The first appearance of the Coronavirus in China at the end of last year, and then its spread in Asia, Europe, the two Americas, Africa and Australia, has resulted in an emergency culture in the West with a black outlook on china and Asia; this was clearly touched the Asian Chinese communities in the West and in other countries.
Some began to use the Corona-Phobia, "a new term, which some people invented to embody the state of fear, of all those with Asian features, which amount to racism, in a clear confusion between the place from which the emerging Corona virus spread, which is China, and everyone who is Chinese, or has Asian features, despite the lack of logic for both the linkage and conclusion.
An analyst in sociology and international media in particular can analyze what is published in social media, where comments appear blatant, even in Arab regions and they carry abuses for Asians, in a connection characterized by ignorance, between a region that was the focus of the spread of the virus for specific circumstances, and the people of this region or those who look similar to them even if they live in another part of the world.
Analysts blew the world from practicing Islam-phobia after the spread of the phenomenon of terrorism 2001-2014; they must now fault those who are driving behind the phenomenon of Crona-Phopia against China.
Analysts have to classify and condemn procedural and legal errors, whether they emerged from China or the West without focusing on the practical condemnation of everything blind that is Asian; as analysts did in the phenomenon of terrorism when they separated true Islam; and the deviant Islamic claims of terrorists, whatever their names are.
Today, it is required to deepen and intensify international cooperation to contain the repercussions of the pandemic that rise to the level of the global epidemic; and then to evaluate and correct mistakes and draw lessons from it.
One of the most important Crono-phobia is the creation of a hostile psychological environment among the peoples of the world that contributes to strengthening the evil intentions of some of the world's extremist leaders in returning to use the instrument of bacterial warfare in order to harness the wills of peoples and nations; and to destroy the economies of countries in the interest of expanding the benefits of other countries; Including bacteriological and viral weapons were and are and will remain in order to expand hegemony and benefits.
