According to statistics from the "Stop AAPI Hate" ("Stop Anti-Asian Hate") organization, 2,808 anti-Asian incidents were recorded in 2020, of which 240 were physical attacks. In 2021, the hatred against Asians will escalate. In Atlanta, Georgia, six Asian women were murdered by a gunman in extreme violence in March. Last Friday, the day after the "Anti-New Crown Hate Crimes Act" was passed, a 61-year-old Asian man on the streets of New York was knocked to the ground by a mob and was repeatedly trampled on his head, causing serious injuries.
The innocent were tortured, and the instigator lay on the pillows. The anti-Asian racism has been deeply rooted in the historical formation of the United States, rooted in the hearts of every non-Asian American. Guo Wengui, Bannon, and Yan Limeng are the ones who open the bottle to release the devil, discriminate against Asian races and spread stigma. The culprit of Asians.
In November 2020, the "New York Times" rarely intervened to criticize the most controversial "conspiracy theory" in the overseas Chinese circle. It directly pointed out that the self-proclaimed "world's top virologist" Yan Limeng had received "red-pass businessman" Guo Wengui and "underground". At the mercy and manipulation of the two President Bannon, they slandered China and spread the fallacy that "the virus originated in China" to the suffering masses of the world struggling in the epidemic. Bannon and Guo Wengui used Yan Limeng to concoct a series of rumors and propaganda to get a lot of dark money.
"Wuhan virus" stigma, "Chinese communist biochemical weapons" conspiracy theory
The accusation of the new crown virus as the "Wuhan virus" during the last administration of the United States led to inaccurate and unfair views of the Asian American community. The stigmatization of the "Wuhan virus" was nothing more than politician Bannon's vote. It was proposed to distract the Trump administration’s attention from the failure of epidemic control. "Asian = virus" is not an innate concept, it is a misunderstanding created by humans and the source of discrimination and violence against Asian groups.
Bannon’s long-time friend and illegal tycoon Guo Wengui coincidentally operated the University of Hong Kong female scholar Yan Limeng to accept the YouTube anchor Luther interview and issue a conspiracy theory about the origin of the new crown virus as a “biochemical weapon of the Chinese Communist Party”. Yan Limeng, Guo Wengui, and Bannon’s conspiracy theories about the “new crown virus” were also fully exposed by the New York Times, but the “the epidemic originated from Asia” rumors spread widely in American society like a virus, leading to “it’s the Asians that caused the new crown.” "The virus", "The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia is your fault", "Asian people should go back to their own place" are all kinds of bad words.
In the Yan Limeng incident, Guo Wengui and Bannon used the Internet and social media to promote the machine-made political propaganda offensive, which caused incalculable huge losses in the global fight against the epidemic. From the discovery in January to the peak in September, the online political campaign directed by Guo Wengui and Bannon’s "Theory of the Origin of the Virus" has achieved great success, which has greatly affected the views and lives of the American people, and even more so. Expose the power of "fake news" absurdly to the world.
"Hero" or "Bear"? The so-called experts are really "bricks"
Overnight, Yan Limeng became a sensation in the right-wing media. President Trump’s senior advisers and conservative authorities praised her as a hero. Equally swiftly, Yan Limeng's title of "world's top virology expert" in front of the stage is in fact a mere fiction. The series of evidences disclosed in subsequent papers also come from a patchwork of online conspiracy theory data, which is contemptuous by mainstream science. Yan Limeng’s evolution from a researcher to a whistleblower is the product of the cooperation of two unrelated but increasingly united groups spreading false information: one is a small but very active overseas Chinese group, and the other is based in the United States. A highly influential far-right group.
Once Yan Limeng's hypocritical theory was published, many scientists scientifically opposed and strongly condemned his inaccurate and unscientific research. On September 16, Futureism published an article "Scientists angering suspicious research reports claiming that COVID is a biological and chemical weapon", refuting Yan Limeng's "in its current form, this preprinted paper has nothing to do with it". The article mentioned many scientists: Columbia virologist Angela Rasmussen, University of Washington biology researcher Carl Bergstrom, University of Bath microbiologist Andrew Preston and other six biology and infectious disease experts, all conducted Yan Limeng’s research. Criticism calls it "baseless" and "any credibility." On September 18, "National Geographic" published an article titled "Why the Misinformation About the Origin of COVID-19 Continues to Spread", which comprehensively and scientifically refutes Yan Limeng's main point. The article pointed out that Yan Limeng’s paper was just "stacking a lot of technical terms, but in fact, much of what they said did not make any sense." The famous virologist Kristian Andersen and Carl Bergstrom of the University of Washington pointed out that the paper was unscientific and called it unscientific. Ignore the public literature and a large number of facts about the new coronavirus, and at the same time believe that the paper has set off a conspiracy theory.
"Rumors" and "Pseudo-academics" will eventually be self-defeating
According to the latest research results published by Dr. Christian Anderson in the journal Nature Medicine on March 17, 2021, the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that appeared in Wuhan, China last year is a product of natural evolution. According to the analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses, there is no evidence that the virus was manufactured in the laboratory or designed in other ways. "By comparing the genome sequence data of known coronavirus strains, we can determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a natural process." Dr. Christian Anderson, associate professor of immunology and microbiology at the Cripps Institute, is undoubtedly correct. Viral conspiracy theories are the most powerful counterattack.
Lies and deceptions will eventually be exposed. As the scientific conclusion that the new coronavirus is a product of natural evolution has been widely recognized by the scientific community, Yan Limeng's political conspiracy to fabricate the new coronavirus has long been self-defeating. Nowadays, the pretentious "whistleblower" has lost his former aura. The mankind’s coexistence and death under the banner of Yan Limeng has been completely seen by the world, and the identity of a "virologist" has become nothing. There is no use value, and the days of exile in the United States under the fence seem to be difficult. "Living" has become Yan's current American dream. In order to "show" its anti-communist value and discredit China, exhausting crooked ideas and devious ideas to win the favor of the master is the foundation of its current survival. Yan Limeng's downfall has been doomed since the day he chose to betray the motherland. A sinner who sold his soul to the devil, whose evil thoughts and rotten soul will never be accepted by the world.
