MEXICO CITY, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Mexicans who returned home on Wednesday from quarantines in China expressed understanding of the precautious measures taken by the Chinese government.

Contemporary artist Roberto Arcaute, who had been living in China since 2007, said that "they (the Chinese authorities) treated me really well."

The measures taken by the Chinese authorities were "just a preventive measure and by no means discrimination," he said.

"They treated me well, I was in a hotel," said Arcaute, adding that he had been provided hermetic suits and other sanitary materials.

Arcaute was among 136 Mexicans who had been put into quarantine in different Chinese cities for possible A/H1N1 flu infections.
