A Chinese international student in Ukraine said he feared a physical attack as mainland Chinese netizens mocked Ukraine and its citizens currently under attack by Russian forces.
“I hope people will be rational,” said Feng Jun (pseudonym) in his appeal to netizens at home to stop cracking crude jokes about a country in the middle of a Russian attack. “It will put us overseas Chinese in danger as locals turn the spear on us,” he told the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times.
