Ed Morrissey at Hot Air<\/a> posted an article yesterday about China’s treatment of Mexicans who were visiting China legally last year.  Mr. Morrissey posted the article in response to China lecturing America on its human rights violations–including Arizona’s new immigration law.  This is the story.<\/p>\n

According to Time Magazine<\/a> last May:<\/p>\n

“When AeroMexico Flight 098, the first flight out of Mexico to China since the H1N1 outbreak, arrived in Shanghai in the early morning of April 30, the 25-year-old Mexican tourist who became China’s swine flu patient showed no signs of illness. “He denied having come into close contact with any suspicious case of swine flu within the previous week or having any H1N1 flu symptoms in his health claim form,” said Chen Ming, deputy director of the information center at the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. “His temperature was normal when taken twice at the airport, and he also looked well….But the virus can stay latent for days and still be infectious. The man flew to Hong Kong, where he was later diagnosed with the disease.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a result of this diagnosis, the Chinese government quarantined 70 Mexicans who arrived in China over the May 1 holiday weekend, most on different flights from the infected man.  Reportedly, some of those quarantined were held in “unacceptable conditions.”   China then halted all AeroMexico flights coming into China.  <\/p>\n

Mr. Morrissey points out that the Mexicans entered China legally and were treated very badly.  If China had been that concerned about the Swine Flu, they could have just put all of them on a plane back to Mexico instead of essentially locking them up.  Somehow I don’t think China should be lecturing us on human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
