ADVERTISEMENT "The relevant measures are not directed at Mexican citizens and are not discriminatory," foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a statement posted on the ministry's website. The statement came a day after Mexican diplomats complained bitterly to China, saying their countrymen had been placed under a seven-day quarantine despite showing no signs of swine flu. The A(H1N1) virus , or swine flu, has killed a reported 23 people worldwide, 22 of those in Mexico, according to Mexican and World Health Organization (WHO) figures. "There are other countries that are taking similar action like China, so I don't think China is standing out in this respect," the WHO's resident director in China Hans Troedsson told AFP in an interview. He said the UN health body recommended that countries "take measures to try to prevent the spread" of the influenza A(H1N1) virus, or swine flu. "There are many different measures and quarantine is one of them," he said. A Mexican embassy official told AFP on Monday there were nearly 70 Mexicans quarantined across China, including in Beijing, Shanghai and the southern city of Guangzhou. Some had travelled to China aboard the same flight that carried an infected Mexican man -- Asia's first confirmed swine flu case -- who is now in a Hong Kong hospital. But the Mexican embassy says others arrived on planes from the United States and were quarantined solely because of their nationality. Myrna Elisa Berlanga, 31, a Mexican tourist who arrived in China on Saturday, questioned why she was being quarantined since no one on her flight from the United States had the virus. "Right now we are tired of being confined, not knowing what will happen with us," she told AFP by phone from the hotel near Beijing's airport where she and nine other Mexicans are being isolated. "In my case, it's not the same. Nobody was infected on our plane, so I'm wondering why I have to stay seven days in quarantine." Berlanga did not complain about conditions at the hotel but said they were forced to wait, and were unable to communicate with the Chinese staff who regularly checked their temperatures. Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa has called China's actions "unjustified" and warned Mexicans against visiting China. A Mexican foreign ministry official in Mexico City said on Monday the government was sending a plane to pick up its nationals in China, but it was not immediately clear if that included the 70 in quarantine. The official said only that the repatriation was "directed at all the Mexicans who want to return to Mexico". China's foreign ministry spokesman Ma called for Mexico to be "objective and calm". "China understands the Mexican side's concern for the rights and interests of its citizens in China and hopes Mexico can proceed from the overall standpoint of jointly addressing the epidemic situation," he said. He called the situation "purely a medical quarantine issue". Mexican Ambassador to China Jorge Guajardo complained to AFP on Sunday about the situation. "The only country that we are aware of where (Mexican travellers) are being held in isolation is here in China, and that is something that concerns us very much," he said, as Chinese officials denied him access to the quarantined Mexicans. Mexican embassy officials in China declined to comment to AFP on Monday. Separately, a spokesman for China Southern Airlines told AFP the carrier had cancelled a charter flight that was to have fetched about 120 stranded Chinese citizens in Mexico. However, the spokesman could not confirm whether Mexican anger over the quarantines was behind the cancellation. "The cancellation was instructed by high-level (Chinese) officials," said the spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
