The text addresses the risks involving xenophobia against the Chinese on the internet, and social networks, from the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to demonstrating how irrational this manifestation is, especially the idea of virus creation in a laboratory. For this purpose, historical examples of how xenophobic prejudice is meaningless and have damaged humanity's trajectory in all world regions are addressed. Finally, I warn about the need to use science to confront the new coronavirus and abandon conspiracy theories.
本文论述了新冠疫情期间互联网和社交网络上针对中国人的仇外心理风险,此外还表明了这种表现是多么不合理,尤其是关于在实验室制造病毒的观点。为此,文中探讨了仇外偏见毫无意义并在世界所有地区损害人类发展轨迹的历史事例。最后,我提醒人们需要利用科学来对抗新型冠状病毒并摒弃阴谋论。
