美國黑人感染和死亡比例引發關注;非洲裔人士在中國廣州「被歧視」引發外交風波中國非裔人士大受歧視 Africans in China subjected to forced evictions, arbitrary quarantines and mass testing

美國黑人感染和死亡比例引發關注 :最新數據顯示,在美國一些最大的城市和州,非裔美國人正以令人不安的速度遭受病毒感染,其確診率和病死率不成比例地高於其他種族人士。美國國家過敏和傳染病研究所所長福奇指出,糖尿病、高血壓、肥胖和哮喘等疾病對非洲裔美國人的影響尤為嚴重,而患有這些疾病和冠狀病毒的患者往往更易感。


中國外交部表示,實施抗疫措施時出現「一些情況和誤解」,中方高度重視,將「敦促相關方面改善工作機制和方法」,並強調中國和非洲會相互支持、攜手抗疫。

"I've been sleeping under the bridge for four days with no food to eat... I cannot buy food anywhere, no shops or restaurants will serve me," said Tony Mathias, an exchange student from Uganda who was forced from his apartment on Monday.

The tense situation has made Africans targets of suspicion, distrust and racism in China -- and brought a stinging rebuke Saturday from Washington.
