BEIJING — Elo started cooking as soon as he heard about the boys on the street. The Nigerian trader opened an informal restaurant in Foshan, a manufacturing city half an hour’s train ride from Guangzhou, where dozens of Africans became homeless last week. Evictions from homes and apartments started when Guangzhou authorities announced that five Nigerians had tested positive for COVID-19. Within days, a campaign was launched to test and track all Africans in the port city.

The sudden and sweeping move was consistent with China’s response to the coronavirus. But it was propelled by a troubling logic that targeted people based on race rather than their contact history.

There is something about this virus that hits black people harder. It almost look like the virus was designed with that feature.

On top of all else about this story, the Communist Chinese regime is making it particularly difficult for their American apologists.

I am forced to read everything the MSM puts out with a very critical eye, even for the occasional story that may seem legitimate.

A very large amount of africans in China are there illegally. They apply for student or short-term business visas, but then overstay. Its difficult to track them, which of course gives overzealous Chinese police and government officials in this era of coronavirus, fits.

China, except for border regions, is nearly 100% Han Chinese. China never claims, and doesn’t want to be a “multi-culti” nation. They are unfamiliar with most foreigners, and discriminate widely among all - but especially Africans.

I always laugh when some NBA “superstar” talks about how we should not talk about the Chinese since we don’t know the complete story. Politics aside, the Chinese and Japanese have very little use for blacks based on historical language and actions. Mr NBA should realize that if the Chinese ever took over, the black race will be the first to just.....disappear.

Well pay attention, everybody, because Red China is the Democrat Party’s model for what they want the USA to be!

From what I’ve read, yes.

Consider that they have always referred to non Chinese, especially white people, as “foreign devils” it is not surprising.

To them, blacks are little more than apes.
