There is no lack of clarity on this: Han Dong was targeted because he is originally from mainland China. #Sinophobia is deeply embedded in the media and among political leaders. It is a form of modern Chinese exclusion. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0... via @hilltimes.com

Community leaders came out in force for yesterday’s unveiling of a magnificent sculpture in the heart of Ottawa’s Chinatown to commemorate Chinese railway workers. It was unbearably hot, but nothing compared to what the workers had to endure. 加拿大铁路华工纪念碑

This outrageous action by Bell High School is not only a blatant example of #islamophobia but also a slap in the face of students who are globally aware and civic minded, especially your valedictorian Elizabeth Yao. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This story reeks of #Sinophobia. The central thesis is that any group with “ties to China” should be suspect. Has sectarianism in Tibetan Buddhism become a test of foreign interference? So what if some nuns support reunification of Taiwan & the mainland? www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

It defies logic (and humanity) that western governments would ease pressure on Israel re. Gaza because someone wanted by the ICC started a war that could engulf the Middle East. @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
