China warns against travel to Australia - JUNE 6 2020 - 4:33AM

China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has advised the public to avoid travelling to Australia, citing racial discrimination and violence against Chinese people in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There has been an alarming increase recently in acts of racial discrimination and violence against Chinese and Asians in Australia, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic," the ministry said in a statement on Friday evening.
It did not give any specific examples of such discrimination or violence.
Asians of various backgrounds have said they have been harassed since the outbreak of the coronavirus, including in the United States.
China issued a warning to tourists travelling to the US earlier this year after some said they were mistreated in connection with the outbreak.
