Daily News | As anti-Asian bigotry rises across the U.S., Temple professor’s civil rights suit becomes more relevant

The events that have transpired in the United States over the last two years, community members say, have proven what Xiaoxing Xi and his allies have been saying since 2015: that there is a systemic discrimination and targeting of Asian Americans.of being an economic spy for China filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government in 2017, alleging that the FBI targeted him because of his Chinese ethnicity and willfully misinterpreted evidence to fit a false narrative that he stole secrets from a U.S.

“So much has happened since 2015, and I think the pandemic and all of the anti-Asian hate that’s going on has also shined a light on some of this history,” said Helen Zia, a writer and activist. “The targeting and scapegoating of Asian Americans didn’t begin this century. It’s been going on for hundreds of years.

Xi said that he learned three lessons from his experience: When the federal government charges somebody with a crime, it’s not necessarily true; Chinese scientists are treated unfairly; and the federal government is criminalizing academic collaboration with China.

“The targeting and scapegoating of Asian Americans didn’t begin this century, it’s been going on for hundreds of years.”Through the targeting of the federal government, Zia said, Asian American scientists and businesspeople were immediately labeled with espionage — whereas non-Asian Americans would be facing civil matters for the same actions.
