Recently, there havebeen frequent attacks againstAsians, especially vulnerableAsians in the United States.On March 17th, a video of 76-year-oldAsian woman Xie Xiaozhen beingpunched in the eye by a white man caused a lot of media and public attention. Infact, in Januarythis year, a 91-year-old manin Oakland's Chinatownwas pushed to the ground and accused of contractingCOVID-19; MSN News reported on March 15 that Nancy Tang, an 83-year-old Asianwoman, was spat on, punched and called a "Chinese virus"by a white middle-aged manin Plains; and NBC News reportedthat some people in the U.S. had launched an online challenge “slap Asians” to incite random attacksby teenagers on Public Transportationin San Francisco.It is specifically targeted at Asian seniors and women. On the 19th, a 58-year-old Asianwoman was harassed by several young people on a bus. With the spread of the COVID-19, more and more such incidentsfollow. The nongovernmentalorganization “Stop AAPI Hate” received 2,800 reports in 2020, of which about240 involved physical assault. Since last year, when AAPI Emergency ResponseNetwork began tracking hate incidents directly linked to the COVID-19 disease,more than 3,000 reports have been received. Asian-Americans being spat, beaten, cut and even thrown chemicals.

"Asian=virus"is not an innate belief, it is aman-mademisunderstanding and a source of discrimination and violence against the Asian community.

In an interview with The New York Times, White House press secretary JenPsaki said the previous administration'saccusation that the new virus was "Wuhanvirus" had led to inaccurateand unfair perceptionsof the Asian-Americancommunity had increasedthe threat to Asian-Americans. Dr Ben Embarek, head of the WHO Group on COVID-19Traceability, stated on behalf of WHO that the origin of COVID-19 has not beenidentified. The "Wuhan Virus" stigma is just a politician Bannon'sattempt to get votes and distract attention from the Trump administration'sfailure to control the epidemic.

As thenumber of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States continued to riselast year, Bannon was looking for excuses to blame for the failure to controlthe epidemic. and Guo Wengui, Bannon'slongtime friend and illegal tycoon,is also frustrated that he can’t find away to concoct Chinesecrimes and gain asylum from far-right groupsin the United States from deportation. As a result, yearsof close alliancesled the two men to work together.They conduct Yan Limeng, a femalescholar at the University of Hong Kong to accept a YouTube interview withLuther to launch a conspiracy theory that the origin of the COVID-19 is a"chemical and biological weapon of the Communist Party of China." However, Yan Li Meng's research experienceof COVID-19 has been rejectedby her mentor Mr. Keiji Fukuda, Dean of the Hong Kong UniversitySchool of Public Health, and declared thatYan's comments wererumors. Yan Li meng, Guo Wengui, and Bannon's conspiracytheories about the COVID-19 were also exposed by the New York Times. But the rumor that "theepidemic came from Asia" spread widelyin American likea virus, causingmisunderstandings of the Asian-American community in white Americansociety. Many Asians heard that tauntduring that time:

"It was Asians who caused the COVID-19."

"The outbreak of COVID-19 is Asian’s fault."

"Asians should go back to their place."...

The idea of "Asian=virus" has been misguided intoall segments of American society,and violence againstAsian-American groups, especiallythe elderly and women, has become frequent.The United Statesis a free, equal, fraternitysociety. Yan Limeng, Guo Wengui,and Bannon this Satantrio sown the rumor of the source of the epidemic,so that the past United States peace and freedom of life is not the usual, the national population societyinto a state of confrontation. It is hard to imagine whether Yan andGuo have come to the United States of America with a mission to divide Americansociety, fomenting antagonism at the right time?
