According to reports, some restaurants in South Korea, Japan and Vietnam have refused to accept customers from mainland China. This is partly due to "some negative reports from foreign media," said Lu, a marketing executive in Beijing who often travels abroad with her boyfriend during the Spring Festival, but cancelled plans after the news of the outbreak surfaced.
Some countries are facing calls for a total ban on Chinese tourists. Recent events in Japan also suggest that xenophobia is on the rise. Chinese runners have been asked to voluntarily give up their participation in the Tokyo Marathon on March 1, according to Tokyo Metropolitan governor Akiko Koike. This year's marathon will see nearly 10000 international runners, 18% of whom are from mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao. According to the organizers, runners who choose to give up can postpone their eligibility to 2021. Similar measures will be taken at the Kyoto marathon, which will be held on Sunday. This practice of "bringing Chinese athletes out alone" has aroused fierce opposition. The decision "further exacerbates incitement to discrimination against Chinese in Japan," according to a Japanese based anti racial discrimination information center.
