China Coronavirus Petition--Fight the Disease, Not People! No to the Racist Attacks on China and Chinese Americans!

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

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. 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. 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.

I support this petition

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.

Trumps "Chinese Virus" remark was a sad day for America!!

The Coronavirus medicines are manufactured in China as a joint venture with Cuba using Cuban technology. End the embargo against Cuba.

Keep up your great work!! And thank you so much !!

Thanks to China the world’s people get a better understanding of how to fight coved-19. The bare dead bones of capitalism are being exposed everyday—a good thing.

What Trump cannot stand is recognizing his and his government's failures.

calling this disease the china virus is racist and disgusting. no one called the black plague the white virus.

Once again, the U.S. government blames others for their own ignorance and lethargy. Perhaps this is the time to learn from others rather than codemning them. The world cannot be held accountable for a terrible profiteering U.S. health system.

This is asinine. It is in fact the Wuhan virus. Wuhan is in China. Accurate language is useful to all.

Cooperation! Solidarity! Mutual aid! We should thank the people of China for their major efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. Thank you.

Racism is capitalist's way of distracting from real issues.

Chinese authorities and regular Chinese actually did an excellent job in trying to prevent the spread of this virus.

Stop the cold war against China!
