Congestions to professor Nguyen for putting the facts together in such good way. Americans for centuries imported Asians and Africans and used them as cheap labour and when their usefulness are over, left them to their own devices to be hated and persecuted by the locals. Blinken's very unfriendly speech in Tokyo prior to the Alaska meeting is full of hypocrisy because America is the one that uses force and coercion and disregard International laws to suit itself. Has he no conscience?
Not to muddy the waters, but the first person killed after 9/11 was a Sikh guy wearing a turban. I believe in Texas. The person thought he was hitting an Arab when he was harming an Indian. 'Other' is how we make people not 'us'. We Americans need to learn more about world history and other religions -- about time we change ourselves to see each of us and around the world as equals.
Nguyen is courageous to speak out. He may face atrocity from some section of Asian, particularly Vietnamese diaspora against him & even his family. I'd read many comments from non Chinese Asians who living in the the US, Canada, Australia & the likes who sang 'China Virus' along with Trump. Not long ago, in a Hollywood Wild West movies, a character played by John Wayne said to this effect: "A good Indian is a dead Indian". Another line: "A moderate Muslim is a Muslim runs out of ammunition" from an American author Nelson DeMille"
we all knew he was going to be a joker himself when he was appointed, given his antidemocratic, war-profiteering past in politics and MIC-funded think-tanks.
Regarding Tibet, don't forget the British massacre of Tibetans in 1904. Don't forget the American genocide in Vietnam Don't also forget the invasion of Korea in order to divide that country to surround China, and to pitch Asians against Asians in order to contain the Yellow Peril.
They bombed my country as bad as your country, we pose no threat to them whatsoever, they are racist they just wanted to tested the bomb on us, uncle Ho never want to fight with Amerikka, but he was push against wall I am thankful him and my king so much without them we would be sitting in the reservation like the Native American now.
This can be seen as victim blaming but no one is talking about how the Asian community’s support for conservative policies and politicians have contributed to these attacks. The Atlanta shooter legally purchased a gun just hours before the attack. In the days before the Atlanta shootings The Asian community in Oakland CA was calling looser gun laws in response to an attack on an elderly Asian man.
It is a pleasure to listen to Professor Nguyen, albeit Amy turning to him for geopolitical opinions is over reach, This isn't the case in speaking of American prejudices and bigotry rhetoric albeit, speaking of Japan-American Alliance, Secy of State positions on China & Japan is more than a little over the head of literature professor, even one politically active. TYVM for Prof,Nguyen deferring to women for a more appropriate position on sexist violence.
I’m worried more on the CIA/Military Industrial Complex and the BS MSM Anti-China propaganda...including Amy Goodman on this Channel. You want real journalism, watch “The GrayZone.”
Capitalism is competition; not war, lies, stealing resources, meddling in elections of other nations on behalf of corporations and oligarchs. China is doing what it needs to do to eliminate poverty, build its infrastructure, all while trying to not increase defense budget.
華玉講堂-Daoism Auditorium 華玉講堂-Daoism Auditorium 1 day ago The following is what I borrowed from a Malaysian TH-camr’s comment: I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.
There is a saying that Tupac made famous, paraphrasing here to preserve my freedom of speech. "The People you love to hate." These perverse fetishes do not make these people exclusive from hate in other words just because of a shallow appreciation of entertainment but in fact a true mental disorder. Also a disorder of this ilk; If the enslavement of people were to be acknowledged as human trafficking and synonymous with the sex crimes that happened in tandem under US government for hundreds of years maybe we could get closer to reconciliation for all people..
When Obama described K Harris, it had nothing to do with her professional attributes. Rather, he described her as "best looking DA". I know she isn't East Asian, but these kind of derogatory " compliments" are just everywhere.
I would suggest that a lack of financial support and a living wage has angry people acting out against each other. Directed by the politics of old. Focus your efforts on improving the standards of living, so the social education required for living together peacefully as one can be embraced by all. Stop the hate!
Are we still going to allow illegal activities and human trafficking to go on at all these "massage"parlors? If a disgruntled customer of a business that illegally offers sex acts returns to harm the employees whom obviously has had sexual relations with them, is that a hate crime? George Floyd was employed at the same business as chauvin. They were coworkers. Is that case a hate crime? They were known to each other. If you kill someone you know over issues between you, is that a hate crime? These are honest questions, because black people are being scapegoated and these Asians are demanding more crime bills, which hurt black people. These Asians are calling us out on the lack of solidarity. These questions need to be answered especially since a vietnamese helped murder George Floyd. IS THAT A HATE CRIME?? The representative sounds unbalanced. You are blaming black people. YOU got here in the 70's we have been fighting for hundreds. Four months ago y'all were holding defund the police signs. Now, en masse you demand congress pass crime bills and demand policing where you KNOW black Americans are being killed. Black people have only one face... There's none of that ambiguity in this. Get real and stop blaming if working together truly is .... Me so horny? That came out of a war movie, but its two live crew that's referenced and this guy said the over sexualization of asian happen in part because of a line in a rap song.............. I can't even anymore. Wow.
No Asians should face this hate. Hopefully 🙏🏾 it gets better for Asians but please tell Asians in China to stop mistreating the innocent Africans in China and mistreatment of Africans in Africa by the Chinese.
@rollinia I agree with you sad situation is that Chinese are mistreated themselves by their goverment . And of course more good Chinese citizens then the few bad ones like every nation .
Ginglish grandson I don't see people who look like Xi go shoot at the black church or Muslim temple neither in African town in Guangzhou nor in Muslim region in North west China such Lanzhou, or XinJiang, but I did saw guy look like Trump went to rampage shooting at black church, Asian Spa in US.
Recognizing China's threat to American trade and other interests or their record on human rights abuses shouldn't be blamed for fueling anti-Chinese sentiment. The issue is the language that is used in discussions, as well as politicians using their pulpit to promulgate racist smears and propaganda around those discussions.
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.
The history of a people's leadership and followers of Asian descent has not been good to its entirety of the Afruikan people throughout history. The answer of solidarity is "hell no" to help in your fight. Being the most hated when nobody, of so called colored, has your back a friend no allies. Indo-Europeans you will fight your own battles with no help from this orginal man and anybody I know.
Unequal wealth is a HATE CRIME at the TOP of the list! The rich look down their noses at the 99.9% of the world’s people! And they don’t want to have equal wealth...especially not worldwide! Equality means equal wealth worldwide! We should force the rich people to redistribute money equally worldwide ASAP because it never should have been distributed unequally in the first place! No one is free until there is equal wealth worldwide! It’s evil to think “what if no one will work” rather than ending world poverty ASAP! Think of saving starving innocent babies! God looks down on USA and sees gross imperfection because we leave millions of Americans homeless and starving, plus billions worldwide! They’re eliminating all the jobs! Now you should see why we should redistribute money equally worldwide!
5:15 *CONDOLENCES* are in order! If Democracy NOW! became a parody news outlet tomorrow, I don't think I'd notice a difference. Homeboy is Vietnamese, but that's Chinese-adjacent so why not have him comment on anti-Chinese sentiment? Also, people he probably never met were killed thousands of miles away from him, but they probably looked vaguely similar to him so offer him condolences. Aren't these microagressions?
ADOS is always present for all groups when they are hurting. The "people of color" are not present in significant numbers for Black people in protests. The anti-Asian hate has been media propagandized as being largely from Blacks when everyone with eyes can see who is anti-Asian.
My Good man the police and every body ells knows all about Asian Sex workers it is in fact an open secret we just don't talk about the so called model minority in those terms but as i said in my last post there are plenty of these establishment's right here in NY and i have seen what went on in Vietnam and Thailand Just Lie and say it's not true but what about Peter Liang did he not kill a innocent black man coming out of his apartment and did that Asian judge not sentence him to prison even though he was convicted of the crime did the Asian community all across America come out in support of Peter Liang in protest what about Dirty Dick Danny Holtsclaw who raped 30 black women including a grand mother did not Michel Malcom and other Asians come out for his support before and after his conviction and Ms Malcom is still trying to get him out of prison for his crimes so please tell us why we should have empathy for people who do not have empathy for others
I've been in education for over 40 years. I've never heard anyone in education say anything ugly about Asian students or parents. On the contrary, they were among the hardest and most polite in our classes.
This interview was supposed to be about racism toward Asians. But this guest turned it into a predominately Chinese propaganda piece against USA Gvt. Policy toward China. He did that to the degree that the majority of his script could just as well have been written for him by the CPC. Shame on you DN for letting that happen like that.
You cannot separate geopolitics and foreign policy from racism. With both democrats and republicans (the centre-right militarists and far right militarists) ramping up hostile and xenophobic propaganda against China, and the mainstream media being their willing tools, this racism will get much much worse.
@@Kavino Your point could be an element of racism about Asians worthy of incidental mention by Viet Thanh Nguyen. But instead he relegated the supposed central topic of possible racism toward Asians to being an ostensible topic to instead his "CCP propaganda script" about the Chinese Gvt. vs USA Gvt. . His DN interview is a thinly veiled manipulation of the American press biased in favor of China, which is what you accuse the USA Gvt. of doing against China. Further the CCP does not manipulate its press, but instead essentially "strong arm" controls it, as well as China attempts to control otherwise free press increasingly within its borders. Simply your reply is also CCP Centric. Are you guys on the CCP payroll per se, or what? .
This Asian Immigrant should answer this question for me i am a Black Vietnam Vet and although we can understand what people do to survive in war time but can this man please explain why we have all these Asian houses of ill repute that i know exist because in my younger years i have visited a few myself right here in NYC one of the richest city's in the world where it is absolutely not necessary to survive Americans also go to Asian country's for sex vacations before the US made laws against traveling to asia for that purpose and why do they sell there children and let this author deny all of this and try to tell less traveled Americans that this is not true
... someone could say the same thing about african americans, and that would be racist and untrue, just as when you say it about asians it is a racist generalization and untrue. I bet you are just a troll, but if you arent you should look in the mirror and consider yourself.
@@whhe11 People do say the same thing about African Americans and guess what the Asians that want so much sympathy were very much part of those people saying and going along with that crap do you remember all the black women getting beat up by Asians while shopping in there shops or getting there nails done or did that somehow slip your mind
Well, China is going to surpass the US pretty early. (Caused by US greed) It remains to be seen wether the US Empire will take that without counteraction. If the US does not like China's actions, it should definitely have considered this earlier.
Yeah idk what the plan is of anti chinese ideolouges. Like we can't go to war with China, or even proxy war we lost vietnam and took massive casualties in korea which both were essentially proxy wars with China, plus they're nuclear armed and not stupid, it's been 50+ years for them to prepare for a war with the US that the US has very clearly been interested in for the last century. How can we go to war or have any conflict, even trade wars with a nation who supplies all our shit and is inseparably linked economically with all our major corporations, like what is the plan besides having a scapegoat to win elections, well decreasing quality of life domestically.
@@whhe11 I trust the Pentagon has seen intricate discussions about these points. That is probably why the Pentagon does not seem to be keen on a conflict with Iran, a nation delighted to spread their influence after the US removed their worst enemy. Such a conflict would require up to 2 mill troops, last 50 years and hand China free reign in its region.
@sofocies confucius You make a valid point. China is mistreating Blacks in Africa. But Asians should also rethink how they treat Blacks shopping in their stores.
Please! People don't hate Asians. I living in Silicon Valley many of my co-worker's and friends are Asians. I've never seen a single incident. Maybe it happens somewhere, but it's hardly widespread and applies to so few people that it's ridiculous. If this was anti-asian violence, why did he just not drive down to Chinatown on the main drag in Atlanta, Peachtree? Instead he drives all over Atlanta to find "massage parlors." Curious. Think people, think about the likely reason he went there. The media is not known for their intelligence or attention to detail. That doesn't sell headlines. If I was to guess, none of these victims really want their stories told.
Username checks out. Idk how you think you're gonna convince people anti asian hate doesn't exist well demonizing china and pushing the agenda of sanctions and nuclear war directed at the asian population. People like you claim to hate the CCP but not asian people and yet all policy proposal's fueled by your ideology don't hurt the CCP they hurt chinese citizens... Curious, I guess you're thinking makes no sense, unless... You don't care that Asian lives will be lost, which would suggest that you are in fact racist against asians.
@@whhe11 Just so you understand the CCP is a police state government, it is not a 'race.' To the extent *you* want to categorize people by race, the people living in China (Han or otherwise) are the biggest victims of all. The policy proposals were designed to break the power CCP ... unless you think genocide of their Uyghur people's, forced sterilization, forced organ harvesting, concentration camps, arbitrary rule of 'laws', imprisonment of doctors and journalists, no free expression, no right to gather, or even travel to the next town is a good thing ... your call on that one. As for me, I consider that to be the worst crime perpetrated on Asians anywhere on the planet. But, that's just me. Considering the fact that my best friend was born and raised in Shanghai, and hates the CCP with a passion that makes me seem like a sympathizer, I'm pretty much inclined to say that, no I'm not racist against Asians. Again, your call. Perhaps I have more of them in my life and so may have a better view of it. BTW, how many years have you lived in Asia for? Any? I have. My experience with Asians has been almost entirely positive (excepting some rat souvlaki in Guangzhou which was pretty nasty.) Since you seem to be like many Americans ... don't make the mistake of believing China the Chinese people and the CCP are the same thing. Unless you belive Nazi's and the Germans are the same thing ... every item you buy from China helps the CCP grind the faces of the Chinese people further into the mud. Think about who may hate Asians, it might be you.
@@zo7096 let's try again. If the perp wanted to commit a hate crime against one specific group of people, why does he drive all over hell's half acre to do it? I got a better idea. If you want to kill Asians go to a place where lots of Asians are. Especially when its close? Why drive all over town to several locations to do it? He hit those places because they were "massage parlors." Think it through for God's sake. You know he has a sex addiction problem. He went to those businesses for a very specific reason. Because he hated Asians is not that reason ... quite the contrary I suspect. Do you do any of your own thinking, or do you just let these "journalists" tell you what to think? Don't sell yourself short. It is very likely you are smarter than they are, I know I am. Put the pieces together, this POS murdered those women because of _what_ the were, not _who_ they were. Perhaps it is you who suffers from linear thinking. You can bet the cops have figured it out. Wouldn't you love to see his computer search history? Or his phone? The fact that he drove across town to the second location ... to another 'massage parlor' should have immediately set off the alarm bells. Think for yourself. Journalists are not smart people.
I can't recall any author I've seen interviewed w/ their own books displayed like that. Vanity? I doubt Stephen King has A SINGLE BOOK of his haha, in the background when he goes on a podcast.
Congestions to professor Nguyen for putting the facts together in such good way. Americans for centuries imported Asians and Africans and used them as cheap labour and when their usefulness are over, left them to their own devices to be hated and persecuted by the locals.

No, no conscience.
Racism & Capitalism are conjoined..
Fighting one & not the other is futile.
What a nightmare. Hopefully one day US will be in peace inside their borders and in peace outside the borders.
You have more hopes than me for this hegemonic empire.

Not long ago, in a Hollywood Wild West movies, a character played by John Wayne said to this effect:
"A good Indian is a dead Indian". Another line: "A moderate Muslim is a Muslim runs out of ammunition" from an American author Nelson DeMille"

tony blinken has to go out there and say that because we are a joke on the global stage and can no longer exercise soft power

Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China.
Everything China does is negatively reported.
They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic,
When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.
When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.
When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.
Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world.
I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.
There is a saying that Tupac made famous, paraphrasing here to preserve my freedom of speech. "The People you love to hate." These perverse fetishes do not make these people exclusive from hate in other words just because of a shallow appreciation of entertainment but in fact a true mental disorder. Also a disorder of this ilk; If the enslavement of people were to be acknowledged as human trafficking and synonymous with the sex crimes that happened in tandem under US government for hundreds of years maybe we could get closer to reconciliation for all people..
You'll never get "closer to reconcilliation for all people" until you refuse to accept the behavior and that won't happen by talking about it.
Thank you so much for being it together for me. I really appreciate it, you are 100% right.
And fuck Tupac. Eventually a thug, gun-runner and preacher of bullshit values.
All these Europeans out here hating, smdh.
Ha ha ha you jealous
Where is your proof? Where is the cctv footage of the killings ? Lol you can never prove it
I bet you are Jewish
When Obama described K Harris, it had nothing to do with her professional attributes. Rather, he described her as "best looking DA". I know she isn't East Asian, but these kind of derogatory " compliments" are just everywhere.
Derogatory ???
I would suggest that a lack of financial support and a living wage has angry people acting out against each other. Directed by the politics of old. Focus your efforts on improving the standards of living, so the social education required for living together peacefully as one can be embraced by all. Stop the hate!
Our homosapien ancestors are originally from Africa, we're all Africans
There was a report done on why Asian's were put in internment camps during WW2. The long & short answer; racism.
Are we still going to allow illegal activities and human trafficking to go on at all these "massage"parlors? If a disgruntled customer of a business that illegally offers sex acts returns to harm the employees whom obviously has had sexual relations with them, is that a hate crime?
George Floyd was employed at the same business as chauvin. They were coworkers. Is that case a hate crime? They were known to each other. If you kill someone you know over issues between you, is that a hate crime? These are honest questions, because black people are being scapegoated and these Asians are demanding more crime bills, which hurt black people. These Asians are calling us out on the lack of solidarity. These questions need to be answered especially since a vietnamese helped murder George Floyd. IS THAT A HATE CRIME??
The representative sounds unbalanced. You are blaming black people. YOU got here in the 70's we have been fighting for hundreds. Four months ago y'all were holding defund the police signs. Now, en masse you demand congress pass crime bills and demand policing where you KNOW black Americans are being killed. Black people have only one face... There's none of that ambiguity in this. Get real and stop blaming if working together truly is .... Me so horny? That came out of a war movie, but its two live crew that's referenced and this guy said the over sexualization of asian happen in part because of a line in a rap song..............
I can't even anymore. Wow.
No Asians should face this hate. Hopefully 🙏🏾 it gets better for Asians but please tell Asians in China to stop mistreating the innocent Africans in China and mistreatment of Africans in Africa by the Chinese.
@L they raise money for them .they support them
@rollinia I agree with you sad situation is that Chinese are mistreated themselves by their goverment . And of course more good Chinese citizens then the few bad ones like every nation .
Chinese Exclusions Act 1882 etc was enacted before CCP even existed. Tells you everything
Ginglish grandson I don't see people who look like Xi go shoot at the black church or Muslim temple neither in African town in Guangzhou nor in Muslim region in North west China such Lanzhou, or XinJiang, but I did saw guy look like Trump went to rampage shooting at black church, Asian Spa in US.
@@fredyy2514 Banning China from ISS is modern days Chinese Exclusion Act.
Recognizing China's threat to American trade and other interests or their record on human rights abuses shouldn't be blamed for fueling anti-Chinese sentiment. The issue is the language that is used in discussions, as well as politicians using their pulpit to promulgate racist smears and propaganda around those discussions.
Regardless of motive. Race is important.
America regulates cars not guns.

✨💕💖 LOVE TO ASIANS! 💖💕✨
The history of a people's leadership and followers of Asian descent has not been good to its entirety of the Afruikan people throughout history. The answer of solidarity is "hell no" to help in your fight.
Being the most hated when nobody, of so called colored, has your back a friend no allies. Indo-Europeans you will fight your own battles with no help from this orginal man and anybody I know.
I have seen so little coverage of Asian Americans in the news
Unequal wealth is a HATE CRIME at the TOP of the list! The rich look down their noses at the 99.9% of the world’s people! And they don’t want to have equal wealth...especially not worldwide! Equality means equal wealth worldwide! We should force the rich people to redistribute money equally worldwide ASAP because it never should have been distributed unequally in the first place! No one is free until there is equal wealth worldwide! It’s evil to think “what if no one will work” rather than ending world poverty ASAP! Think of saving starving innocent babies! God looks down on USA and sees gross imperfection because we leave millions of Americans homeless and starving, plus billions worldwide! They’re eliminating all the jobs! Now you should see why we should redistribute money equally worldwide!
Joe Biden spread the same hate.
What you expect from that guy is white supremacist himself. I heard this from my white coworker, first I did not believe him but now I do.
👍
Where is the cctv video of the killings
5:15 *CONDOLENCES* are in order! If Democracy NOW! became a parody news outlet tomorrow, I don't think I'd notice a difference.
Homeboy is Vietnamese, but that's Chinese-adjacent so why not have him comment on anti-Chinese sentiment? Also, people he probably never met were killed thousands of miles away from him, but they probably looked vaguely similar to him so offer him condolences. Aren't these microagressions?
Free Palestinians!!!
Look up the name LEGEND SMALLS he was a 1 YEAR OLD BLACK CHILD shot in Houston!!!!!!!
ADOS is always present for all groups when they are hurting. The "people of color" are not present in significant numbers for Black people in protests. The anti-Asian hate has been media propagandized as being largely from Blacks when everyone with eyes can see who is anti-Asian.
@@chioma3100 But the media as you said wants to make this a BLACK vs ASIAN thing and they sit around and do nothing.
Makes one wonder.
My Good man the police and every body ells knows all about Asian Sex workers it is in fact an open secret we just don't talk about the so called model minority in those terms but as i said in my last post there are plenty of these establishment's right here in NY and i have seen what went on in Vietnam and Thailand Just Lie and say it's not true but what about Peter Liang did he not kill a innocent black man coming out of his apartment and did that Asian judge not sentence him to prison even though he was convicted of the crime did the Asian community all across America come out in support of Peter Liang in protest what about Dirty Dick Danny Holtsclaw who raped 30 black women including a grand mother did not Michel Malcom and other Asians come out for his support before and after his conviction and Ms Malcom is still trying to get him out of prison for his crimes so please tell us why we should have empathy for people who do not have empathy for others
Isn't life just life?
The murderer said it had nothing to do with race.
I've been in education for over 40 years. I've never heard anyone in education say anything ugly about Asian students or parents. On the contrary, they were among the hardest and most polite in our classes.
What's your point? This is the typical talking point of how Asians are the model minority. Even positive stereotypes are harmful to minorities.
@@Alaskan-Armadillo You're right. Being positive isn't a good thing.
You always get back the hate you give.
This interview was supposed to be about racism toward Asians. But this guest turned it into a predominately Chinese propaganda piece against USA Gvt. Policy toward China. He did that to the degree that the majority of his script could just as well have been written for him by the CPC. Shame on you DN for letting that happen like that.
You cannot separate geopolitics and foreign policy from racism. With both democrats and republicans (the centre-right militarists and far right militarists) ramping up hostile and xenophobic propaganda against China, and the mainstream media being their willing tools, this racism will get much much worse.
@@Kavino Your point could be an element of racism about Asians worthy of incidental mention by Viet Thanh Nguyen.
But instead he relegated the supposed central topic of possible racism toward Asians to being an ostensible topic to instead his "CCP propaganda script" about the Chinese Gvt. vs USA Gvt. .
His DN interview is a thinly veiled manipulation of the American press biased in favor of China, which is what you accuse the USA Gvt. of doing against China.
Further the CCP does not manipulate its press, but instead essentially "strong arm" controls it, as well as China attempts to control otherwise free press increasingly within its borders.
Simply your reply is also CCP Centric. Are you guys on the CCP payroll per se, or what?
.
Were the axis the bad guys
An academic take on troubled Black-Asian race relations seems to be missing. Asian and Black racial supremacism also needs to be called out.
This Asian Immigrant should answer this question for me i am a Black Vietnam Vet and although we can understand what people do to survive in war time but can this man please explain why we have all these Asian houses of ill repute that i know exist because in my younger years i have visited a few myself right here in NYC one of the richest city's in the world where it is absolutely not necessary to survive Americans also go to Asian country's for sex vacations before the US made laws against traveling to asia for that purpose and why do they sell there children and let this author deny all of this and try to tell less traveled Americans that this is not true
... someone could say the same thing about african americans, and that would be racist and untrue, just as when you say it about asians it is a racist generalization and untrue. I bet you are just a troll, but if you arent you should look in the mirror and consider yourself.
@@whhe11 People do say the same thing about African Americans and guess what the Asians that want so much sympathy were very much part of those people saying and going along with that crap do you remember all the black women getting beat up by Asians while shopping in there shops or getting there nails done or did that somehow slip your mind
NOT JUST ASIANS, DO NOT FORGET GERMANY AFTER ITS DEFEAT, DO THE WORDS "KUMM FRAU RING A BELL " !!! ????

Well, China is going to surpass the US pretty early. (Caused by US greed) It remains to be seen wether the US Empire will take that without counteraction. If the US does not like China's actions, it should definitely have considered this earlier.
Yeah idk what the plan is of anti chinese ideolouges. Like we can't go to war with China, or even proxy war we lost vietnam and took massive casualties in korea which both were essentially proxy wars with China, plus they're nuclear armed and not stupid, it's been 50+ years for them to prepare for a war with the US that the US has very clearly been interested in for the last century. How can we go to war or have any conflict, even trade wars with a nation who supplies all our shit and is inseparably linked economically with all our major corporations, like what is the plan besides having a scapegoat to win elections, well decreasing quality of life domestically.
@@whhe11 I trust the Pentagon has seen intricate discussions about these points. That is probably why the Pentagon does not seem to be keen on a conflict with Iran, a nation delighted to spread their influence after the US removed their worst enemy. Such a conflict would require up to 2 mill troops, last 50 years and hand China free reign in its region.
Maybe those Asians should reconsider the way they treat blacks in China and Japan
Don’t use anti-blackness to justify anti-Asian violence.
@@kgwal4760 Good point! Two wrongs don't make a right.
Violence towards any group and racial supremacy ideology of any type are not acceptable. One Love, One Heart.
@sofocies confucius You make a valid point. China is mistreating Blacks in Africa. But Asians should also rethink how they treat Blacks shopping in their stores.
@@kgwal4760 That’s exactly what am doing. You can’t complain about how whites are treating you and ignore how your race are treating black people!!
Please! People don't hate Asians. I living in Silicon Valley many of my co-worker's and friends are Asians. I've never seen a single incident. Maybe it happens somewhere, but it's hardly widespread and applies to so few people that it's ridiculous. If this was anti-asian violence, why did he just not drive down to Chinatown on the main drag in Atlanta, Peachtree? Instead he drives all over Atlanta to find "massage parlors." Curious. Think people, think about the likely reason he went there. The media is not known for their intelligence or attention to detail. That doesn't sell headlines. If I was to guess, none of these victims really want their stories told.
Username checks out. Idk how you think you're gonna convince people anti asian hate doesn't exist well demonizing china and pushing the agenda of sanctions and nuclear war directed at the asian population. People like you claim to hate the CCP but not asian people and yet all policy proposal's fueled by your ideology don't hurt the CCP they hurt chinese citizens... Curious, I guess you're thinking makes no sense, unless... You don't care that Asian lives will be lost, which would suggest that you are in fact racist against asians.
@@whhe11 Just so you understand the CCP is a police state government, it is not a 'race.' To the extent *you* want to categorize people by race, the people living in China (Han or otherwise) are the biggest victims of all. The policy proposals were designed to break the power CCP ... unless you think genocide of their Uyghur people's, forced sterilization, forced organ harvesting, concentration camps, arbitrary rule of 'laws', imprisonment of doctors and journalists, no free expression, no right to gather, or even travel to the next town is a good thing ... your call on that one. As for me, I consider that to be the worst crime perpetrated on Asians anywhere on the planet. But, that's just me. Considering the fact that my best friend was born and raised in Shanghai, and hates the CCP with a passion that makes me seem like a sympathizer, I'm pretty much inclined to say that, no I'm not racist against Asians. Again, your call. Perhaps I have more of them in my life and so may have a better view of it. BTW, how many years have you lived in Asia for? Any? I have. My experience with Asians has been almost entirely positive (excepting some rat souvlaki in Guangzhou which was pretty nasty.)
Since you seem to be like many Americans ... don't make the mistake of believing China the Chinese people and the CCP are the same thing. Unless you belive Nazi's and the Germans are the same thing ... every item you buy from China helps the CCP grind the faces of the Chinese people further into the mud. Think about who may hate Asians, it might be you.
@@whhe11 by the way, what are you on about nuclear war about? Are you okay.
@@zo7096 let's try again. If the perp wanted to commit a hate crime against one specific group of people, why does he drive all over hell's half acre to do it? I got a better idea. If you want to kill Asians go to a place where lots of Asians are. Especially when its close? Why drive all over town to several locations to do it? He hit those places because they were "massage parlors." Think it through for God's sake. You know he has a sex addiction problem. He went to those businesses for a very specific reason. Because he hated Asians is not that reason ... quite the contrary I suspect. Do you do any of your own thinking, or do you just let these "journalists" tell you what to think? Don't sell yourself short. It is very likely you are smarter than they are, I know I am. Put the pieces together, this POS murdered those women because of _what_ the were, not _who_ they were. Perhaps it is you who suffers from linear thinking. You can bet the cops have figured it out. Wouldn't you love to see his computer search history? Or his phone? The fact that he drove across town to the second location ... to another 'massage parlor' should have immediately set off the alarm bells. Think for yourself. Journalists are not smart people.
I can't recall any author I've seen interviewed w/ their own books displayed like that. Vanity? I doubt Stephen King has A SINGLE BOOK of his haha, in the background when he goes on a podcast.

Kinda hard to care, just sayin👌
