Throughout the past year, our communities in the United States and elsewhere in the world have faced extraordinary challenges. Unfortunately, today we continue to face additional challenges, with increased hatred and violence towards our friends, family, colleagues, and the greater AAPI community across the U.S.
Below, the CGCC team has put together a list of resources for the U.S.-China business community to consult in combating anti-Asian racism and hatred.
