美国新冠疫情日记4/23/2020 主流与非主流

主流与非主流

因為新冠疫情之肆虐，全球各地掀起了激烈的口水战，许多政客也藉此激发国民之民粹意识，让世界全人类进入物质及精神文明最大挑战。

川普总统上任以来，正在美墨边境筑建一座四百五十英里的高墙，同时宣布美国将全面停止所有移民案件，更甚者是美国密苏里州正式向中国大陆提起诉讼，要求武汉肺炎对美国造成之损失。川普更在疫情氾滥之时断绝对世卫组织之资助，造成更多急待奥援的贫穷国家雪上加霜，这是我们号称世界第一超强国家应有的态度吗？

我在接受全国主流媒体休斯敦纪事报四月十七日之专访中提醒大家，包括华裔在内的亚裔美国人，过去百年来之努力，他们的收入和教育水平早已超过全国国民之水凖，对某些反华言论之政客，她们是太天真无知，对亚裔社区可说一无所知。

过去十二年来，我一直出任休斯敦国际区区长，在每月之执行议员会议上，有非裔黑人、有白人、拉丁裔、亚裔等十三位，在会上大家都秉持公正、公平之态度為人民服务，我们从不歧视，因為美国是一个移民国家，我们就是美国的主流。

我们呼吁大家紧握住自己手中之选票，為这个伟大的国家选出一位人民真正爱戴的领䄂。

          We Are The American Mainstream

When the Coronavirus pandemic attacked all the nations of the globe, many politicians took this opportunity to promote populism and nationalism in our society.

After President Trump took over the office of the presidency, he insisted that 450 miles of a protective wall be built next to our border with Mexico. He also announced yesterday that the U.S. government would temporarily suspend all immigration applications. Also yesterday, the state of Missouri tried to take legal action directly against China claiming that the Wuhan virus had caused serious damage to their state and the America economy. Trump also cut off all financial aid to the World Health Organization (WHO). This action will affect thousands of people in many poor countries. Is this how we as a super power should treat the rest of the world?

On April 17, in a Houston Chronicle interview, attempts were made to diminish Asian people and their culture while overlooking their successes and integration into the country, such as having higher levels of income and education than the general U.S. population. Overall, these politicians making statements against immigrants is so stupid and naive.

I have been Chairman of the Houston International District for the last twelve years. Our board members include African-American, Asian, Latino and white individuals.       We have never had any issue on race. After all, we are one nation under God.

We strongly urge all citizens in this election year to use your vote wisely and select a leader who really can lead our country.
