As fears of a new coronavirus from China spread around the world, many countries are seeing rising anti-Chinese sentiment.

In this Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020, photo, South Korean protesters stage a rally calling for a ban on Chinese people entering South Korea near the presidential Blue House in Seoul, South Korea. A scary new virus from China has spread around the world. So has rising anti-Chinese sentiment, calls for a full travel ban on Chinese visitors and indignities for Chinese and other Asians. The signs read: "No Entry.

The anti-China sentiments come as a powerful Beijing bolsters its global influence, and China’s rise has caused trade, political and diplomatic disputes with many countries. Deng, who was the only Asian, said the other students began whispering. “They got really tense and they quickly gathered their stuff and just left at the same time.”

France has a significant and growing Asian community, and Chinese visitors are a pillar of the French tourism industry, but old prejudices run deep. A regional newspaper in northern France carried a front-page headline warning of a “Yellow Alert,” and later apologized amid national criticism. On Friday, a cafe near Rome’s Trevi Fountain, a popular tourist site, posted a notice in its window saying “all people coming from China are not allowed access in this place,” according to the Italian news agency ANSA. When AP journalists went there to check on it, the post was no longer in the window.More than 51,000 signatures have appeared on an online petition demanding apologies from Australia’s two biggest-circulation newspapers over their headlines.

Not anti Chinese sentiment, more anti chinese Gov't sentiment. If the chinese government didnt spent almost a month trying to hide it (remember sars guy in an ambulance evading the health inspectors?) And contained it, we wouldn't be facing another deadly flu epidemic.

It's not anti-people- it's anti-Black Plague. That's Y we also need 2 severely limit Ppl fr Nigeria & many other African countries fr coming 2 the US. ONLY Doctors & lawyers should B allowed 2 enter fr Africa. Too much of a Crime threat.

ABC6NEWS yall love spreading fear mongering topics. show some love or get a job Jesus will not show mercy to those aware to their evil traits.

FFS there needs to be a vaccine for ignorance

People don’t need a virus to have anti-Chinese sentiment. Fuck China, pray for the Chinese people.

I see the AP is jumping on the racism train. Strong AF with this article.

SpeakerPelosi 'Fears of new CoronaVirus trigger anti-China sentiment worldwide' Hmmm... Reminds me of the Racist Democrats in 1942 who rounded up anyone with yellow skin & put them in Concentration Camps. How easily Democrats forget don't they?

There is no 'rising anti-Chinese sentiment'.. what a load of bs. People are afraid of the virus and it happened to originate in China. If the virus had originated in France - people would be wary of travel to/from France

Checks AP’s backers… Communist China. Article makes sense now.

You idiots always see the the world as victim and oppressor! Journalism is dead. There should be anti-Chinese sentiment on this issue! It doesn’t mean we hate the Chinese, just how they have handled this issue.

If this not a naturally occurring virus...

...hmmm lemme see. On a national level: as they steal your intellectual property they infect you with a new virus 😒

No, a bat bit the writer.

AP is part of the swamp fake news media

It took a virus Where has everyone been since Tiananmen? The answer to that shows us better on why the world is the way it is

Welp chinese people are kinda racist and rude..... But then IDK, do they actually deserve it?

It's not the virus that's causing anti-China sentiment, it's all the pollution, cyber crime and fentanyl. China is a locust that wants to consume the earth.

I refuse to be kind to the Chinese government. If the Chinese take offence from what I criticise about their government's actions regarding the outbreak, so be it. However I do not target Chinese people, as 99.999999% of the do not CHOOSE to be a disease vector.

Media fearmongering isn't helping AP. This isn't worthy of your front page. How many people have died from the Flu?

mlq3 No Racism? Maybe we start removing Racism on the Bible and Quran! Then, burn all the Flags!

Another left wing rag screaming about racism, so much for impartiality!

People hate the Chinese government, not the people. Learn the different it shouldn’t be that hard

It’s the Kung Flu..

Yankee go home?

That's what happens when your government lies about everything and covers up the extent of the outbreak.

Anti Chinese sentiment is not racist. Especially coming from a country like South Korea. When you have an uncontrollable epidemic from a country with over 1.3 Billion inhabitants, I'm sure you would take extra precautions too. That's 1/7th of the world's population!

They just wanna find oppotunity to stay away from and discriminate Chinese.

Biological Warfare? That it?

Most people show the attitude because they are afraid of being infected, they worry about their health. But someone have other ambitions(political purpose).

What's really going on? Incredible footage from fangbin ,he visited the 3 hospital's risking his life. Watch the video. wuhan coronovirusoutbreak Coronarivus

During my travel at Amsterdam Airport last Friday I partly witnessed a quarrel between several persons. Later I learned that such had been caused through rude behavior against a group of Asians by 1 of them (shouting “Yellow Coronas” -🙄😔 - unbelievable!)

At last a horribly cultured lot

My question that I have raised in my mind is with all those flights of Chinese coming into the United States each day why do they not have more control over them for Chinese spies at the minimum?

Says you

Natures way of stemming

China did a much better job than any of the Western Countries would have done! We remember AIDS CRISIS very vividly

No one likes communist Chinese.

We do not like the coronavirus in our shores anymore than China does not want it in theirs. Please do your best to be kind to China since instead of joy they have grief at this important time in their life. We can guess many of them saved for their trip home.

Anti Chinese has long started with Trump regime, flu or not.

It is sad because it happened during a very important traditional Chinese celebration. Aside from threat of coronavirus, the people also have to contend with its financial impact on their lives.

but not in the philippines where our president is willing to sacrifice the health and safety of his people for his chinese friends. thats why we cry OUSTDUTERTE2020

Stupid people tend to be racist.

no u..

C_Coolidge Well this is a bit stupid. I see the logic of quarantining arrivals from China, but not of hating Chinese people as PEOPLE.

Let’s BLOW IT WAY OUT! I’m not a racist against the Chinese.. but.. ya know let’s switch the saying around.. sometimes its BETTER TO SAY SOMETHING.. rather than saying NOTHING!! Another distraction.. not taking away from the seriousness..

And that's a very foolish and fearful response of people. Its wrong to attack the average folks in China, whom didn't ask to be infected with this virus, and its definitely wrong to be attacking our fellow Americans.

Oh, look. Raceclick bait.

The way you use your words matter and you know it.

Can't be. Dems and 'news' media have assured us that all things bad are Russian.

Maybe if they wouldn’t put people in rehabilitation camps there will be less “anti-Chinese” sentiment...

Anti Chinese government. They’re lying.

No, we just don’t understand living with a zoo and eating all the displays.

I'm sure most following this situation for the last few weeks are horrified at what those in Wuhan, and now greater China, are facing. There are really no words to describe how awful this situation is, thus fearing its spread is legitimate.

I can’t imagine why.

Propaganda

Do they even make anything there?

The world should not do that I feel they were not quick in quarantine their people but in a disease we should help them On other issues I feel they are a dangerous country in many ways?

Anti-chinese sentiment? Or thirsty press capitalizing on claims of racism for clicks?

What do the flu, SARS, and coronavirus all have in common? That's right, they all originated in China.

DONG!

china has not been honest from the beginning , getting factual data from China is like trying to nail jello to a wall. Stop sticking head in sand and be proactive it’s NOVEL not just the flu so prepare for worst protect USA CDCgov HHSGov SecAzar

This is am example of the media being devisive.

Thankfully, China is halfway across the world.

You are stirring up tensions out of thin air. fakenewsmedia manipulation jewry

I knew morons would make this outbreak into a race thing.

They've gone batty! 🦇🦇🦇

It's not anti-Chinese, it's anti-coronavirus! That developed and started spreading in China. Nobody cares about discriminating the Chinese. Everybody cares about not contracting a virus nobody knows enough about. Stop putting political correctness ahead of people's lives!

And there is a reason for this

Wrong.

There are scientific papers being circulated about this virus being created and the subsequent vaccine...what say you ? (Do you people research anything?)

You are stirring up tensions out of nothing fakenews manipulation jewry

You keep ratcheting up the hysteria level in your stories, then report on the “fear” the disease is causing.

I guess people aren't happy about dangerous eating habits of other people putting their families and the world at risk. Who would have guessed.

You mean like why are Asian men so bad in bed that they feel it’s necessary to eat some disgusting infected shit to enhance their performance? 😂

Not anti-Chinese, just anti-Bat Soup Fever.

🙄AP PROJECTING.

This is the fault of the Chinese government.

Hopefully Trump planning A visit 😜

Newsflash...it didn’t start with coronavirus.

Uh huh.

Isn’t AP owned by the Rothchilds?

Anti-Chinese GOVERNMENT maybe, not anti-Chinese.

FakeNews I’m sitting here with my Asian wife and she just became a trump supporter

Jesus h Christ what’s worst coronavirus or liberalvirus

More like people don't want to catch that shit.

No, just stop eating dogs and bats

No one believes this

Sounds like bull. People are more critical of how the government is handling it.

I thought this was CNN. AP is posting dumbshit now?

Everyone is rrrrrrrraaaaaaccccissssttttt!!!!!!!)

I bet if you actually asked the Chinese citizens of those countries they would say they don't know what the lying press is talking about.

If only Antifa was in China.....

Enemy of the people, devicive

Anti China government is not Anti Chinese I think only the Philippines made a bad remark and quickly retracted If America let loose a bio weapon damn skippy the world would be Anti USA, including Americans

GTFO

So open your arms to a deadly virus that originated from China or else you're anti-Chinese? What as load of crap from this fake news Network. The associated depress should have all their journalists and family members do a month long special right from ground zero in China.

Thats the stuff that is not right or welcomed regarding the Sentiment context

I recommend alsondo segment on how reporters were banned from investigating what was happening in Wuhan weeks before it became global new. Local news outlets has spoken about the blockage which could have made world aware. Also stay toon for the H5n1 coming out from there.

If you’re gonna eat bats and raccoons, known vectors of disease, then of course it’s going to give rise to anti-Chinese sentiment - because these folk eat anything that moves. It’s ridiculous.

The Chinese are censoring the press that actually dare to print the real numbers of the death toll in China; but this is your angle? China government news agency = Associated Press.

So my guess is the Left is going to get the cornavirus just to show they aren't racist

Like we didn’t see that coming.

Dutert-Teh (The Chinese lapdog) to blame.

Unfortunately the a and b is much more deadly in the us but a lot of people aren’t getting the flu shot.

Certainly Unfortunate. Can only hope signs of containment works. Is effective. Places this among controlled.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yoooouuuuuuuuuu. Bring them in your closed off world AP. The rest of the planet should perpetrate a manmade weaponized virus to avoid being called a name.

Seriously?! I expected better from AP. Insinuating it’s racist to be legitimately concerned about a potential pandemic by a virus originating in China.

Bullshit.

The government structure and culture there is conducive to producing health epidemics

Calm down everybody it's the first time a virus has come out of China.... Oh wait

Ebola 2014 all over again

Shocked. The media spread the panic.

It was always there

The world don't have other choice.

good

No one saw that coming...

Chinese government is pure evil. Chinese people are their victims.🗿

Oh fun, more racism.

DUH! I don't want ANY Chinese people around me...

Imagine thinking not wanting to get sick is racist.

So fucked up. Expect a ripple effect on Asia

If you’ve been paying any attention at all, you’d know that China is a totalitarian dictatorship. This is just another example.

Well, they do have to quit eating weird shit
