China lifted a seven-day quarantine for all passengers who arrived in Shanghai on the same flight as a Mexican found to be infected with H1N1 flu, and again denied discriminating against foreigners.

All 128 passengers, including one who had earlier shown flu-like symptoms, on the flight were released from quarantine, said Xinhua, citing a Health Ministry report on Thursday.

The passengers took a May 1 flight from Mexico City, which stopped in Shanghai on its way to Hong Kong.

One Mexican student criticized China's handling of the issue after leaving the Shanghai hotel where he had been quarantined simply for coming into contact with people on the flight.
