Earlier, Kevin McCarthy, Republican Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives, shared articles about the epidemic on personal social media and used the term "China Coronavirus", which caused controversy.

This is racist remarks and disappointing. Your defense of this word It is ignorant. There are heroes fighting the virus all over the world. Please do n’t promote racism while promoting them. "
On the 12th, Lin Shuhao posted a long post on social media, once again condemning racial discrimination. "In the past few weeks, I have been paying attention to the dark side of coronavirus and society. Numerous news headlines with racial discrimination and xenophobia have emerged endlessly. Attacks on Asians and mistrust between people have made people feel cold."
"But I still see hope. Medical workers in countries like China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Italy make me respect. I also see that there are still some people who don't care about race and background and are willing to help each other."
"Less hate, more empathy. Let us pay attention to the person who made 16,000 meals for frontline workers. Let us thank the doctor who delayed his wedding and participated in the rescue but eventually died. He is a hero. Let We are beaten out for a fair deal for our Asian friends. Let us learn from them and act to help those in need. "
