April 8 - April 10, 2020How Americans and Chinese view same method differently from both Twitter post and Chinese social media’s post
After the number of people that are affected by COVID-19 goes to zero (nationally) in China, both Chinese government and Chinese begin to limit affected cases from overseas, such as returning international students and other foreigners. However, when I look through Twitter, Americans interpret this method differently. They interpreted this as racism against any foreigners. I do not agree or disagree with any of these posts about COVID-19. From my pointof view, both Chinese and Americans are judging each other from incomplete reports, news, or even just some gossip: Chinese believes other countries are not taking this epidemic seriously and suffer heavily, and in order to avoid outside cases coming in, China should restrict foreigners until they are safe. On the other hand, Amercians believe China and the Chinese are responsible for this epidemic, and that every Chinese is racist and deserves to be discriminated against.
