China News Service, May 23, according to the Canadian "Sing Chew Daily" report, the Canadian governor of British Columbia, He Jin, issued a message to residents of British Columbia on the topic of "British residents must unite against racism" on the 21st 'S open letter, angry at someone accused of being the new crown virus, and stressed that the province does not tolerate any racist existence.
He Jin pointed out in his letter that when people go through a crisis, they may arouse the good side, but it may also cause an ugly side. The stories of generous donations, neighbourhood help, and community support for marginalized and disadvantaged groups happen every day in the province. But he said that there were also people accused of being the new crown virus, which made people feel angry and emphasized that there would be no tolerance for any racism. He Jin said that since the outbreak of new pneumonia, hate crimes and racism incidents have been increasing. Some residents were insulted by racist language. Someone was beaten, pushed to the ground, and spit. Canadians with Asian backgrounds are often the victims of these vile acts.
He said that the provincial government has always adopted a zero-tolerance attitude towards discrimination. The Human Rights Commission of British Columbia has been re-established to protect and defend human rights. A brand new "Anti-Race Discrimination Community Network" was also launched to deal with racism, discrimination and hatred in different communities across the province.
For the global pandemic is bringing great challenges and pressure, He Jin understands that people are worried about the health of their loved ones, as well as the damage caused by the epidemic to their families, businesses and communities. However, the pandemic is not anyone's fault. He encourages the public to condemn it sternly when he hears racist remarks. Once he witnesses incidents of hate crimes and racism in the community or workplace, he must stand up and report. In the end, he called for uniting against hatred, showing the most beautiful side in this pandemic, treating each other kindly, keeping calm and safe.
