China’s handling of COVID-19 and other outbreaks is a tricky business politically—especially when it comes to foreigners.
In late September, Zunyou Wu, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told citizens to avoid contact with foreigners, who have already left the country in large numbers, to stop the spread of monkeypox. Wu’s now-edited Weibo post came a day after China’s first case of monkeypox had been confirmed.
In light of these comments, users on Douyin, the Chinese and separate version of TikTok, are taking note.
“Stay far away from foreigners—cherish your life”, one user from Guangxi wrote.… Seguir leyendo »
When word began circulating on social media and in group chats in mid-September that one of China’s top health officials was warning citizens to avoid physical contact with foreigners as a precaution against monkeypox, the news hit me with an unshakable anxiousness.
The recommendation was the first of five issued by Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in response to mainland China’s first monkeypox case in the southwestern municipality of Chongqing.
Wu blasted the advice out to his nearly half a million followers on Weibo, China’s heavily censored version of Twitter, and it was quickly picked up and further publicized by state-backed media outlets.… Seguir leyendo »
A finales del siglo XIX, más de 100.000 chinos vivían en las Filipinas españolas. Esta comunidad aportó figuras notables a la economía, la política y las artes del archipiélago. Sus éxitos provocaron la aparición de sentimientos sinófobos. Se manifestaron en peticiones de expulsión de los chinos o de limitación de su número. El racismo jugó un papel clave en esta campaña antinmigración.
Colaboradores del Diario de Manila como Pablo Feced labraron carreras denostando a los chinos. A su juicio, China era “un inmenso pudridero que irradia podredumbre” (12-7-1889). Feced también publicó el libro Filipinas: esbozos y pinceladas (1888), donde describe las “viviendas hediondas” del barrio chino de Manila como “centros de infección”.… Seguir leyendo »
“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.
Despite the huge amount of censorship on China’s social media, none of these posts have been removed. Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have become the primary target of suspicion, racial discrimination and abuse amid public fear of a second wave of Covid-19. And this intolerance has peaked in Guangzhou, a city of 12 million people in the highly industrialised Guangdong province.… Seguir leyendo »
In early April, the director-general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, accused Taiwan of launching a “campaign” of racist attacks against him. “When the whole black community was insulted, when Africa was insulted, then I don’t tolerate it”, he said, adding, “people are crossing the line”. (The Taiwanese heatedly denied Tedros’s claim.)
Meanwhile, in a devastatingly ironic overlap, many in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou have decided to blame the thousands of Africans living there for spreading the novel coronavirus. Some restaurants barred black people, while officials forced black people into more onerous quarantines than Chinese and white foreigners — including occasionally confiscating passports — regardless of where they’ve recently traveled.… Seguir leyendo »
It didn’t take long before India’s response to the coronavirus was tainted by the kind of discrimination and Islamophobia that has characterized the nationalist administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The hashtags #CoronaJihad and #BioJihad have inundated Twitter recently. It all stems from cases of covid-19 reported at a Muslim event.
On Sunday, the Indian government linked more than a thousand cases to the Tablighi Jamaat, a Muslim missionary group that held its annual meeting in a community center in Nizamuddin from March 8-10, days before India declared a health emergency and called for a national lockdown. While most people, including Muslims, agree that holding the annual meeting was irresponsible and endangered many lives, the event has faced a disproportional amount of criticism while generating a cascade of vitriol.… Seguir leyendo »
At a middle school a few blocks from my house, a rumor circulated among the children that all Asian kids have the coronavirus and should be quarantined. Misinformation has also reached higher education: In college campuses across the United States, some non-Asian students have acknowledged avoiding Asian classmates for no other reason than, well, the coronavirus came from Asia.
The disease apparently emerged in December from a live-food market in Wuhan, China. There have been over 20,000 confirmed cases in China, and the World Health Organization reported 146 confirmed cases in 23 other countries. There are serious concerns of a global pandemic, but the coronavirus has also reawakened centuries-old prejudices against Chinese people.… Seguir leyendo »
Festooned with red lanterns and banners bearing auspicious messages, the ornate façade of the 19th-century Thian Hock Keng temple in downtown Singapore seems even more flamboyant than usual. The temple is readying itself for its busiest time of the year: Over the next few weeks thousands of worshipers will make offerings and pray for a favorable Chinese New Year. It’s a time when even the least conscientious of temple-goers, like me, make an effort to maintain the customs that link them to their heritage.
Such a classically Chinese setting may seem an unlikely place to start questioning one’s traditions, but to be in Singapore today means to challenge conventional ideas of Chineseness.… Seguir leyendo »
Race is an insensitive issue in China. The sighting of someone who is not of the majority Han race does not stop conversation here, but sparks comments of all sorts – of surprise, wonder, bewilderment and defensiveness. Being cautious about what one says about colour or heritage in China is seen as silly and blinded.
That is not to say that talking about race in China is a dialogue suffused with respect. For example, during the late summer, Luo Jing, a resident of Shanghai of mixed-race descent (her father an African-American, her mother is Chinese) appeared on a television talent show that was seen across China.… Seguir leyendo »
