China’s Unique Way to Avoid Monkey Pox
China has a unique way of combating the new Monkey Pox outbreak that was just announced by chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Wu Zunyou.
While the rest the world has announced avoiding contact with known infected members and practicing basic sanitation measures like washing hands and bed clothes, China has added an additional measure: Chinese citizens should avoid “contact with foreigners.”
As soon as the CDC in China made the announcement on the social media site, Weibo, comments immediately went up. “How racist is this? What about the ones like me who have been living in China for almost ten years?” One foreigner wrote. “We haven’t seen our families in like 3-4 years due to borders being closed,” wrote another Weibo user, who appeared to be foreign.
Though the new rule might seem racist at first, it actually very conveniently goes hand-in-hand with China’s goal to restrict contact with foreign missionaries. In 2019, China increased their pressure on foreign missionaries and since Covid-19, more missionaries have been forced out of the country.
China sees foreign missionaries as a major problem. Foreign missionaries have been providing Bibles that China has tried to restrict over and over. They have provided training that China has banned and they have provided support that China feels is a direct threat to national security.
Now, with Monkey Pox, China has added another reason to avoid contact with foreign missionaries, regardless of how racist it sounds to the rest of the world.

You’re absolutely right. Washing hands and wearing gloves again and face masks will prevent the spread. Like other viruses and stomach flu and pink eye these spread rapidly on contact by touching things. Door handles, railings, table tops, faucet handles and other surface contact. You people in China are smart and know how to stop the spread of infectious diseases because you always faithfully wear masks during cold and flu season and the Chinese people don’t have belly aches and have hissy fits and tantrums over wearing masks like people in the United States do. During Covid when they entered stores and places with no mask on and Managers and Employees or other shoppers told them they cant shop here or eat here these Americans threw shoe boxes at the employees and even shot at the employees in McDonalds and threw the entire masks display on the floor of Target cursing at the employees then saying look at my $45,000 Rolex watch and they even threw meat at the store Manager in a food store and in another store they threw an entire shopping cart of food on the floor cursing at the employees all because they were told to wear a mask and a man pulled a Gun out of his jeans and aimed it at the Fathers face holding his 4 year old daughter’ hand in Walmart and in Staples a woman shoved another customer who fell to the ground and hit her head. . So Americans here couldn’t wait to rip off the mask.
Please pray and if you are led go live in China this is to the person posting above.
