Mexico and China at odds over swine flu travellers
Mexico and China are at odds over how China is receiving travellers from Mexico in the wake of the swine flu pandemic. China is holding Mexicans in quarantine after one was found to have the swine flu. Some 400 Mexicans are being held with most in the Metrohawk hotel in Hong Kong.
Ambassador Jorge Guajardo said many of them had no connection with the Shanghai-Hong Kong flight which carried the infected Mexican man. "We are objecting to the fact that they are holding Mexicans in isolation for fear that they might have the flu virus, even though they have no signs of having the flu virus," he said.
Guajardo attempted to visit the quarantined but was denied access by Chinese officials.
America's historic Chinatowns, home for a century to immigrants seeking social support and refuge from racism, are fading as rising living costs, jobs elsewhere and a desire for wider spaces lure Asian-Americans more than ever to the suburbs.
