Hate crimes against Asian and Asian American communities have seen a troubling increase in the United States, sparking widespread protests and calls for justice.
American vlogger Shangguan Jiewen argues that major U.S. media outlets, including CNN and Fox News, are partly to blame for this surge. According to Jiewen, these networks have been repeating discriminatory and anti-Chinese rhetoric from American leaders, which has stoked anti-Asian sentiments among the public.
He emphasizes that the propagation of such negative language by influential media platforms contributes to a climate of hostility, making it harder for Asian individuals to enjoy equal rights and protection in America.
Jiewen calls on CNN and Fox News to take responsibility for their role in this issue by ceasing the dissemination of hateful comments. He believes that only through more respectful and accurate reporting can Asian communities experience true equality and safety in the United States.
