  • A video shared on Facebook purportedly shows a Kenyan couple involved in a physical altercation with a Chinese couple in Wuhan, China. Verdict: False The video shows a fight that occurred in New York City. Fact Check: African citizens have reported discrimination under coronavirus mitigation efforts in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. Reports of discrimination include Africans being evicted from their apartments, being tested for coronavirus multiple times without receiving results and being discriminated against in public, according to Reuters . The video caption appears to reference these tensions, claiming the video shows a Kenyan couple exchange blows with a Chinese couple in the streets of Wuhan. The caption is inaccurate, however.

The storefront with the word PayOMatic and the blue sign with the acronym SBH indicate the video was taken near the St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. China has denied allegations of discrimination against Africans from U.S. and African officials, NBC News reported. The Guangdong province, where the city of Guangzhou is located, recently set up a 24-hour hotline for foreigners who experience discrimination, according to BBC News . (en)
