But when he tried to visit the new office two weeks later, a colleague said the new site, too, would not permit foreigners to enter. But he was told that the building was not admitting foreigners.īy coincidence, the company was already planning to move its office. John Artman, the American editor of a Chinese tech publication, said his office building in Beijing reopened last month after closing during the outbreak. “It is an epidemic, after all,” she said. “We are temporarily not accepting foreign friends and people whose temperature is above 37.3,” read a sign in a hair salon near Beijing’s central business district.Ī salon employee said she didn’t see it as discrimination. In Beijing and Shanghai, foreigners have been barred from some shops and gyms, supposedly as part of a campaign to combat the virus. Officials emphasize that most of China’s new cases are now imported - often without mentioning that many are Chinese citizens returning home.įear of imported infections has at times exploded into, or provided cover for, xenophobia. Last month, China barred virtually all foreigners from entering, even though it had criticized other countries for closing their borders. Though the Chinese government denounced racist attacks against Asians overseas when the outbreak was centered in China, it now casts people from other countries as public health risks. The identification of just one, albeit small, ribbon, with no apparent connection to the corona, leads us to conclude that at least two mechanisms are responsible for the heating that leads to flare ribbon emission.“The real risk that the nationalism poses is to foreign governments’ perception of threat from China,” said Jessica Chen Weiss, a professor at Cornell University who has studied Chinese nationalism.Ĭhina’s heightened us-against-them mentality is perhaps most apparent in its recent strictures aimed at foreigners. Evolving horizontal magnetic fields seen with Hinode suggest that reconnection with preexisting fields below the corona can explain the data. While most ribbons appear connected to the corona and overlie regions of significant vertical magnetic field, we examine one ribbon with no clear evidence for such connections. We study ribbons of small flares using magnetic and intensity data from the Hinode, Solar Dynamics Observatory, and IRIS missions. The identification of just one, albeit small, ribbon, with no apparent connection to the corona, leads us to conclude that at least two mechanisms are responsible for the heating that leads to flare ribbon emission.ĪB - We consider the observational basis for the belief that flare ribbons in the chromosphere result from energy transport from the overlying corona. N2 - We consider the observational basis for the belief that flare ribbons in the chromosphere result from energy transport from the overlying corona. T1 - Are All Flare Ribbons Simply Connected to the Corona?
