China Begins Restricting Movement of South Koreans
Yes you read that right, China of all places is beginning to restrict the movement of Koreans that arrive in the country:
More than 50 countries have implemented travel bans or quarantine measures on travelers coming from South Korea as of Friday amid fear of the global spread of the new coronavirus.
In an odd turn of events, they include China, the origin of the disease.
Korean travelers face particular uncertainties flying into China as provinces and cities implement unexpected quarantines. Some Koreans residing there are being shunned by neighbors in apartment complexes.
In a matter of two days, Korea saw its number of coronavirus cases double to over 2,300 as of Friday. The spike comes as health authorities conduct extensive testing on members of a minor Christian sect, Shincheonji, who make up the majority of new cases, which are mostly in the Daegu and North Gyeongsang area.
In contrast, Chinese figures are showing a decrease in its cases, with 327 new cases and 44 new deaths announced as of Friday morning.
Despite the fact that the coronavirus originated in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, China has been tightening its border controls and quarantine measures against travelers coming from Korea since the beginning of the week.

You can read more at the link, but China is having many Koreans who arrive in China go into quarantine for 14 days including all from the Daegu area.
Korea is going to pay the price for reporting its infection stats more honestly than China has been doing. China seems largely to have stopped reporting most new cases, which leads many experts to believe the problem in China is an order of magnitude worse than the CCP wants to reveal. In a just world, the WHO wouldn’t be praising China for its “openness” and “competence” in handling the COVID-19 crisis. In the end, though, I think that the relatively freer flow of information in Korea will help resolve the crisis faster here than will happen in China. Or in North Korea, for that matter.
Ass commie moon still refuses to stop travel from China.
Emperor Xi glad to have Korea take the fall for coronavirus.
Let me get this straight. Bat-eating, disease-spreading Mainland Chinese are targeting and harrassing South Koreans in China for the disease that the Chinese have brought upon Humanity. 😡 All the while, the Korean government refuses to close it’s borders to Chinese students (1 have been tested positive btw) because they don’t want to anger the Chinese. The Chinese commit over 90% of petty crimes in Jeju, South Korea. Why are we allowing these people to come into our countries. I miss the Chinese coming from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. While not perfect, they stayed quiet, worked hard, kept out of trouble and contributed to our Western society 😥 . Mainlanders are brainwashed to love their commie government and work against Western civilization. 😡 😡 😡
@luv4korea, you’ve got to address your question to the Blue House…
