Royal Caribbean bans all Chinese nationals from its cruise ships
The US cruise ship company Royal Caribbean has announced that would-be passengers and crew with Chinese passports will be banned from all of its cruise ships – regardless of when they were last in the country at the centre of the
coronavirus outbreak.
The measure – which also covers people with Hong Kong and Macau passports – comes amid growing concerns over the fast-spreading virus, which has killed more than 600 people and affected individuals in at least 25 countries.
But it was likely to face criticism from Beijing, which has bridled at sweeping travel bans on its citizens, and from human rights activists who have denounced such restrictions as discriminatory........
Well it is discriminatory. There are many Chinese crewmen serving round the globe who haven’t been near the affected area in ages, many Chinese passengers ditto and not a few non Chinese folk who have been affected.
