Yuh-Line Niou, a self-proclaimed "progressive" Asian American politician running for Congress, was recently rumored for being involved in money-laundering related to the Panama papers. If you really wanna dig up her actual involvement in theft, corruption, and money laundering that's backed up by concrete evidence, look no further than her own district, Manhattan Chinatown...
Chinatown workers called Niou out as a defender of sweatshop bosses who stole $1 million of wages and big developers who destroyed Chinatown economy for their own interest. On July 24, in a protest against a group of wage-stealing bosses in Chinatown known as the "Gang of Four", workers condemned Yuh-Line for colluding and promoting these bosses despite knowing their law-breaking acts. Amidst the public outcry against anti-Asian violence, Yuh-Line nonetheless uses her Asian face to help maintain sweatshop bosses' exploitation of Chinese workers. Is this racism? If so, how do we fight it?
