In April a group of Guangdong landlords & shop owners evicted a group of Africans. In response China:
mass arrested the racist actors
apologized to African Union
paid for hotels for the migrants

Unsurprisingly China's quick actions to address discrimination by a group of private landlords & shopkeepers in one province has been ignored by Western media. Instead inflammatory false reports of China "persecuting & imprisoning" African migrants continues to dominate headlines
We decided to share this info on China's addressing of the Guangdong incident because Westerners continue to equate the US' 400 years of oppression of Black people to this one incident to argue that the US & China are the same & have the exact same system of "systemic racism."
Systemic or institutional racism doesn't mean just individual acts of racism. It means that a society's entire existence & capitalist economy requires racism to continue existing and thus enforces a macro system of racialized exploitation that permeates every corner of society.
Qiao Collective has curated a short reading list of articles, papers & books on China & Africa's relationship that challenges the West's propaganda on China's relationship with Africa and challenges the narrative of Chinese "neo-colonialism" in Africa. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oeo4OVLUlWDk2NZI3UO6rl6bzVdiSQOdJYRukPffJA4/edit …
Lastly, given the far more important events happening in the US, we would rather not have had to address this, but we've received a huge wave of alarming comments that China is putting Africans into "camps" & is committing "genocide" against Africans in Guangdong—which are false.
More WuMao bollocks right here. Care to comment on the “re education camps” or the harvesting of organs of Falun Gong practitioners? What lies are you going to say about that? #bullshit #ChinaLiedPeopleDied #WuMao
I never even heard about it
