Coronavirus: The Earlier China Stops The Anti-foreigner Nansins, The Better- Or Else…
Let me admit that this article is in poor taste. On any other given day I would criticize fairly and even give the benefit of doubt to certain things.
However, what is happening in China currently- the treatment meted to blacks, and by extension foreigners, is despicable and should not be encouraged.
When the coronavirus emerged, its epicenter was in Wuhan, China. The reported number of cases and deaths were heartbreaking but the whole world rallied behind China.
As it would turn out, the coronavirus was not contained in China and started spreading to other parts of the world. Countries in Europe and the Americas were hardly hit by the spread of the coronavirus.
At one point Italy became the epicenter with the most recorded cases and deaths. Now the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) are grappling worse situations related to COVID-19.
And of course, Africa has had its fair share of this crisis. Only two (2) countries or so on the continent have not recorded a case of the coronavirus.
But it goes without saying that the impact of this pandemic on the socio-economic condition of almost all African countries will be dire. That said, it would be unreasonable to apportion blame of this pandemic to China.
Although at the onset of the pandemic, there were great concerns for Chinese, and even Asians in general, living in other countries because of the racism behaviors towards them.
When the United States President, Donald Trump, referred to the coronavirus as the ‘Chinese virus’, Amnesty International as well as many journalists and global commentators alike jumped to China’s defense.
Indeed, in this crisis, racism is not the best way forward. So it beats one’s imagination that after almost defeating the coronavirus, China has turned around to maltreat blacks and foreigners.
What is happening in China is racism and should stop. The atrocities are making some sections of people believe that Chinese deserved the treatment they were initially subjected to.

Alas, they are doing worse to black people in their country. It is absolutely pointless to target foreigners because as it has been well established now, the virus is no respecter of person.
By all means, China should carry out protocols to minimize the spread of the coronavirus in the country. But they should do so with the dignity of all involved persons intact.

The earlier China stops this nonsense, the better it would be for the world. This is definitely not the right way to go in these times of global pandemic and looming economic crisis.
