Chinese official warns against touching foreigners after monkeypox case
A top Chinese health official has warned locals against touching foreigners, a day after China recorded its first monkeypox infection.
In a post on Weibo, the chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wu Zunyou advised against "skin-to-skin contact with foreigners".
The post drew controversy, with some labelling it as racist.
Comments on the original post have since been disabled from the platform.
"In order to prevent possible monkeypox infection and as part of our healthy lifestyle, it is recommended that 1) you do not have direct skin-to-skin contact with foreigners," said Mr Wu on his Weibo page on Saturday.
In addition, Mr Wu also called for locals to avoid skin-to-skin contact with recent travellers who had returned from abroad in the last three weeks, and with strangers.
He posted the comments a day after the southwestern city of Chongqing reported its first case of monkeypox in an individual who arrived from abroad. It is not clear if the individual was a Chinese citizen or a foreigner.

The ones from Shanghai are the worst. Very worldly. Focus on the foreigner within. When the revolution comes around again it'll be Shanghai not Hong Kong changing the color of the flag and political order in Beijing.

Oh sure. No other country in the world has prostitutes. And we all call syphilis and gonorrhea 'the Chinese Disease' these days, don't we?

Touching foreigners leads to babies, and we all know how the Chinese feel about that.

Re: Don't touch foreigners
My bold.
During the 20th century the united states witnessed sweeping social, political, and economic transformations as well as far-reaching advancements in medical diagnosis and care. Despite the dramatic changes in demography, the meaning of citizenship, and the ability to treat and cure acute and chronic diseases, foreigners were consistently associated with germs and contagion. In this article we explore why, at critical junctures in American history, immigrants have been stigmatized as the etiology of a wide variety of physical and societal ills. Anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy have often been framed by an explicitly medical language, one in which the line between perceived and actual threat is slippery and prone to hysteria and hyperbole. ...

Person to person transfer of Monkeypox requires close intimate contact. That's why it usually stops by itself. Most humans are not part of far-reaching networks where people have intimate contact with lots of different people in a short time. The virus has found such a network within the MSM (Males who have sex with males) community. That's why it could spread further than usual. After education within the community and a successful vaccination campaign within the community, the spread has currently stopped in Germany and other western countries where male to male sex is not a taboo.

Monkey Pox will evolve. The faster it slowly spreads the quicker it will mutate to small pox levels of severity as it fills the niche left by the original vector. Some of this might be poetry right now, wait five or ten years and see what gives in the post nuclear ruins of your city.
