美國境內亞裔屢遭攻擊，國民黨表達遺憾與關切
自去年起，美國因新冠疫情肆虐的政治效應，致其境內亞裔屢屢遭受各種身心上的攻擊，中國國民黨對此深感遺憾，並表達關切之意。
僅去年一年，在美國因「仇恨亞裔」所造成的攻擊便將近3,800起。美國憲法揭示了其國內人民「不分種族一律平等」的精神，這不僅與中華民國的立國精神相符，也類同於國民黨主張族群融合的信念。國民黨由衷希望美國境內各種族能鄙棄陳見、和平共處，尤其在新冠疫情再起之際，全世界人類應團結一致，合作消弭疫情。
國民黨強調，五月是美國的「亞太裔傳統月」，近來拜登政府自國務卿布林肯以降，有多位官員肯定亞裔美國人對美國的貢獻，國民黨對此表示肯定，也期許拜登政府能更採取更積極的措施，來保障亞裔民眾在美國的人身以及財產安全。
國民黨呼籲蔡英文總統，當美國亞裔人身安全似有惡化，以及當多國新冠疫情再起，應更加重視我國國民及僑民在海外的安全問題，必要時應透過外交或相關管道，向所在國政府表達我國關切或慰問之意。
國民黨也要求民進黨政府，給予在海外堅守崗位的駐外官員更多且及時的關懷與鼓勵，落實駐外館處疫情防護的標準作業程序，並且盡快提供足夠的安全防護措施，包括疫苗施打，莫讓他們感到「有功無賞、有過必罰」。
Asians in U.S. Repeatedly Attacked - KMT Expresses Regret and Concerns
Since last year, Asians have repeatedly suffered various physical and psychological attacks because of the political effects from the raging COVID-19 pandemic in the US. The Kuomintang (KMT) deeply regrets this and expresses our concerns.
Last year alone, there were nearly 3,800 attacks in the U.S. due to "Asian hate." The US Constitution states that “all people are equal regardless of race.” This is not only consistent with the spirit of the Republic of China (ROC), but also similar to the KMT’s belief in ethnic integration. The KMT sincerely hopes that all ethnic groups in the U.S. can abandon stereotypes towards each other and live side by side peacefully. This is especially important when the COVID-19 pandemic returns as people around world should unite and cooperate to eliminate any future pandemic.
The KMT emphasized that May is traditionally designated as “Asian Pacific American Heritage Month” in the U.S. Since Biden was sworn in on January 20th, many officials in the administration have affirmed the contributions of Asian Americans in the U.S. The KMT affirmed this and hopes that the Biden administration will adopt measures to actively protect personal property and safety of Asian people in the U.S.
The KMT calls on President Tsai Ing-wen to pay more attention to the safety of our nationals and expatriates overseas, especially when the personal safety of Asian Americans appears to be deteriorating and the COVID-19 pandemic continues in many countries. When necessary, the Tsai administration should express our country’s concerns to the U.S. government through diplomatic or related channels.
The KMT also requested that the DPP government provide additional, timely care and encouragement to officials stationed abroad to implement standard operating procedures for pandemic prevention in overseas missions, and provide adequate safety protection measures as soon as possible, including vaccinations. Please do not let them feel like “there is no reward for merits, but there must be punishment for demerits.”
