#1 From Quartz Africa on the subject:

While many African students and other migrants were keen to leave China at the start of the outbreak, many others decided to stay and take their chances on the Chinese health authorities being best placed to cope with the outbreak than the underfunded health systems in their countries.

But this week, five Nigerians reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 in the southern city of Guangzhou. According to state media, the men broke quarantine and frequented a restaurant where they infected its owner, who then passed the virus on to her eight-year-old daughter.

These reports seem to be what has sparked the current wave of suspicion and anti-foreigner sentiment in the city. “I’ve been sleeping under the bridge for four days with no food to eat… I cannot buy food anywhere, no shops or restaurants will serve me,” a 24-year-old student from Uganda told the AFP news agency.”

So many of them are illegally in a country with over a thousand years of history of discriminating against non-Han Chinese, never mind actual foreigners, and then some of them broke quarantine and infected a local family. The shock is that they were not immediatelyall rounded up and jailed until they got either died or got well on their own. The greater shock is that the various Chinese ambassadors haven’t bluntly reminded their African hosts who exactly has loaned whom money and built roads and belts for them.
