Africans in Guangzhou are being evicted from their homes and turned away from hotels, forced onto the streets, amid rising xenophobia and concerns of a #COVID19 rebound.
“It’s already a PR mess for China,” @castillorocas told CNN. cnn.com/2020/04/10/chi…

@castillorocas Please read the article, people. This is not about Guangzhou authorities enforcing — or African residents breaking — local laws and regulations. Rather, it’s about the arbitrary, discriminatory policies of some landlords, hotels, and other businesses.
@castillorocas Update: @MFA_China says Guangdong authorities 1) attach “great importance” to African countries’ concerns, 2) will ensure there are designated quarantine hotels for foreigners, 3) reject all racist & discriminatory remarks. No mention of forced evictions. fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_6…
