    Considering their social scoring scheme, Chinese citizens better heed the warning.

    You know its funny - our media went into overdrive promoting hate against the Chinese at beginning of pandemic. As a result there was an increase in Asian-Australians being attacked and abused here. PM Scott Morrison even commented on it -

    Prime Minister Scott Morrison has once again slammed perpetrators of racial abuse stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, telling Australians to simply "stop it".

    --

    Asian-Australians have frequently been reporting an increase in racist attacks and abuse since COVID-19 was first discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of last year.
    "I deplore that sort of behaviour against any Australian regardless of their ethnicity or their religion or whatever it happens to be. And I think that is the view of all Australians. So we have to call that sort of thing up. It's not on," he said on Tuesday.
    --

    A database set up to track incidents of anti-Asian abuse during the pandemic had received more than 170 responses in the two weeks since it was launched, SBS News revealed last week.
    The Australian Human Rights Commission has also reported a spike in racial complaints in recent months, with 32 per cent of complaints made in February COVID-19 related.

    Then after China urges citizens to avoid Australia our trade minister - part of Morrison front bench - says that his government rejects Chinas assertions because they have no basis in fact...

    "We reject China's assertions in this statement, which have no basis in fact," Senator Birmingham told AAP in a statement on Saturday.
    "Our rejection of these claims, which have been falsely made by Chinese officials previously, is well known to them."

    Ha.

    edit - I remember USA putting out a travel warning after we had an anti-American Muslim protest ( which was called a riot even though it really wasnt one ) here a few years ago..
