Mexicans are allegedly treated badly in China for the non-existent swine flu. For one, I don't remember Chinese were treated this way when SARS was spreading. For two, I don't think the Chinese will do the same to any Western countries.
So this is just great. Just when we are worried about protectionism and retaliation among countries in this crisis, the Chinese government just did such a reckless act. I am hoping at least they placate the people at home. Otherwise, all Chinese and Chinese-looking people are going to face a potential large-scale discrimination without getting any benefits out of it.
