Chinese-American group accuses COVID of calling COVID “China virus” Court news

The group said the former president’s statements had led to an increase in acts of violence against Asian Americans.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been accused by a Chinese civil rights group of using the terms “Chinese virus,” “Wuhan virus,” and “Kung flu virus” in the coronavirus pandemic.

According to court documents (PDF) posted online, a civil rights coalition of Chinese-American nonprofit organizations based in New York filed a lawsuit against Trump on Thursday.

According to the lawsuit, Trump’s statements in speeches and pandemic messages on social media caused Chinese and Asian Americans to experience “emotional distress” and increased racially motivated violence against these communities across the country.

“The extreme and horrific behavior of the accused, members of the plaintiffs’ organization and largely Asian Americans, has caused emotional distress and caused an unmistakable trend of racial violence against Chinese and Asian Americans from New York to California.”

The highest incidence of violence against Asian Americans occurred on March 17th when a gunman shot eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in three attacks on massage parlors in Atlanta and the surrounding area.

New York on March 29th, A 65-year-old Filipino woman was attacked while walking to church. The assailant kicked him in the stomach, threw him to the ground and trampled him.

In a statement to the address Hill the newspaper, Jason Miller, Trump’s chief adviser, said: “It’s a crazy, stupid lawsuit, which is the best, and it will be rejected if it sees a final court.”

“It’s a very joke, and if I were the lawyer who brought it up I would be worried about being punished.”

According to Pew Research poll published in April, 81 percent of Asian American adults said violence against them is on the rise. About 20% of respondents cited Trump’s rhetoric about China as one of the reasons for the rise in violence against Asian Americans.
