On December 10, 2019, Bloomberg Businessweek published a comprehensive report titled Mistrust and the Hunt for Spies Among Chinese Americans. It tells the story of a Chinese American Army engineer’s ordeal (Dr. Wei Su) that reflects how the U.S. government’s distrust of China has mutated into distrust of Chinese Americans.
A Bloomberg News analysis of more than 26,000 security clearance decisions for federal contractors since 1996 demonstrates the government’s steep loss of faith in Americans with ties to China. More than three-fifths of applicants who have family or other ties to China are rejected for security clearances to work for government contractors, while two-thirds of applicants with ties to other countries are approved. The disparate treatment and impact of racial profiling on Chinese American federal employees and contractors by use of security clearance creates discriminatory barriers to their entry of employment and career path, denies Chinese Americans from serving our nation, and continues the insidious stereotyping of "Perpetual Foreigners" in our homeland.

2019年12月10日,《彭博商业周刊》发表了一篇题为《不信任并在华裔美国人中寻找间谍》的综合报道。它讲述了一位华裔美国陆军工程师(苏炜博士)的苦难经历,反映了美国政府对中国的不信任如何转变为对华裔美国人的不信任。
彭博新闻社(Bloomberg News)对1996年以来逾2.6万份联邦承包商安全背景许可决定的分析显示,政府对与中国有联系的美国人失去了信心。超过五分之三与中国有家庭或其他关系的申请人被拒绝通过为政府承包商工作的安全背景调查,而三分之二与其他国家有关系的申请人被批准。 利用安全背景调查对华裔美国联邦雇员和承包商进行种族定性所造成的差别对待和影响,对他们进入就业和职业道路造成了歧视性障碍,使华裔美国人无法为我们的国家服务,并持续了在我们的国土上对所谓“永久外国人”的阴险成见。 |
