THE devastating coronavirus crisis here in Britain and across Europe has sparked increasing examples of racism and xenophobia towards Chinese and other Asian communities. Sadly this has included violent attacks on our streets.
On the international stage, this is mirrored by a refusal to learn from China, Vietnam and other Asian countries in terms of their approach to helping contain the virus and most obviously by President Trump’s stubborn insistence on referring to the coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” in press conferences that are televised all around the world.
The left and labour movement need to be absolutely clear that the global far-right’s increasing use of anti-Chinese and anti-migrant rhetoric is a classic case of divide and rule, aimed at turning workers against each other.
