Some, who commented on forwarded or screenshot versions of his post, questioned why foreigners in China, many of whom are long-term residents and have not left recently due to COVID-19 barriers, were considered more dangerous than locals.
wow, the ABC has gone full tilt to the right
Lmao
Why only foreigners!
I assume it’s still okay to eat bat sandwiches?
Yet not a word from TheirABC about the Monkeypox VaccineStrollout by their lefty posterchild AirbusAlbo auspol
'Monkeypox case prompts warning for Chinese men to avoid 'skin-to-skin contact' with foreign men.' Fixed it.
Butt Pox 😂
No sucky suck round eye!!!!!
Didn't know they had gay people in China.
Avoid man on man
1 in 6 is Chinese, and given their current government most Chinese will never see a foreigner in person……think about it.
So the Chinese (laboratory creators) who gave the world COVID-19, now say to avoid foreigners?! How hypocritical, xenophobic and racist. F*ck China 🖕
Just when I thought the queen had gotten rid of this bs.....these clowns bring it back.
Imagine China was honest about covid at the start. Now millions are dead and the world economy destroyed. Question is why is the world silent in the origins. Really makes you realise it was likely a planned event.
Racists.
Facts maybe unfair unwanted & not pleasant, but they're still facts.
That sounds a *little* xenophobic but given it is China issuing the advice it will pass without controversy.

Monkeypox: don’t touch foreigners, says China health chief, as first case reportedOfficial Wu Zunyou also called for people to avoid ‘skin-to-skin contact’ with those who had been abroad recently, as well as ‘strangers’ According to the CCP China does not have my gay people so Monkey Pox is no problem for them. I worked in the HIV sector 20 years ago in Beijing. Back in that time HIV and STIs were viewed as brought to China by foreigners. I worked with this person and am surprised he said this. I hope the translation of his words are correct.

Taiwan lessons for China in UkraineOPINION: By backing away from Russia’s invasion, China should also be backing away from any similar authoritarian overreach against independent and democratic Taiwan. Oh, I don't know about that. As my father used to say, Do as I say, not what I do! It's called hypocrisy That's stupid. Taiwan is China. What don't you understand? No. I think they just figure the timing's not right. they need to go off, study US intel capabilities and come up with a plan. taiwan is still on the menu. Xi's not getting any younger.

This isn't news, there is no war between the US and China. This is speculative propaganda. Pure shit.
