China sees a new wave of xenophobia: Beijing is stoking mistrust of foreigners as part of an attempt to rebuild a reputation tarnished by the coronavirus crisis
//As Chinese health officials reported new “imported” coronavirus cases almost every day, foreigners living in the country have noticed a change.
They have been turned away from restaurants, shops, gyms and hotels, subjected to further screening, yelled at by locals and avoided in public spaces.
Experiences range from socially awkward to xenophobic. An American walking with a group of foreigners in a park in Beijing saw a woman grab her child and run the other way. Others have described being called “foreign trash”. A recent online article, under an image of ship stacked with refuse being pushed away from China’s coast, was headlined: “Beware of a second outbreak started by foreign garbage.”
"There is an effect when state media are reporting this is a foreign virus,” said Jeremiah Jenne, an American historian.

Commissioner's Office of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the U.S. for interfering when requesting release of Pro-democracy Politian
Hong Kong police has recently arrested the chairwoman of Central and Western District Council Cheng Lai-king for "seditious intention" under a colonial-era law which many legal professionals considered it a breach of human rights.
Human Rights Watch, an international NGO, has also spoken on the matter, calling the arrest a political persecution. China's Commissioner's Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the accusation and claimed that such comment was an "interference" and expressed "solemn opposition".
Read the Statement by Human Rights Watch:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/19056
These Chinese officials stationed in Hong Kong returned their criticism by claiming that "U.S. politicians and related authorities" made "carping comments on the work of the police, confusing right and wrong and neglecting the rule of law". These Beijing representatives also stressed that no demands could become the reason of law offence and criminal activities, and no identities could become the amulet with which one escaped the punishments by law. They believed the politicians affiliated with the U.S. connived and shielded criminal acts without limits, as they politicalise common issues with the law, and exposed their deeply- rooted ideological discrimination, hypocritical double standards and their ill intention to see Hong Kong run into chaos.

#ASICS Japan and #HugoBoss Denounce Pro-China Statement Purportedly Posted by their China Branch on #Weibo
Since March 25, 2021, Chinese state media and netizens have been attacking multiple international apparel brands for previously vowing to not use #XinjiangCotton, due to human rights concerns.
The discontented Chinese netizens have initiated a series of boycotts, forcing public figures from celebrities to sport teams to cut ties with the brands which have voiced concern over forced labour issues and human rights breaches committed by the PRC in Xinjiang.
Whereas Hugo Boss's Weibo account claimed that "Xinjiang cotton was one of the best cotton in the world"; its head office clarified that the statement was unauthorised, alluding to a misappropriation committed by the China's branch.
Meanwhile, a similar incident happened to ASICS, a Japanese sports shoe brand.
Like Hugo Boss, the Weibo account of ASICS posted a pro-China message that read "our brand firmly opposes all actions of discrediting or spreading rumour of China"; however, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the headquarters of ASICS at Kobe in Japan denounced the statement.
According to ASICS Japan, the statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo was published without the head office's permission and does not reflect to the company's official stance.
ASICS reiterates that their supply for the Australian Olympics team does not contain any Xinjiang cotton and was not manufactured in Xinjiang.
The pro-China statement has been removed from Weibo on the morning of March 29, 2021. Meanwhile, Chinese actor Li Yifeng suspend his contract with the brand after ASICS clarifies their stance.
