WASHINGTON - The United States on Saturday accused Chinese authorities of"xenophobia" towards Africans, after coronavirus cases among Nigerians unleashed a wave of evictions in the city of Guangzhou.
"At a time when we should be supporting one another to recover from a pandemic PRC officials recklessly hid from the world, Chinese officials are busy evicting African students into the streets without food or shelter." "It's unfortunate but not surprising to see this kind of xenophobia towards Africans by Chinese authorities," the State Department spokesman added.
Since coming to office in 2017, the administration of President Donald Trump has shown little interest in Africa.
