Now I remember why I rarely read the news here in China.
So there are xenophobes in China too. Shocked, I am, just shocked. Perhaps she had not heard that the authorities in Shanghai no longer foot the bill for quarantine hotel stays?
Secondly, you do know why some people in northern China as well as in places like Nanjing still harbour anger toward the Japanese? Not that that´s an excuse of course.
One of my colleagues just came over to complain to me about a group of German businessmen who are quarantined in a hotel in Shanghai (at their own expense) and whose company sent them a crate of wine. For some reason she was really upset about this.
Also a restaurant in northern China made a banner saying (paraphrasing) "congratulations to the US on your coronavirus situation, hope Japan suffers from it for a long time". Now I remember why I rarely read the news here in China.
