Chinese who live in Russia, complained of biased attitude

Fear of contracting the coronavirus 2019-nCoV has changed the attitude of many Russians to the Chinese living in Russia.

The life of visitors from China, long settled in St. Petersburg, complicated.

For example, Chinese merchants working in the historic Apraksin Dvor market complain that they have become suspiciously looked at. St Petersburg University student Xia Yu complained that during a trip on the “Sapsana” caught evil looks, and mainly from young people. Yu also said that when he passed the girl on the same train, she frowned and covered her nose and mouth with her hand.

Another Chinese woman was surprised that her friends began to write to her en masse, wondering how her health was, knowing that she had not been to China for a long time.

There are no fewer customers in Chinese restaurants in St. Petersburg, but their owners complain about the administration’s bias against them. The Chinese manager of one of the St. Petersburg restaurants says that when he took the documents to the MFC, frightened St. Petersburgers literally shunned him.
