They claimed the Initiative \u201csubjects Asian American and Asian immigrant scientists and others \u2013 particularly those of Chinese descent \u2013 to racial profiling, surveillance and wrongful prosecutions, where no evidence of economic espionage or trade secret theft exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndividuals and their families who have been unjustly targeted have experienced irreparable personal and professional harm,\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n<p>The National Pulse reporter Natalie Winters posted the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/521386985\/Joint-NCAPA-Stop-AAPI-Hate-Letter-to-President-Biden-FINAL#download\">six-page letter<\/a> dated August 19, 2021, online. <a href=\"https:\/\/thenationalpulse.com\/breaking\/stop-aapi-hate-demands-biden-terminate-anti-ccp-program\/\">According<\/a> to Winters, \u201cChinese state-run media outlets have given the letter favorable coverage by amplifying its demands to halt the DOJ\u2019s China Initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stop AAPI Hate has been described as a nonprofit that started aggregating hate incidents against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders after a virus that originated in China began to spread worldwide. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/group-trying-to-convince-asians-that-america-is-oppressive-has-ties-to-chinese-state-media\">a Daily Wire investigation<\/a> published in April found that at least two journalists who worked for Chinese state-controlled media came to the United States as visiting students and became organizers for a progressive activist group behind the coalition. They ran outreach efforts to shape the political opinions of first-generation Chinese-American immigrants in California.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders from Stop AAPI Hate and allied groups praised Biden in the letter, writing, \u201cYour election, thankfully, ended the barrage of racist, anti-AAPI hate speech from the Oval Office.\u201d However, they went on to say reports of hate incidents compiled in 2021 show an increase from last year.<\/p>\n<p>Their letter to Biden expressed concern about an upcoming report into the origins of COVID-19, saying its findings could incite more hate crimes and violence targeting the AAPI people:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"25\">\n<p><em>The sad but undeniable truth is that the simple existence of that report will put our communities at risk. We recognize your Administration\u2019s legitimate interest in identifying the source of this pandemic for the purpose of preventing future outbreaks. At the same time, perception matters. And when your review was announced, many interpreted it as a validation of the so-called \u201clab leak\u201d theory.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As you well know, while most scientists agree that transmission via natural origins is a more likely explanation, the hypothesis that COVID originated from Chinese laboratory experiments has sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories that have been weaponized by politicians and pundits resulting in a false scapegoating of Asian Americans as somehow to blame for the pandemic.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The chief purveyors of these conspiracy theories are not interested in getting to the bottom of whether an accidental outbreak could have occurred in a laboratory setting. Instead, they aim to deflect criticism about the early U.S. response to the pandemic and direct blame at China and, by extension, Asian Americans. They are frequently the same people who use racist monikers for the virus and demonize immigrants.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Read the full letter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/521386985\/Joint-NCAPA-Stop-AAPI-Hate-Letter-to-President-Biden-FINAL#download\">here<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View Joint NCAPA Stop AAPI Hate Letter to President Biden FINAL on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/521386985\/Joint-NCAPA-Stop-AAPI-Hate-Letter-to-President-Biden-FINAL#from_embed\">Joint NCAPA Stop AAPI Hate \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Natalie Winters&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/285024817\/Natalie-Winters#from_embed\">Natalie Winters<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/group-trying-to-convince-asians-that-america-is-oppressive-has-ties-to-chinese-state-media\">Group Trying To Convince Asians That America Is Oppressive Has Ties To Chinese State Media<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/narrative-that-asians-are-victims-of-white-supremacy-comes-from-activists-pushing-policies-rejected-by-many-asians\">\u2018Asians Are Victims Of White Supremacy\u2019 Narrative Comes From Activists Pushing Policies Rejected By Many Asians<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
