Xenophobic statements about China and Chinese people correlate with incidents of racism against Asian Americans during the pandemic. 27.2% of the 1,800+ incident reports include the words "China" or "Chinese" and content includes virutal animosity, scapegoating of China, anti-immigrant nationalism, "China Virus", and racist depictions. Reports include:

• "Person called me a “yellow n----r” and yelled ”go back to China, bitch!”"
• "While I was trying to pick a bike at the dock station, the bike company employee who was changing the batteries on e-bikes yelled at me and said, "Spray that sh--" (meaning I needed to spray the bike with disinfectant after riding.) This employee went on and said, "The Chinese invented the virus and Donald Trump knows it." I'm Asian and was wearing a mask at the time of the incident."
• "A woman sitting at a bus stop was screaming at myself and other Asians that she saw walking. She said that we were "dirty Chinese", that we were trying to take over the US, and that we "should go back to our f--king country" among other things."
• "I received the following voicemail message: "I just wanted to let you know that China has lost their best customer, America. Everybody in America is not going to buy Chinese anymore, so I hope that your country struggles and everybody has no money. I think it's pretty ignorant for your government not to protect that virus; to let that virus come out and ruin the world. Thanks, China.""
