As some here in the US are still claiming Trump is racist for stopping incoming flights... China has been banning black people left and right. Hotels, McDonalds outright doing so, food markets and so much else. And not just a few racists in the streets, but leaders and major owners of companies.

Africans in China: ‘You Can’t Go Out on the Street if You Are Black’
Africans living in China continued reporting incidents of discrimination this week and worried they are being scapegoated by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials for a resurgence of coronavirus infections.
The CCP claims it has nearly eradicated the Wuhan virus across China, so new infections are blamed on foreigners and Chinese who have traveled abroad recently.
Voice of America News (VOA) on Thursday found Africans hiding in their homes, or forced to remain there by Chinese officials, even those that have not traveled abroad since the pandemic began. Other Africans have been evicted from their homes and turned away from hotels. They no longer gather in the streets of cities like Guangzhou, but some are forced to live on the streets.
“We as Africans wake every morning, and there are people standing at your door, they say you have to undergo this test. So it was a confusing situation because some of us were thinking that ‘Oh, now they want to put the virus in us, not just checking us,’” a Burundi businessman who has lived in China for 12 years told VOA.
“We have pictures showing how some people were locked down in their apartments without food. You can’t go out on the street if you are black,” said a spokeswoman for an association of Nigerians living in China.
One Kenyan woman reported that a roommate was taken away by Chinese authorities after a coronavirus test and has not been seen again.
The Epoch Times found a 19-year-old student from the Ivory Coast taking shelter under a bridge in Guangzhou, frantically calling everyone he knew in China so he could avoid sleeping on the streets. After numerous hotels refused him service, he finally found one that would take him. An anonymous local real estate agent confirmed “no one will accept” black renters at the moment.
The city’s African community feels it has been targeted for excessive testing, repeated quarantines, and other intimidating tactics.
“If they do this to all foreigners, then it’s not a problem, but it’s only black people,” said a Nigerian immigrant who claims to have been quarantined twice because the authorities refused to believe him when he said he had already been quarantined once.
A Nigerian computer student told the BBC he was thrown onto the street right after paying fees for the new semester at Guangdong University.
“Look how they are treating us, how they forced us out of our houses and forced us to self-quarantine. They told me that the [test] result is out and I am negative. Still they don’t want me to go out,” he said from a hotel where he finally found refuge.
