Talking with the great Mark Steyn on @foxnews last week about China’s efforts to hijack the #StopAsianHate hashtag. If we want to talk about hate, let’s not the genocide of Uighur Muslims going on in China. #StopUighurHate pic.twitter.com/uiRBzvXEWG

Anti-Asian Violence and Holding China Accountable for the Pandemic
Fox News, March 19, 2021
All racist attacks are heinous, no matter the race of the perpetrator or target. Asian Americans have experienced everything from horrific hate crimes to verbal assaults during the pandemic. None of it is okay. It is, however, important to discern truth from fiction. For one, despite the prevailing media narrative, some of the most horrific attacks have occurred in heavily Democratic areas where the perpetrators are not white supremacists or Trump supporters. Additionally, holding China accountable for COVID-19 is not a hate crime or a racist act. Americans need to separate Asian Americans from China’s culpability, but no one should ever forget that China is culpable.
Ying Ma appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News to discuss these issues. To watch the interview, please click HERE.

Democratic Duplicity on Anti-Asian Violence
Fox News, March 12, 2021
Ying Ma returned to Tucker Carlson Tonight to discuss the recent wave of horrific black-on-Asian attacks committed in cities like New York, San Francisco, Oakland, and Philadelphia. While Democratic politicians, including President Biden, have blamed the violence on former President Trump’s COVID rhetoric, Ms. Ma pointed out that for decades, leftwing politicians and activists have cowered before such attacks and refused to label them as hate crimes or acts of racism.
Since the pandemic, however, the Left has been eagerly labeling these attacks as hate crimes–without acknowledging the race of the attackers–in order to attribute racism to President Trump and his supporters.
Ms. Ma encouraged everyone to be honest even when discussing a painful reality. Please click HERE or below to view the interview. A summary and video of the full segment are also available on the Daily Caller.

Anti-Asian Violence and China’s COVID Culpability
“China vs. USA”, March 10, 2021
My podcast series, “China vs. USA,” aired its latest episode, entitled “Condemning Anti-Asian Violence and Holding China Responsible for COVID.”
The discussion emphasized that it is absurd to argue, as leftwing politicians and activists do, that former President Trump is responsible for recent hate crimes committed by young black men against Asian Americans in urban areas.
This episode featured Betty Chu, former mayor of Monterey Park, former candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from California’s 32nd congressional district, former honorary co-chair of the No on Prop 16 campaign, and the first Chinese-American woman to co-found and run a bank; and Jeremy Carl, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and former deputy assistant secretary of the Interior.
Chu and Carl both noted that Americans must hold China accountable for the pandemic and that contrary to assertions from leftwing Asian leaders, this effort is not racist.
Chu also discussed the No on Prop 16 campaign, which defeated an attempt to reinstate racial preferences in California by a 14-point margin in November 2020.
Chu said, “And it was particularly, Ying…your help and the strategy of Arnold Steinberg and the leadership of Ward Connerly and particularly when you disseminated information of Prop 16 and what its effects would be, which was a racial bias measure–you spread that word outside of our community and that was when I began to have hope that we were really on the road to winning….So I want to thank you for that.”
A big THANK YOU to Betty for her tireless leadership and guidance, as well as for her kind words about my contributions to the defense of equal opportunity. As always, heartfelt thanks go to my colleagues and our volunteers and supporters for making the victory possible.

Mainstream media blame Trump for anti-Asian violence spike
Fox News, March 2, 2021
Ying Ma appeared on The Ingraham Angle on Fox News to discuss the recent spike in black-on-Asian violence in the San Francisco Bay Area and other urban centers. She condemned the hypocrisy and cowardice of activists and political leaders on the Left who had refused to acknowledge the possibility of racism in similarly horrific attacks in the past but who are now eagerly decrying the recent attacks as racist acts inspired by former President Donald Trump’s coronavirus rhetoric.

California vs. ‘wokeness’
Fox News, February 23, 2021
The early days of the Biden administration have presented “racial justice” and “racial equity” as the new buzzwords for the entire executive branch.
These are the marching orders governing everything from immigration policy to Cabinet nominations to affirmative action in higher education. Worshipping at the altar of wokeness and identity politics will be required for the next four years.
But those who believe in equality for all rather than special treatment for some should not despair: Just last November, a wildly successful campaign in California beat back the “equity” onslaught in a most unlikely landslide victory.

Californians stood up for equality, rejected discriminatory Prop 16
Orange County Register, November 8, 2020
Californians rejected Proposition 16 on Election Day by a margin of 56 to 44 percent. The measure would have restored racial preferences in California’s public hiring, contracting and university admissions.
Its rejection was a victory for equality under the law. For me, it was a personal victory as well.
