While some were open to Chief Epidemiologist Wu Zun You’s advice, others found it inflammatory and discriminative.
“It’s good to open the country’s door, but we can’t just let everything in,” one Weibo user wrote.
Several drew parallels to the wave of xenophobia and violence Asians overseas faced at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic... and don't call it "Wuhan Flu"!
“This is a bit like when the pandemic began when some people overseas avoided any Chinese people they saw out of fear,” a Weibo user wrote.
“I don’t believe these two things have any scientific basis, they are too broad and will exacerbate public panic.”
Where is the uproar from global progressives proclaiming this warning as disgustingly bigoted, xenophobic, racist, and homophobic?
Remember, it's not racist when 'they' do it... and never, ever, criticize China!

From what I’ve read, “touching” isn’t really the issue here.

Touching foreigners won't reduce it anyway. ;)

But yes, by and large, Asians are racially prejudiced.

Who here remembers Italy’s “Hug a Chinese person” back in about January or February 2020?
