China Coronavirus Petition--Fight the Disease, Not People! No to the Racist Attacks on China and Chinese Americans!
China Coronavirus Petition
Fight the Disease, Not People! No to the Racist Attacks on China and Chinese Americans!
2/20/2020
The recent novel (new) coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in Wuhan, China is an international health crisis, infecting tens of thousands of people. Two thousand have died from the disease, as of February 20, 2020.
China's rapid response and mass medical mobilization has helped reduce the impact of this new disease. International health communities, as well as top scientists, have praised China’s efforts across the globe.
This 2019-cCoV virus started in China. The 2009 Swine Flu (H1N1 influenza virus) started in the U.S., then spread across the world. It killed 284,500 people (CDC estimate). A new virus can happen anywhere around the world. People of the world should unite against the virus.
We are deeply alarmed and angered by some U.S. government officials, right-wing politicians and media using the coronavirus for China bashing and spreading false rumors. The insults include: “China Virus”, “Real Sick Man of Asia”, falsely spreading China bioweapon conspiracy rumors and that Chinese are spreading the disease around the world. The new “red scare” has spread across the country, with racist anti-China and anti-Chinese-American attacks.
We, as community activists, condemn the racism against China and Chinese Americans. It is no different than the continuation of U.S.’s China-bashing and racists labeling of Chinese American culture as “Chinese high-tech spies” following the China-US Trade War.
We Demand:
1) Stop labeling coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as “China Virus”; Fight the Disease, Not People!
2) No to the U.S. politicians and media’s coronavirus Sinophobia, No to the Racist Attacks on China and Chinese Americans!
3) More U.S. media unbiased coverage on the situation in China.
4) Not just only talk, the U.S. government should educate the community, and offer free medical supports to prevent the possible spread the disease; especially vaccine for the poor community to help prevent the common flu that killed far more people every year in the U.S.

I have been hearing from so many of you about the fear and the difficult encounters you are facing right now. This response has grown into something far beyond what I imagined when I first hit publish. Please know that your experiences are fueling the letters I am sending out to help keep our communities safe.

Seeing the count climb this high feels surreal and I am moved by the kindness shown by so many of you. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who refuse to let fear turn into cruelty. I truly never imagined this would reach so many hearts.

This is a Global virus regardless of its origins it’s not only racist, but dangerous to dismiss i it as such.
Trump's blaming contributes to some people physically attacking Asian people at random.
calling this disease the china virus is racist and disgusting. no one called the black plague the white virus.
United States could learn a thing or two from China's response to the coronavirus. China deserves our solidarity.
We've got enough to deal with in the disease itself. Let's not stress each other, please. Better to work together on solutions.
3/30/2020 Modified New Vision Petition Fight the Disease, Not People! No to the Racist Attacks on China and Chinese Americans! The current novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak is an international health crisis, from Wuhan, China to around the World with hundred of thousands infected, and tens of thousands killed, Italy, Spain and U.S. has become epic center of the pandemic. China's rapid response and mass medical mobilization early this year has helped reduce the impact of this new disease. International health communities, as well as top scientists, have praised China’s efforts across the globe. This COVID-19 virus started in China. The 2009 Swine Flu (H1N1 influenza virus) started in the U.S., then spread across the world. It killed 284,500 people (CDC estimate). A new virus can happen anywhere around the world.

The insults include: “China Virus”, “Real Sick Man of Asia”, falsely spreading China bioweapon conspiracy rumors and that Chinese are spreading the disease around the world. The new “red scare” has spread across the country, with racist anti-China and anti-Chinese-American attacks. This anti-Chinese rhetoric is also leading to a rise in hate crimes against other Asian and Asian American people. We, as community activists, condemn the racism against China and Chinese Americans. We condemn the violence and discrimination broadly impacting Asian and Asian American people at this time. It is no different than the continuation of U.S.’s China-bashing and racists labeling of Chinese American culture as “Chinese high-tech spies” following the China-US Trade War. We Demand: 1) Stop labeling coronavirus (COVID-19) as “China Virus”; Fight the Disease, Not People! 2) No to the U.S. politicians and media’s coronavirus Sinoph
The most important point in this petition should be the condemnation of the Chinese Government (CCP) for the handling of the coronavirus epidemic.

Racism and Xenophobia NEVER help. It is just a tool by evil opportunists to exploit fear. Random acts of kindness WOULD help
