The wave of anti-Asian hate that surged with the pandemic may only get worse, Min worries, as both political parties have amplified fears about China and the threat it poses to US economic and national security.“You can’t avoid paying attention to the rhetoric, because it has a direct impact on our lives,” Min said.That rhetoric surged again this week as a hostile House committee grilled TikTok CEO Shou Ch...
