I am glad that the letter to Biden has jumped out in front of the impending US intelligence apparatus’ Lab Leak report. I am encouraged that API leadership is addressing the connection between the demonization of China and domestic anti-Asian Hate.

The letter rightfully confronts the issues of the Lab Leak narrative and DOJ/FBI/Christopher Wray China Initiative. Thank you for that!

The letter to Biden says: “And we need you to forcefully and repeatedly condemn anti-China and anti-AAPI rhetoric each and every time this topic comes up…”

The objective reality is that Biden’s neo-con foreign policy team of Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Kurt Campbell, Avril Haynes, Victoria Nuland is the SOURCE of “anti-China rhetoric”.

At some point AA leadership will have to address the uncomfortable reality that Biden and Dems have intensified the baseless China-bashing narrative. It was easy and politically-correct to blame Trump, but it may be difficult and unpalatable to objectively assign responsibility by those who are invested in Biden, Pelosi and the Dems.

The Biden letter constitutes progress in AAPI discourse in that it addresses collateral damage from the Lab Leak narrative.

The McCarthy Red Scare hysteria of the Fifties saw the persecution of Chinese-Americans. Given this historical precedent, the current New Red Scare needs to be challenged by API leadership.

Thank you for the progress in API leadership discourse. I hope for continued progress. I hope for even more courage from API leaders to acknowledge and challenge the McCarthyite New Red Scare hysteria.

Please speak out loudly against the China-bashing hysteria!
