Anti-China Scapegoating: A New Red Scare for a New Cold War

Every few weeks, we see a new sensationalist corporate media headline about “Chinese espionage,” or “Chinese agents” infiltrating the U.S. and sharing information with the Chinese government. This week, Amanda and KJ are joined by retired judge and co-founder of Pivot to Peace Julie Tang to discuss these new Red Scare witch hunts, the tools the U.S. government uses to conduct these persecution campaigns such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the China Initiative — and how these programs ramp up anti-Asian hate against regular Asian Americans in the U.S. Our understanding of China — and relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about. #BreakThroughNews
