“When I had not even arrived in China and had just changed my flight from Dubai, I got such a bad smell on the flight. There were several Chinese people on board. But when I landed in China, there was an even worse smell. But you will learn to adjust with time, and you will get used to it. But they smell bad,” the doctor added in his racist post.
