Coronavirus is being replaced by racism, xenophobia and hate against foreigners. A comic has now gone viral which labels foreign visitors as trash 
&nbsp; 
A video that went viral on social media also&nbsp;claims Africans are being targeted in China. They are being asked to leave hotels. Even vacate the houses they used to live in. They are victims of the fear surrounding the Wuhan coronavirus.

The Chinese govt says it has defeated the virus. New cases are being brought from outside. So Chinese people are targeting outsiders and racism is rampant. Foreigners are under attack and being called carriers of the Wuhan virus. &nbsp;Bigoted Chinese citizens are now driving a campaign of hate --- especially against the Africans. 
&nbsp; 
Africans in China are now facing xenophobia of the worst kind. The city of Guangzhou is known as "Little Africa". It has the largest African migrant population in Asia. Earlier this month, fresh cases were detected among Africans living in the city. Fake news began spreading. One story claimed that 300 thousand Africans are infected in Guangzhou. A claim that was later denied by Chinese state television. But that, could not stop a wave of racist attacks against the African community. Allegedly, many of them were asked to leave their rented homes --- almost overnight. Racism and xenophobia are now growing. 
&nbsp; 
An apartment complex in Beijing put out this message on its window -- "We do not accept foreign friends". That's the message from the government too. China has curbed the entry of foreign nationals. 
&nbsp; 
With the first reports of this outbreak. China began accusing the world of racism. China pointed out how its citizens abroad were being targeted.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
But Beijing is doing little and saying nothing about what's brewing in its backyard. The coronavirus might be leaving china and it is being replaced by racism, xenophobia and hate against foreigners.

Coronavirus replaced by racism, xenophobia and hate against foreigners in China 

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sent high-ranking emissaries on a mission to reassure African countries after a wave of xenophobic attacks, the presidency said on Sunday.

At least 12 people have been killed in the surge of mob violence targeting foreign-owned businesses and homes, mainly in and around Johannesburg since the start of the month.

Hundreds of economic migrants from neighbouring Zimbabwe and Mozambique have fled to shelters and Nigeria has flown 600 of its citizens back home after they were targeted in the violence.

The mission, led by former minister Jeff Radebe, left South Africa on Saturday and will visit Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, DR Congo and Zambia, the presidency said.

Ramaphosa was jeered at on Saturday during his speech at Zimbabwe ex-leader Robert Mugabe's funeral in Harare before he apologised for the attacks, which have been prompted by unemployment and poverty.

"I stand before you as a fellow African to express my regret and apologise for what has happened in our country," Ramaphosa said at the state funeral.

His comments were met with cheers and blasts of air horns from the crowd.

South Africa, the continent's second-largest economy, is a major destination for other African migrants. But they are often targeted by some locals who blame them for a lack of jobs.

South Africa dispatches emissaries to calm xenophobia fears

Police detained a 50-year-old German man early on Tuesday on suspicion of ramming his car into a crowd of people in the northwestern German town of Bottrop, injuring four, in what authorities say may have been a xenophobic attack.

The man, who fled the scene, made racist comments when he was later stopped and arrested, according to a statement by local police and prosecutors.

"Investigators suspect it was a deliberate attack that may be linked to the xenophobic views of the driver," the statement said. "In addition, investigators have preliminary information about a mental illness of the driver."

A police spokeswoman said Syrian and Afghan citizens were among those injured, but gave no further details. She said one of the four people injured remained in hospital.

The attack occurred after midnight on New Year's Eve at a crowded plaza in Bottrop.

Earlier the driver had steered his car at another pedestrian, who managed to escape unharmed, according to the statement. He also targeted people at a bus stop after fleeing the scene of the Bottrop attack, it said.
