As COVID-19 spreads across the world, China is still under pressure to prevent domestic resurgence and imported cases. Chinese localities including Guangdong province are taking proper epidemic-containment measures. However, fake or hyped-up video footages recently going viral online claim that Africans are being mistreated in China, followed by unfounded smearing remarks that China discriminates against African people.
No gene of discrimination in the long-standing China-Africa friendship
In reflection upon history, China and Africa, in the struggle against imperialism, colonization, apartheid, and in the endeavor to win national independence and liberation, have forged a brotherhood of common aspiration and solidarity in the pursuit of economic development and national rejuvenation. For decades, China, in a spirit of sincerity, being result oriented, affinity and good faith, has been helping Africa by offering aid in agriculture, health, education, infrastructure and other livelihood-related areas. In the 1970s when China was itself in economic difficulty, over 50,000 technicians and management personnel were sent to help build the Tazara Railway in Africa, completing the task under adverse conditions. Over 60 Chinese workers gave their lives while constructing it. Up till now, China has aided or financed the building of over 5,000 km of railway and roads, built more than 200 schools and nearly 100 hospitals, and trained more than 160,000 professional workers in Africa. Many African leaders studied in China.
The health sector is an important area in China-Africa cooperation. China has sent medical teams of altogether 21,000 members to Africa and has treated 220 million African patients. They are deeply respected by local people as some Chinese doctors even sacrificed their lives in this cause. After the Ebola epidemic raged through Africa in March, 2014, western countries including the US closed their embassies and evacuated diplomats and citizens from three West African countries hit by the epidemic. By sharp contrast, the Chinese government helped Africa at the earliest time possible. We sent not only urgently needed supplies but also medical teams of over 1,000 military and civilian doctors to areas stricken most severely by the epidemic. Chinese diplomats and medical experts chose to stay there instead of withdrawing. They fought together with local people until the virus was defeated. Hardship reveals true friendship. African people lauded China as a true friend in times of hardship and the Ebola epidemic is a touchstone of true friendship between China and Africa.
As Africa battles the spreading of COVID-19 outbreak, President Xi Jinping has recently made phone calls to leaders of South Africa, Egypt and other African countries to convey sympathy and support. Despite its ongoing domestic difficulty, China has provided emergency assistance to African brothers, sending much needed medical supplies to the AU and African countries through various channels, sharing experience on outbreak response, sending medical expert teams there and facilitating Africa’s purchase of medical supplies in China. China will stand firmly with Africa in the fight against the virus. This demonstrates China-Africa Comprehensive Strategic and Cooperative Partnership and China-Africa community with a shared future.
All foreigners in China are treated as equals
Unlike some countries who resort to herd immunity in response to the epidemic, China has taken the most comprehensive, rigorous and thorough measures to contain the virus, giving top priority to the safety and health of the Chinese people. Local transmission was basically terminated within two months. However, given the severity of global pandemic situation, China is still making efforts to prevent domestic resurgence and imported cases. Chinese localities including Guangdong province are taking proper measures to contain the virus. These control and prevention measures implemented in China, including quarantine, medical aid and community management, apply equally to Chinese or foreigners alike.
As of April 13, a total of 119 confirmed imported cases had been reported in Guangzhou, among which 26 cases were foreign nationals, including 19 African nationals. Of the 15 confirmed cases related to the imported ones, 14 are from Africa. Recently, 4,553 African nationals in Guangzhou underwent nucleic acid testing, of which 111 tested positive, including asymptomatic carriers. So African people in Guangzhou are a high-risk group. Their health and safety are exposed to greater threats. In order to protect the health and safety of Chinese and foreigners, Guangzhou has taken escalated measures to combat the disease starting from April 4, including comprehensive screening and checking of high-risk groups of people and imposing a 14-day mandatory quarantine on inbound passengers. A total of 15,000 people have gone through home or concentrated quarantine, of which 4,600 are foreigners from 13 countries, inscluding both Africa and the US, Australia and Russia. Therefore, there is by no means discrimination against Africa.
The majority of foreign nationals in China understand and comply with the containment measures by the Chinese government. But there are extreme cases. A media report says that an African man, who was confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 upon entering China, went through two-week quarantine. During his stay in hospital though, he did not cooperate with the hospital staff, walking around and trying many times to leave the hospital. A nurse found out and stopped him, only to be beaten and violence by the man, causing several injuries all over including some bite injuries to her face. It is hard for Chinese people not to be angered by such behaviours.
In the meantime, realizing there is room for improvement in the implementation of the measures, China attaches much importance to the specific concerns raised by African friends. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi has spoken on this issue in a telephone conversation with the Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat. Assistant Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong met with African diplomatic envoys to China. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson has also clarified China’s position on the issue on multiple occasions. The Guangdong authorities are working promptly to improve their working method. The measures include: to provide health management services without differentiation, to designate hotels for the accommodation of foreigners required to undergo medical observation and adopt price adjustment for those in financial difficulties; to set up effective communication mechanism with foreign consulates-general in Guangzhou; and to reject all racist and discriminatory remarks.
Some Western media attempt to drive a wedge between China and Africa
As the common enemy of mankind, the virus knows no border. At the crucial moments when all countries are working together to combat the epidemic, some western politicians and media with ulterior motives, turning a blind eye to the rapidly escalating epidemic situation in their own countries, keep deflecting the blames for China and manufacturing the “political virus”, despite China’s containment efforts and contributions to the world. By spreading fake videos and twisting the facts, they attempt to sabotage the development of China-Africa relations so as to drive a wedge between China and Africa.
China and Africa have always been good friends, partners and brothers. In the middle of the pandemic, the two sides should make more concerted efforts to fight the virus. People from both sides should be vigilant against online contents that may mislead people’s perceptions and sentiments. On the so-called discrimination against the Nigerian citizen, Nigerian Foreign Minister Onyeama also made clarifications to the press, saying that those audio clips twisted the facts of the incidents. He pointed out we live in a world deeply affected by social media, where people promote their own opinions to advance their own interests. He called on the Nigerian people to view such matters cautiously and objectively.
Meanwhile, we understand just like the teeth may bite the tongue, even family members may have frictions. It is understandable that there will be misunderstanding between Chinese and African people from time to time. The most important is that we properly address these frictions through candid and amicable consultation on the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment. Now, most African countries make it clear that China and Africa are having sound communication and there is no such thing as discrimination in China. We believe China-Africa relations are mature and solid enough to withstand any test.
I was a great DEFENDER of China because I thought China’s rise was good for the world…(A multi-polar world) The sad thing is, China is just the FLIP SIDE of the coin just like AmeriKKKa/Europe in relation to Afrikan people..China have learned the evil, dirty and wicked ways of the white man, their former colonizes/oppressors. China complain vigorously when they are called derogatory names like the Chinese virus, the Wuhan virus and THE SICK MAN OF ASIA but they turned around and called Afrikan people ni..ers in their own land and discriminate against Afrikans in China and even beat Afrikan people…The wicked West hates a RISING China and would do anything and everything to destroy China. Afrika is a friend of China not an enemy…Shame on China! Shame on China…
No to Chinese oppression, no to Chinese imperialism, no to Chinese supremacy…..

Many African leaders studied in China…
Thanks for letting us know. Now I understand why so many of those African leaders are so corrupt and nepotistic. What ever China taught them is for the benefit of very few at the expense of the majority. Just like in DA!
This statement in defense of his country, regardless of what actually happened, and the responses here in defense of Africa is exactly why you need to have an Africa plan.
Research Mr. Marcus Garvey. We all should at least start visiting, learning and research the history of Africa as more and more of it is at our fingertips(books by Black writers, Youtube, Google, other sources), start visiting African countries instead of visiting France, Italy, europe, we now have no choice what so ever.
Take a good read of all the comments, and you will see why black people are treated the way they are globally.
We too damn arse.
Look how outraged we are about what’s happened in China, look how we take at face value every video we see, look how believe the western media on any BS.
And yet the greatest harm to black people, the white western nations, we treat as God’s. In fact we’ve even adopted their gods and saviors more than they do. We respect their institutions more than they do. All while they continue to control us, rape us, steal from us, own everything we perceive to be democracy and freedom.
But now they ask us to look the other way and the jackas.es we are, we do.
Look how quickly we raged, sent petitions and forceful letters to “discrimination” and rejection from McDonalds. Yet we’ve suffered so much worst in over 500 years, where’s your outrage? Where’s your petitioning and boycotts?
See how stupid we are? There’s a global political war raging and we…
“A media report says that an African man…causing several injuries all over including some bite injuries to her face. It is hard for Chinese people not to be angered by such behaviours.”
FAKE NEWS!!
This statement suggest that discrimination of all blacks in China is justified because this one African man has allegedly caused massive hatred due to his behavior while critically ill. China has over 1.3 billion people. You have apparently found one negative and derogatory instance to justify marginalizing all blacks.
This person is not here to defend himself. What were the extenuating circumstances which may have led this individual to behave as such? Was this person mentally unstable? And what are your protocols for handling patients deemed difficult to control? You imply the poor nurse was up against this overpowering African man This is propaganda that is deeply offensive to ones intelligence, which Dominicans should not accept.
While he calls reports if attacks against Africans fake news he refers to a media report that suggest an African who was infected with the virus… tried to escape from the hospital?
In China… for real?
Then he goes on to say de guy even bite de Chinese with violence…… and justifying at de end that people (Chinese) have a right to be angry.
All this after he mention all investment China have in Africa.
I don’t trust what you said
You idiots and aholes do not understand what is happening around you lots in 1914 – 18 we had what was called Spanish flu but it did not origin from Spain 🇪🇸 the real truth it was originally from New York USA but because Spain would not join or get involved in world war one (1) for political reasons the nickname Spanish flu came along which killed almost one hundred million people in four years around the world and now history is repeating itself once again , Mickey Trump and his clowns has been making big noises against China for political reasons once again. Having said that i know there will be many workers Linton clowns will disagree with what I said I will not be surprised fools but idiots never learn.
Mr. Fox you are trying to protect someone, but should protect yourself first. YOU BRANDING an America president as a micky.mr COVID-19 Came to exposed the government as to how the people were divided and treated on fairly after hurricane Maria and it wont go away because the evidence is there. He who writes glass without the G, takes away the L ,and that is he .
Who are you trying to protect? There is institutionalized xenophobia and RACISM in China. I’ve been to China myself. You will not tell me about China. The Chinese with their new found wealth are molding themselves into a sense of superiority, just like the white man did, and still do. Black people and that stupid self hating attitude of yours make for a perfect target.
To whomever that composed this statement, WE ARE NOT FOOLED.
The ccp believes that some sweet words and vague diplomatic talk will cover up all of their crimes, but the good Lord is watching, and the greatness that this despotic, criminal organization is seeking will never come. The ccp is a tool to be used by The Eternal, and when he is ready, they will be blown away like chaff in the wind. Injustice never wins in God’s world, and the ccp has a stellar record of injustices.
Woe be on to them who brutalizes the innocent!

I believe China does have a hidden gender for being in the Caribbean. Maybe to be close to the United State border.
It’s a fact that China is a racist Country and trying to blame someone else for this virus
I’m intrigued. How many genders does China have apart from the standard male, female and hermaphrodite. I suspect you meant to say “agenda”?
I get your point, but isn’t the USA also racist? To bring your point home there is no need to invoke the “racist” element!!
HOTEP!
The chinese never speak truth.. so who wants to believe them well wrong
@Me, what the hell do you know about the Chinese people apart from what you heard about some crap people spitting out that’s the same way some white people talk about black people!!
China is guilty as charged. No amount of propaganda from their ambassador can change the reality on the ground. If these people can jail and kill their own in the hundreds and thousands without any compunction, what will they do to the most dehumanized race of people? The Skerrit led government is always on the wrong side of history. Not a word of concern or condemnation from this equally corrupt, dark, wicked and evil misadministration. By their deafening silence on this most objectionable matter, Skerrit and his twenty (20) compliant disciples, are giving tacit consent to the Chinese to treat people of African descent like sub-human beings . Birds of a feather flock together.
But what did you expect the Chinese Ambassador to say garçon. Any word that is not in line with the party doctrine and he would be on the next plane back to China, so he has to stick to the party line no matter what. You can not have a different view in China, trust me, if you do and say that in public you will suffer and they have to re-educate you man. Is a dictatorship there really, even the Catholic Church have to agree with them to have bishops appointed there only with the approval of the China government. Give me a break mr Ambassador.
discrimination is everywhere. It is worse in the USA.
What is the essence ‘exactly’ if your statement P R Bellot? Does it make it right P R Bellot that discrimination Is everywhere and worst in the USA.
The most discriminated and racially abused Ethnic Group in the world is the BLACK Ethnic Group…. it’s time it’s stopped – it must stop.
What an absolute idiotic statement coming from an ostensible paragon of morality. So because “discrimination is everywhere” and “it is worse in the USA” that makes it acceptable for the Chinese to treat the Africans as dogs?
So now you want a competition who is worse then. Listen PRB, discrimination is bad and should not happen, wherever it is or whoever doing it. What you think snobbery is in Dominica, that is discrimination too and we must always look at ourselves first.
………….it always come back to hunt you.The Chinees does not deserved that.If you have ample space you can build a big house. After hurricane maria,if you dont vote labour,you dont get cheques or material,broke down houses because he did not vote for us,long time supporters,issue with forms,money and materials.The grievances are still with the people.The chinees did not started it,for it is right here among the people of dominica.Let the Africans solve their own problems. All the money and hand outs were from the chinees
The bel-lot has never stood on the side of Black People whenever such topic comes up! He is a beneficiary of slavery and probably wish he was still a slave master!
You don’t know that for a fact!
In the Jim Crow era it was different to mow.
Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.
All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures after the Reconstruction period.
The laws were enforced until 1965.
In practice, Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America and other states, starting in the 1870s and 1880s.
Such laws are long abolished, nobody in America can prevent you from going wherever you want; where it pertains to Hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, and places of entertainment, or dictate to anyone where they can own or buy a house!
In China, Black people are not allowed to enter certain places, and the video proves that; nobody in America can direct a black person to ride in the rear of the Bus; Rosa Parks saw to that!
Please ignore Parry, he`s not sure of what he says. Its known that he presents himself on Social media but usually his words and thoughts just does not fit.
I have viewed a video where Chinese people (youths) in the streets publicly were flogging our Black brothers and no one nor police interrupted and with no passers-by attempting to stop this violence.
China is a wicked Dictatorial Country who first and foremost will imprison their own people if they decent and comment rightly of the demagogue ways of the deceitful, dictatorial communist insulting practice their own Chinese people. Not even to pray that the Chinese people are able to do on their own personally and peacefully and religiously as this is a Human Rights matter that this insulting Chinese Government are good for. To desecrate and brain wash people to be nothing more but to part of this dirty, discrimitory, insulting abusive, racists dirty communist Chinese practice and feared discrimitory leadership and Government.
Disgusting statement from this Parry Bellot. For amn to be known as a literate person, this garbage he writes has reduced him to some kind of nimconpoof.
We have a failed, incompetent Labour government in Dominica over 19 years now and people like Parry Bellot is condoning this failed corru0ted Labour government an its leadership all because they fear Hon Lennox Linton and his highly professional United Workers Party (UWP) a decent and honourable political party WITH A SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF Governance and politics and decency in government. That is NOT what we know of failed Skerrit and his corrupted Labour government over 19 years in office who has failed we the people of Dominica for much too long. This is comical Odd Minister and Labour government we have fleecing our nature Isle and has killed our agriculture and has reduced our poor people and families to beggars that they have to que in hundreds at Financial Centre Foyer to receive cash from Skerrit’s corrupted Red Clinic…
I have viewed a video where I was amazed to see where Chinese individuals were literally beating our Black brothers in the street. I am not sure in China this took place but m any Chinese people walked by as this physical flogging punishment with weep was let out on the backs of these black brothers of ours! What exactly did they do? There must be answer to this.
Can someone in the Chinese Embassy tell us why would this discrimination of public flogging taking place openly somewhere in China?
This is just unfair and there must be an investigating to this outrage by the Chinese government who has the responsibility for their protection and security in China.
This hopefully does not represent all of China, will be unfair to say so. However, we are very concerned that this injustice of prejudice took place in an open place like China. We wish the students well and that they are able to continue to focus on their studies. Good Luck All.
It would have been more beliveable if an independent body had done a thorough investigation of the matter and reported its findings, complete with supporting evidence. What do you say China?
I wish this could be written in a sequence; but I wish DNO will print this followup, because from my observation it will be very difficult for anyone viewing that video to conclude that any foreigner could go into China and stand in a Mall and pretend to be preventing a black woman from entering.
China is a communist country, if that could not happen without seeing a goon of the communist regime taking that man down to the grown or shot him dead!
What we are seeing is real; they did not anticipate the footage to get out of China.
They blame the Cronavirus on Africa, when they damn well know that they manufactured the virus in a laboratory in Wuhan.
We remember Tienanmen Square where the communist regime used military …..to kill demonstrating students in the street.
We see the furry and brutality the Chines unleashed on the people of Hung Kong simply because they desire a democratic system of government.
Don’t come to our playing saint!
There is nothing fake about that the video, you people are caught in you hypocrisy; communists lies, and propaganda!
Whether you people discriminate against Black Americans visiting China, where there is documentary proof; or treating a Black African like a dogs, it’s all one of the same form of discrimination.
We see Black entertainers who visited China on vacation whom on Television talking about you people deny them entrance in restaurants, and other entertainment venues
The problem with you Chines is that you hate yourselves because you are Black; history proves that, your lies and hypocrisy cannot change that fact!
You all can fool the simple minded politicians like Roosevelt who subject himself to the one China Policy, that you friends of Dominica; if he wants to be ignorant and sell Dominica to China, the day will come when Roosevelt will become history in the life’s of our people
So, to will be China; Dominica will neither become a satellite state of China,…
To Etienne, I wanted too write but you have said it all,wonderfully written.keep us up to date.
I concur with you that the Chinese are black, as well as other races, even the Europeans who started as Albinos in Africa. According to research, they were driven out of Africa and fled to the Caucaus mountains (hence the term,Caucasians). They spent thousands of years in the cold and lost their skin MELANIN (the black pigmentation that some of us hate so much because of ignorance). That’s why the sun is against them. If they stay too long in the sun, they will develop skin cancer.
Africa has always been the cradle of civilisation, where everything and every man and woman started. For those who are christians, in Genesis, where the garden of Eden is mentioned, the location is in Africa because of the four rivers, namely Gihon, Pihon, Nile and Euphrates.
We need to start reading other books beside the bible, which has been tampered with. The Europeans who wrote and translated these bibles would never to so to our advantage as African people. Christianity is a business(MONEY).
“In reflection upon history, China and Africa, in the struggle against imperialism, colonization, apartheid, and in the endeavor to win national independence and liberation….”
Ask Hong Kong about imperialism. Ask Tibetans about colonization. Ask Uighurs about apartheid. Ask Taiwanese about the endeavor to win national independence. Ask the survivors of your Tiananmen Square massacre about liberation.
The lies pour out of you like rain from the sky during a hurricane. Truly, you have no shame.
This is so true that I have to read it twice. Well put Steve Foerster:
“Ask Hong Kong about imperialism. Ask Tibetans about colonization. Ask Uighurs about apartheid. Ask Taiwanese about the endeavour to win national independence. Ask the survivors of your Tiananmen Square massacre about liberation.
The Chinese government and its leadership along with the dangerous Communist inhuman behaviour and deny the Chinese people their equal Rights and to travel, to worship, to be a Christian, to go to church etc. The communists government has their people like slaves on an out of date discrimitory communist system. There is a need to arrest the leaders of China and brought before the UN Court of Justice,, if not the people of China must protest and close down China until the rights of the Chinese people are adhered to and to stop this discrimination. Its obvious the Chinese government and tier blind loyalists have their people on Bondage, psychological prison. Shame on Chinese leadership.
Ask Uighurs about apartheid. Get outta here!
Asked the South Afrikans about apartheid…(White supremacy)
“The system of racism and Global white supremacy must be dismantled and replace with a system of TRUTH and JUSTICE” Dr. Frances Cress Welsing….
Steve Foerster what are you doing in this conversion when you are the cause of all the problems in the world….You got some nerve!
A contributor commented that the article was well written but did not address the current issue of Chinese behavior against African nationals in China. What caught my interest and very much surprise, the picture which shows the Chinese embassy, is it their embassy in Dominica, and if so, what is the justification for the Chinese having such a large embassy in Dominica. Can it be for a central location for their operations in the Caribbean.
Hey Chinese Ambassy, you should probably grammar and spell check before you immediately take the communique directly from the PLA’s office of disinformation and email it to DNO. Your masters in China are working overtime to spin this disaster that they created.
It’s all about DAMAGE control , factually, the African Wo/Man in all climes have been treated Morally unfair. China was forced to make an International statement on their policies towards Africans and other Ethnic groups working and living in that vast Nation. China was made to understand, that they need Africa, just as much. It seems, like the Europeans before them, the Raw Manufacturing Materials are the most important, the People must be Trampled on.The U S took the opportunity to serenade the Wrongs that certain group/people in China are perpetrating against Africans, while at the same time, tend to forget their Demonic continuing history of ill treating Africans at Home and Diaspora.The lesson to be learnt is that, “A HEALTHY OUTSIDE, STARTS FROM THE INSIDE”.
“In reflection upon history, China and Africa, in the struggle against imperialism, colonization, apartheid, and in the endeavor to win national independence and liberation”
This is a bunch of BS. China history did not start in 1945. A place that had been ruled by emperors and Dynastys for centuries coming talk about imperialism. The Communist party got rid of the imperial system and today giving President XI indefinite term and the power to act like an emperor. You have an emabassy built like a fortress in tiny Dominica and have military buildup like empires of old. Yes sometimes your teeth does bite your tounge. Also sometimes your teeth get rotten and pain your head and has to be pulled out by a dentist. This Chinese doctrine spread is beginning to act like a rotten teeth that been given too much sugar by skerrit and we may need to go take it out the mouth. If not that decay can spread and poison the body. I recommend extraction.
China is not a God fearing country and therefore I believe the way they treating Africans today is not different from how they would treat Chinese or any race. China is about money and success so they will harrass, shoot, abuse anyone that is standing in their way! That’s why they found a lover in Dominica by the name of Roosevelt Skerrit, who will do whatever it takes to get his bidding done. That’s what makes the presence of Chinese in Dominica so dangerous because they will use Skerrit to remove anything in their way and they too will do what it takes to remove any upsticle standing in the way of Skerrit. Both China and Skerrit have no regard for God or man, even if Skerrit plays the religious game at will and that’s what makes the presence of this double Dictatoship so dangerous in a small island like Dominica. In my opinion Dominica is already sold to China but just that we don’t know the terms on the MOU between the two dictators. We better protect our country b4 it’s too…
Look up what the Chinese Communist Party did to the Falun Gong and the Uyghurs and the organ harvesting scandal. Sorry to say but what they are doing to the african migrants right now is nothing compared to the atrocities that they have committed against other peoples. This propaganda piece is laughable at best.
The sad reality is that discrimination against blacks in Africa has been going on long before the Covid pandemic. Great article and very well written but also very misleading on the treatment of blacks in China
I agree 100%. China must own up to what’s going on against the injustice of Africans by some of the chinese people and not hide behind it as far as want they are doing economically for Africa. Injustice and racism must be addressed from the top, to let the chinese people know and understand that the communist Government leadership, will not tolerate it and there is no place for that behavior in China or elsewhere. Chinese Leadership have great control of it’s people by their extreme security measures. The videos don’t lie so they must know the truth in all this! This cannot be tolerated by the African nations and if they don’t take a positive strong stance now, they will have hell to pay moving forward! because this type of behavior will increasingly worsen! There is no excuse for this type of behavior against Africans and or any black people on a whole, whether in China or elsewhere. Unity, trust and respect between these two peoples is a must for any positive and prosperous…
How can you term an article you know is a lie, and nothing more than cheap disgusting propaganda a great article?
The Chines are haters of Black People, they are in Dominica not because they like us, but because they are dealing with an ignorant corrupted Roosevelt Skerrit.
I am sure there are less than five hundred Chines nationals residing in Dominica, although thousands of them bought Dominica passports including diplomatic passports.
With that said asks yourself what is the purpose of the size of embassy compound they built in our country; that is not there for a simple purpose which could include a native Chines citizen.
Trinidad have the most Chines nationals dating back about one hundred years, do you see a Chines embassy that large in Trinidad or any other place in the Caribbean?
Food for thought Dominicans!
“I am sure there are less than five hundred Chinese nationals residing in Dominica, although thousands of them bought Dominica passports including diplomatic passports.” SAD!
This is the organised scam of Skerrit, desperate for revenue in our Dominica, that he has forgotten that has killed our agricultural industry in Dominica with his blind vague, fake Labour ministers, blind fallowers and loyalists have no common-sense nor the level of corruption and deception going on in our government led by this Fake Scare-it” and his Bobolistic corrupted Labour government. Skerrit is not leadership material. He has no knowledge of socio-economic development much less to know how to run and develop a poor Dominica that he and his failed Labour government has reduced us to poverty, begging, continuous Bobol of states funds and Skerrit is so blind that he has no knowledge as to where to start to development our island much has no thoughts as to how & where to begin to take our people and…
I am reading this and my stomach is churning and upset at the stench. Why involve western media when the issue is btw Africa and China, why put story of the way an african behavior in hospital. Why send jabs at the US. It is clear this is propaganda from a government that is used to dictating the news and story that goes out. You are admitting there was an issue but stopped short of calling it racism. By the way does the Chinese embassy process visa for Caribbean people to china. The letter above and the size of the embassy tells me china is using Dominica as a base to spread there ideology and propaganda, they have established a permanent post the reason for their current boldness. I see evidence of political interference in Dominica politics why the current PM is so brazen. Not even during colonial days that Britain had such infrastructure. What else is this building used for? Dominicans need to safeguard our country and democracy. It might be already too late.
Racism in China is alive and widespread. No amount of wordy explanations can alter the reality of this fact. The racism against black people is more pronounced since the advent of the Coronavirus. From time immemorial, Blacks have bitterly complained about the overt racism against them in China. What they said is most shocking is the openness and widespread acceptance of this practice. The Chinese are devout racists and should be condemned most vociferously.
Well done China.
I commend the writer of this statement for his/her brilliant use of the English language, but any intelligent individual can see the propaganda, half-truths,and blatant lies in this statement. This statement speaks loudly about the occurrences that it does not mention. The Chinese people are like any other people, some good some bad. The ccp though is a different story. Understand that the stuff going on against Africans is encouraged and sanctioned by the ccp. The ccp controlled China is a friend only to the ccp. NO ONE ELSE
What a load of hogwash, the discrimination is still going on here’s a video showing clear DISCRIMINATION

I’m not saying it’s happening everywhere in China but there are clear examples it is happening so stop lying and saying it’s not true
Who paid you to write this misleading information? How much did they pay you to misinform the people reading this? You must be a government puppet. I feel sorry for you
Chinese friends are very friendly to me！They are not aggressive and they love peace. I love China！
Really DNO, really??????
How dare China try to capitalize on the hurt they already cause by trying to fool us? So all my black friends in China and all the African ambassadors in China (read various African news outlets) are lying on poooorrr China. STOP falling prey to China and its well orchestrated PR stunt. Where are our so called DLP affiliated African Liberation Brothers who are always clamoring about reparations from the white man? Because China is being accused now they gone Moo-Moo? SMH in disgust!
