On January 6, the day the U.S. Congress certified the election results, millions of people came to Washington, D.C., to participate in a “Save America” rally to protest election fraud. Four people died in the riot when a group of people broke into Capitol Hill. This marks the beginning of an unsettled America in 2021.
How did the attack on the Capitol happen? How does the Chinese community feel about the evolution of the election so far, and how do they feel about the future of the United States? This reporter interviewed two Chinese and two community members who attended the January 6 rally in Washington, D.C., in person.
On-site participant: The bizarre congressional break-in case
Ken, a Hong Kong resident, drove 3 hours from New Jersey to Washington D.C. a day in advance to attend the rally. When he arrived at the rally’s plaza early the next morning, he saw 200 or so Asians from a variety of backgrounds, including Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, the elderly, children, and young parents pushing strollers, in a very peaceful and orderly manner.
Ken said he saw black people wearing “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) shirts in groups of three to four, playing with their cell phones, and he “knew from experience that there was a problem. “He knew from experience that there was a problem.
In front of the Capitol, Ken stressed that people were still peacefully shouting slogans and reporters were covering the scene. Ken said he saw the police coming out of the Capitol, and also saw people using fire extinguishers on the police, people started to leave one by one, the police fired tear gas, and there were people in the distance (in the direction of the Capitol) “fighting and fighting.” At this point, someone ran up to the Capitol and someone on the tower yelled at people to get into the building.

Ken felt eerie when he heard someone come down and shout: “it is our house, go inside.” Everyone here is law-abiding, why should we go inside, we don’t pay attention to it, when he is stupid”, Ken said, adding that he didn’t know what the background of this person was, but he did see at the scene “similar to Antifa (Antifa) dressing people, someone wearing camouflage, but also see people dressed very odd, it does not feel right way.”
Ken said that originally everyone expected to see the Trump side that day to a large number of evidence of election fraud to the joint session of the two houses of Congress, but by the impact of the impact of the incident of breaking into Congress, blurring the focus, someone at the scene deliberately inciting patriots, “the purpose is to make the evidence can not explode.”
Faced with the reality of American politics, Ken believes that the next will cause a change in the map of the United States, House Speaker Pelosi came up with a proposed rule change to delete parents and children and other gender designations, “then, like the Communist Party, are called gay?” Ken said, New Yorkers fled to Florida, the nearest to New Jersey, real estate prices near his home soared, this wave of migration, is really forced by the epidemic results? People are just looking for a place with less regulation.
The media’s hypocritical double standard
Bob Liu, a 70-year-old man, also went to D.C. for the protest rally on Jan. 6. He only saw the crowd at the scene and later watched the news to find out what was going on. He also believes that Capitol Hill was not allowed to be entered, “Why do you want to rush Congress? If Antifa (Antifa) did not bring the wind direction, how could it happen? And four people died?”
According to Liu, Wednesday proved that how the leftist media and leftist politicians reported and commented on the riots depended on who was involved, “Killing a black man is a big deal, but killing four people on Capitol Hill is not. Election fraud doesn’t show you the evidence, but turns the truth into a conspiracy theory.”
Liu said the reason why he fought so hard to go to Washington time and time again to participate in the rally to protest election fraud, his goal is simple: “America has given me dignity, given me votes, and started my new life. If America is in trouble, we should stand up and uphold the Constitution of the United States.”
Watching the theft of the U.S. election, he said, as someone from a socialist country ruled by China’s Communist Party dictatorship, “that set of things we see is very familiar.”
What worries him most about this congressional incident is that this kind of election fraud will soon become the norm and the U.S. will lose its image around the world, that the electoral system and freedom of speech are disappearing, and that “disaster for the American people will come soon. This is not a question of the survival of the country, this is a question of the survival of civilization. This issue is in front of everyone, see how you treat it?”
Real estate businessman: Leftists force bombing public opinion
The ancients said, “The rise of government is in obedience to the people’s wishes; the importance of government is to win the hearts of the people; the abolition of government is to go against the people’s wishes.” Sam, a New York real estate developer, said he values the hearts of the people more than a specific step or mechanism, and that what has happened in the past few months, “even if Trump is not re-elected, he has put the ills of American society for a century in front of people one by one, and that’s enough.”
He said that the left used to do a good job on all fronts and this time it is being pushed to the wall, “Just like a movie, the best movies are the ones that are performed by the bad guys, and from November until now, they have forced public opinion to blow up, the left has gone completely crazy, ripping off all the masks and completely ignoring (election fraud). It’s coming from the opposite side to wake up Americans beyond anyone’s imagination.”
The reason why it’s beyond everyone’s imagination, Sam said, is that this election is not just for Americans, but the whole world is watching, “and in this state, he’s getting his way with all his experience. But the big picture is actually moving in the right direction, because to solve the problem, we must first let people see and shower the problem, let him play. It’s just self-destructive.”
Sam said that people coming out of Cuba and China have long had a clearer understanding of the communist system, while many Americans were still unaware of it before, “The benefit of the awakening is that I see you clearly, (so) this victory is fundamental, that is, all the people are awakening, and you cannot continue afterwards.”
Chairman of the Chinese commune: prevention of the people’s anger is like prevention of the river
The anger of Trump’s supporters that the election was unfair is known worldwide,” said Yu Jinshan, president of the Chinese Communist Party. The hundreds of thousands of angry people gathered at the National Assembly to protest, there will certainly be the masses too excited, but the DC police and the National Assembly police are so negligent and weak, the mobilization of national soldiers are not used to know that there may be something, but not to prevent, careless, the security of the National Assembly is worrying.”
He said, the people’s anger is like The prevention of the river, the water rushing to dredge rather than build a dike. The anger of half of the American people will not end with the inauguration of a new president, but begin. “Condemnation, cursing the other side of the anger, will fuel the fire, not to help, to understand the other side of the cause of anger, investigate and explain and deal with in order to resolve the anger, in order to restore the rational democratic institutions of the United States.”
