A group of African ambassadors in Beijing had written to China's State Coun. Wang Yi drawing attention to the alleged discrimination that Africans were encountering in Guangzhou, capital of the southern Guangdong province. Denying any such discrimination, the foreign ministry spokesperson reiterated that China treats all foreigners equally. "Chinese authorities must stop this abuse of Africans living and studying in China," U.S. State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said in a tweet. On Sunday, China reported 108 new cases — the most in almost six weeks.
