Today Africans in Guangzhou are demonised – but the roots of this prejudice go back centuries, says the journalist and author Hsiao-Hung Pai

“Clean up the foreign trash!”. “Don’t turn our hometown into an international rubbish dump.” “This is China, not Nigeria!” Resembling the anti-migrant racist hatred you frequently see on UK social media, these are just a few examples of countless anti-African rants from Weibo users in China in a surge of popular racism over the past month.

This is not the time for finger pointing and blaming. We need to work together to beat the COVID-19. Governments are trying to blame other countries to hide their own failures. But global unity is what we need to control this virus.

curiocat13 Bloody Boris has no credibility. To announce late on Saturday that he's going back to work on Monday. No mention of this during the uk government daily update when it gave the uk hospital only death toll at over 20000. The lord protector Dominic Cummings is well served by Boris.

Now this:

Double standards

Wonders of intersectionality. A Bolshevik rag like the Guardian is now obliged to call out China for its racism thus defying a fundamental revolutionary mantra of their movement that only white people can be racist because blacks score higher on the victim scale than the Chinese.

If you’ve ever met any mainland Han Chinese, this article won’t come as a surprise

It would seem people don’t know anything about Chinese history or culrure. The people of Han and those who aren’t. And on and on for centuries. We don’t need to explore. They’ll all come to us the center and best of everything.

Taiwan people have never had a problem supporting Chinese racism against blacks. Like the students that rioted in Beijing in 1989.

No one shows the non racist side in media of course. And has it not also exposed racism towards anyone with Asian descent? Are we to shun others for anti-Chinese Americans? Or British Chinese? That occurred prior the Covid19 or during? Same goes

This pandemic should be a time to reflect on how we should act in solidarity not against each other.

Racism is happening throughout everywhere. I agree that it is disgusting that any form of racism is happening, however, we also can’t look at it from one angle only.

Anti China propaganda from a Taiwan sock puppet.

What makes things worse is that some but not ALL refused to cooperate with the police during the breakout of coronavirus. They were forced to move out, not attacked, no one injured or died

一等东亚二等绿,三等黑人四等白。如你所愿

Nonsense, who does n’t know that racism is a specialty of Europe and America

totally insane discriminations for extremely illogical reason. i think ccp’d keep silently allowing that to put its ppl’s attentions incl. fears n anger toward anything other than ccp n its mismanagement.

Took people a while... plenty of Japanese and Koreans do the same kind of thing but all the tourists are happy 'because they smile' lmao

Too late Guardian. You've been told to mention this for weeks but swept it under the carpet.

They believe they are the original Master Race.

Better use your political correctness at the right place like 🇨🇳. Rather than overdoing it in the west 🤗

God, it’s been a months already since my black friend was apologized for mistakenly quarantined. Everyone has moved on.

A country which is accusing others of being racist is racist too. China is quite funny.😂😂

Exactly I don't have to like a country with a horrible culture, killing animals. And they're guilty of billions of people dying today all over the world.

There are a few reasons for this. 1) extreme jingoism, fueled by the CCP. 2) basically no structural education on race issues, unlike the US. 3) extreme capitalism, creating a culture of selfish isolation. There are ways to address this, when as a people China faces the problem.

Razy lacism.

which they deny..

When working in Macau, was shocked at how racist the locals were towards Filipinos. Even among those you'd think were educated.

Fake news foreigners’level is higher than native Chinese,you should check chinese policy.the guardian

MiaSipar Save soul please 🙏😭 First Bank Account name. Christopher Onah Ekpo. Account no. 3150947601

And what country are you living in? How many aboriginals were killed by the white man? Racism is alive and well here in Australia

It was out in the open the whole time, you just choose to ignore it, like the racism in your own country... and mine.

Shame to the African governments who sell their people to these racist Chinese people. Shame on them.

What went wong ?
