The march started from Foley Square in Lower Manhattan’s Civic Center, where participants also stood in solidarity with Burmese democracy activists who are being suppressed by the Burmese military government.

The former secretary-general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Mr. Chow Wing Hong, said he agreed with a Burmese pro-democracy activist at the scene that he was concerned about “anti-Asian hate crimes” and could also be more concerned about what is happening in Asia where his Parents and grandparents come from, because many things are interlocked.
While Asian Americans are concerned about what’s going on in the United States, they can also be more concerned about what’s going on in the different countries in Asia where their parents and grandparents are from, what’s really going on in those areas,” Chow said.
“If they don’t pay attention to what’s happening in Asia right now and just purely talk about opposing Asian hate crimes, I believe this thing of opposing Asian hate crimes will never end.”
Humane China President Zhou Fenglock said, “For Asians, we, like all people in the world, we want to pursue human freedom and dignity; for countries, we want democracy and rule of law.”
Zhou Fenglock pointed out that Asia’s greatest enemy is the Chinese Communist Party, and that the common enemy of many groups that day is in fact the Chinese Communist Party.
“If we want to focus on the authoritarian persecution that Asians are suffering, then the tragic human rights persecution that is happening in Myanmar and mainland China right now cannot be bypassed or ignored, and that is the real support for Asians.” He said.
Bi Yunquan, a pioneer of the Hong Kong democracy movement and a Hong Kong resident in the U.S., said, “Now the Chinese Communist Party’s War Wolf diplomacy has shown the world that the Chinese Communist Party just wants to control the whole universe, and that the Chinese Communist Party has a different Perception than the general public, that it has to control everything to feel at ease.”
“Based on its kind of dysfunctional psychology and values, if we can’t steer it in the right direction, then we have to teach it a lesson.” Bi Runquan said, “It has to be overthrown completely, and it cannot be allowed to harm the whole world.”
“It [the CCP] can sacrifice Chinese people and let them carry the virus to the whole world, you see its values are totally distorted, it’s not from human beings at all, it’s too evil.”
