China’s southern City of Guangzhou denied discriminatory practices towards foreigners in implementing coronavirus containment measures.CNN reported Saturday the African community in Guangzhou is on edge after accounts shared widely on social media of people being left homeless this week. Africans have been evicted from their homes by landlords and turned away from hotels, despite many claiming to have no recent travel history or known contact with Covid-19 patients.
CNN interviewed more than two dozen Africans living in Guangzhou many of whom told of the same experiences: being left without a home, being subject to random testing for Covid-19, and being quarantined for 14 days in their homes, despite having no symptoms or contact with known patients.
He added foreigners need to strictly abide by Chinese laws and show identification documents when requested by police. Those who refuse to do so are subject to punishment, Cai said, adding most foreigners have been cooperative. Guangzhou’s director of foreign affairs said the city has a “zero tolerance” policy toward discrimination, adding"we treat all foreigners in Guangzhou equally. We are opposed to differentiated treatment targeting certain groups,” according to state media.
