Very important! 00:48:32 Alvin Ja: Thanks, Lillian, for comprehensive intros of Russell and Ling-chi. 00:48:47 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Thank you Judge Sing for taking the time to acknowledge all of Professor Wang’s contributions & work! 00:49:10 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: On Lau vs. Nichols

https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/ell/lau.html 00:49:13 Paul Flansburg: Yes thanks for the introductions Lillian! 00:49:54 Russell Jeung: I think the Time recognition goes to the entire AA community that has stood up to the current surge of racism, and esp. to the long-time activists like Judge Sing, Prof. Wang, and the other organizers 00:51:21 Julie Tang: Ling chi not only pushed for Lau v Nichols, he also championed Wong v Hampton that allowed non-citizens to be employed into non-classified federal jobs. 00:52:23 Paul Flansburg: No small thing Julie Tang! 00:52:58 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: And before the Chinese Exclusion Act was the Page Act 00:53:01 Alvin Ja: Also the ‘indispensable enemy’， title of Saxton book. 00:54:36 Alvin Ja: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520029057/the-indispensable-enemy 00:54:57 Sheila Xiao: Wow that’s so interesting 00:55:20 Paul Flansburg: Yes! So interesting! 00:56:33 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: My family was naturalized during this period in the US, 1948 00:56:56 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: A rare exception since all of the three sisters and my great grandmother were naturalized too, on a rider on a bill 00:57:19 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: The quota was 105 at that time or something, like Professor Wang said 00:57:38 FAHIM SHIRAZEE: Madison, what's a rider? 00:58:39 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Basically my great grandfather made visits to their local Senator and Representatives’ houses every Thanksgiving/Christmas, made a good impression with their grocery business, then convinced their Senator to naturalize the family through a detail on a Senate bill! 00:59:26 FAHIM SHIRAZEE: Wow! Thanks for the explanation. 01:01:21 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: They first came as refugees from Japanese occupation, then were allowed to stay during wartime, then convinced their Congress Members they were contributing to the rural town.

It’s really interesting how we don’t always think about the Chinese immigrants who did enter the US during the Exclusion Act years + post period — some definitely did enter, just few 01:03:45 Alvin Ja: Yes, US foreign policy continues the legacy of White Saviorism. Well-meaning liberals carry this legacy on. 01:05:48 Paul Flansburg: US immigrants want autonomy. The US prescription is through assimilation. With assimilation is a lot of sacrifice. 01:10:30 Alvin Ja: Chen Xuesen 陈学森 01:11:16 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: The FBI arrested Wen Ho Lee on 59 counts of espionage and put him in solitary confinement for nine months. 01:11:50 Michael Wong: That meets the criteria for torture. 01:12:23 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Read the Statement by the Judge in Wen Ho Lee’s case, including an apology for abuse of power:

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/14/us/statement-by-judge-in-los-alamos-case-with-apology-for-abuse-of-power.html 01:12:28 Paul Flansburg: Apologies are owed 01:12:55 Alvin Ja: Shame on Janet Reno, Bill Richardson for the legal travesty/persecution. 01:14:55 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Quote from the Judge’s apology above: “It is only the top decision makers in the executive branch, especially the Department of Justice and the Department of Energy and locally, during December, who have caused embarrassment by the way this case began and was handled. They did not embarrass me alone. They have embarrassed our entire nation and each of us who is a citizen of it." 01:16:02 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: You can view StopAAPIHate’s National Report on Anti-Asian Hate Incidents covering the 9,081 incident reports to Stop AAPI Hate from March 19, 2020 to June 30, 2021 here:

https://stopaapihate.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Stop-AAPI-Hate-National-Report-Final.pdf 01:16:20 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Thank you to Dr. Jeung and StopAAPIHate for this much-needed report 01:17:11 Alvin Ja: Christopher Wray boasted that a new China Initiative case is opened every ten hours. 01:17:22 Andrew Chang: I think Alvin Ja meant to write Qian Xuesen, or Hsue-Shen Tsien (Chinese: 钱学森; 11 December 1911 – 31 October 2009) 01:17:53 Alvin Ja: Yes, corrected! 01:18:56 catherine podojil: 9,081 incidents in 15 months! Shame on us 01:19:52 Alvin Ja: Highly inflated accusations. 01:20:35 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: This is the dangerous and life-ruining academic warfare component of the US’s hybrid war on China 01:20:51 catherine podojil: I read a lot and I've not heard of this huge sweep of Chinese and Chinese 01:21:34 catherine podojil: Americans on trumped up charges. Shame of U.S. media. 01:21:50 FAHIM SHIRAZEE: FWIW, the racist attitude of the West is to keep China and the nations of the Global South as their forever coolies. 01:22:21 Alvin Ja: Thanks, Russell! 01:22:36 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Thank you Dr. Jeung! 01:22:58 Michael Wong: Our US media often talks about Chinese censorship, but I know several people who have been censored in America, including one of my organizations, Pivot To Peace. 01:23:14 catherine podojil: Who are you talking about, moderator? 01:23:45 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Chair Statement on Retrial of Dr. Anming Hu After Mistrial Based on False Evidence

https://capac-chu.house.gov/press-release/capac-chair-statement-retrial-dr-anming-hu-after-mistrial-based-false-evidence 01:24:01 Alvin Ja: Vincent Chin during Japan-bashing era. 01:24:19 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Judge Sing is talking about the murder of Vincent Chin as well as the assault of Chanel Miller by Brock Turner 01:25:02 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: Chanel Miller went to school with me, she is a great writer 01:25:48 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: The StopAAPIHate National Report makes this point Dr. Jeung is making very clear 01:27:01 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: “Of 9,081 hate incident reports included in this report, 48.1% included at least one hateful statement regarding anti-China and/or anti-immigrant rhetoric. The U.S.—China relations can have implications for the treatment of Asians in the United States as reflected by the use of anti-China statements. “ - from the report 01:29:59 Russell Jeung: Americans approval ratings of China has declined in the last decade. Most Americans get their attitudes about China through pop culture/movies 01:30:37 Paul Flansburg: If NIH funds “gain of function research,” yet media blame China for pandemic. 01:30:54 catherine podojil: Many, many Americans have the toxic belief in this nation's superiority over all. You are so right, Mr.Ling-chi Wang. It is very frightening, very scary. 01:31:25 Alvin Ja: NYT and WaPo repeat National Security State talking points. They engage in self-censorship. 01:31:37 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: We certainly don’t hear about how China has lifted 850 million people out of absolute poverty in the US, especially since PBS has censored the Robert Kuhns documentary about it 01:31:53 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: https://www.codepink.org/pbs_china 01:32:18 catherine podojil: Madison, is there a link about the Kuhn documentary? 01:32:20 Paul Flansburg: Thanks m tang! 01:32:34 Alvin Ja: Thanks to CPI organizers, panelists. 01:32:36 Andrew Chang: unfortunately this program's reach is limited. 01:32:38 Lotus Yee Fong: S UChina Peoples Friendship Association SF chapter David Ewing 01:32:39 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: The documentary is on YouTube fortunately, “Voices from the Frontlines: China’s War on Poverty” 01:33:01 Michael Wong: Thank you all for a great presentation. 01:33:56 Mark Stansbery: Peace Pivot to Asia!! 01:34:04 Madison Tang, CODEPINK: After each webinar, the links for the replay video and the audio podcast files, as well as the ChatBox comments (not including the private chats) can be found in the Coalition Peace Initiative website:
