China News Service, Beijing, August 18 (Wen Tianxia) Recently, the United States Census Bureau announced a survey that admitted that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were twice as many Asian American families as white families without adequate food sources.

The latest report from the US "Stop Hatred of Asian-Pacific Americans" organization is even more shocking.

The report shows that from the outbreak of the new crown epidemic to June 2021, the organization received a total of 9,081 reports of hate incidents against Asian groups.

On April 17, local time, hundreds of people participated in a rally against discrimination against Asians in Millbrae, San Francisco Bay Area.

With the outbreak and spread of the new crown epidemic, incidents of discrimination and violence against Asian groups have surged in American society.

　　On the streets of the United States, a 61-year-old Asian man was knocked to the ground for no reason and repeatedly kicked his head; a 94-year-old Asian woman was attacked and stabbed; an 80-year-old Asian man was inexplicably robbed by two young men And assault...

　　These heinous atrocities all occurred in 2021.

However, they are only the tip of the iceberg.

　　The types of hate incidents range from verbal and online harassment to physical attacks. More than 63% of the attacked objects are women, and most incidents occur in public places.

　　Asians, especially Chinese in the United States, generally give the impression of diligence and contentment. During the epidemic, there was a shortage of food, which is incredible.

　　The reason for this situation is not because of financial affordability or transportation problems, but because Asians are "afraid of going out."

In their eyes, the world outside the home seems to be becoming more and more dangerous.

　　The self-proclaimed "human rights beacon" of the United States is showing the world its "black under the light" side. The way some people in American society treat Asians has aroused widespread criticism from the international community.

　　In addition to the systemic racial discrimination in the United States, the current difficult situation of Asian Americans is inseparable from the failure of the "American anti-epidemic" and the continued spread of "political viruses" by some politicians.

　　Since the outbreak of the epidemic, some American politicians have regarded anti-epidemic work as their political bargaining chip, and have not really put people's lives first.

This not only led to the death of more than 600,000 people in the United States due to the new crown, but also triggered a series of social problems such as the high unemployment rate and the further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor.

　　In order to divert the contradiction, the creators of the "Chinese Virus Theory" represented by President Trump directly turned the Asian community into a scapegoat for the new crown epidemic.

　　Although the Democratic Party government announced a series of measures to oppose racial discrimination after it came to power, the practice of "sweeping the pot" on the epidemic can be said to be in the same line as the Trump administration, and it is far behind.

　　The "Stop Hatred of Asian and Pacific Americans" organization pointed out that under the epidemic, racism and xenophobia in the United States have only increased, not weakened.

If U.S. officials continue to mobilize public opinion and let Chinese and Chinese people "back the pot" for the spread of the new crown epidemic, the situation will only get worse.

　　In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying has pointed out that American politicians have been trying to spread stigmatizing remarks by slandering China all over the world, to "convict" others and "to blame" for themselves.

　　Hua Chunying pointed out that the U.S.'s practice of dumping blame has aggravated the discrimination, bullying, hatred, and attack of Asians in American society, and has made the already very serious problem of racial discrimination even worse. Spared.

An epidemic has exposed the ignorance and incompetence of some US politicians, and has exacerbated social tears and turmoil. However, it is the ordinary American people who suffer painful losses and injuries.

　　In today's American society, the chronic disease of racial discrimination can be said to have penetrated into the bone marrow. It is basically a fantasy to cure it in a short period of time.

Some of the measures introduced by the US authorities only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and have not really touched the pain points of Asians.

　　However, some American politicians can start today, stop spreading the "political virus", find the bottom line of human conscience, and devote their energy to fighting the epidemic.

If this situation continues, American society will only be torn apart. Who will bear the cost of conflict?

Who will pay for the pain of the Asian people?
