The chairwoman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American caucus on
Saturday said it is "dangerous" for President Donald Trump to continue
referring to Covid-19 as the "Chinese virus" at a time when
misinformation has led to racist and xenophobic attacks against Asian
Americans or anyone in the US who looks East Asian.
"It is dangerous for him to continue calling it the Chinese coronavirus," Rep. Judy Chu, a California Democrat and the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress, told CNN's Victor Blackwell on Saturday. "He is creating more xenophobia every single time he does that. And we can see the results in what's happening to Asian Americans across this country."
