Recent vicious incidents against Chinese Americans have repeatedly occurred in the United States. Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 23rd that the U.S. government should take responsible measures to solve its own problem of racial discrimination and safeguard and protect the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minorities, including Chinese Americans. At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: a few days ago, AI Mingru, a history professor at Columbia University, analyzed the growing discrimination against Chinese Americans and Asian Americans and its causes. What is the speaker's comment on this? Considering the recent vicious incidents against Chinese Americans in the United States, are you worried about the relevant phenomenon? Zhao Lijian said that relevant reports mentioned that the number of "Asian hate crimes" in New York City alone in September this year surged by 368% compared with the same period last year. According to the data released by the FBI, in 2020, the number of hate crimes against Asians in the United States increased by 76%. The figures are indeed shocking. He said that as we all know, Chinese have made important contributions to the economic and social development of the United States. However, it is a pity that the discrimination against Chinese Americans in the United States has not been corrected with the economic and social development, but has become a persistent disease and cancer in American Society for a long time, which is inseparable from the wanton dissemination of false information related to China by American Anti China forces, smearing and attacking China. Zhao Lijian said that during the epidemic period, a small number of American politicians tried to shirk their responsibility for the weak fight against the epidemic by spreading stigmatization against China, which played a role in fuelling the rise of hate crimes against Asian groups, including Chinese Americans. The relevant lessons are worth learning and should never be repeated. Zhao Lijian said that the recent cases against Chinese citizens and people of Chinese descent in the United States have aroused public shock and indignation in both China and the United States. The US government should seriously listen to the just voice of people of insight at home and abroad, take responsible measures to solve its own racial discrimination, and safeguard and protect the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic minorities, including ethnic Chinese groups.
