Qin Gang said that racial discrimination, Social inequality is a serious problem that has existed in American society for a long time.

In the past two years, due to the severe and complicated situation in Sino-US relations, some anti-China politicians in the United States have used various reasons, including the use of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, to stigmatize and demonize China, seriously misleading American society's perception of Chinese people.

Overseas Chinese and other Asian ethnic groups in the United States feel more and more discrimination and even threats to their personal safety.

In our daily contact with the US side, we have raised it as a prominent issue, made solemn representations to the US side, and asked the US side to take concrete measures to safeguard and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the overseas Chinese, especially to solve the problem from the root.

That is to say, stop making all kinds of false accusations against China and stop spreading all kinds of rumors, lies and false information about China.
