A letter via an email I sent on 5\/11\/2010 to Mr. Biden and his presidential campaign strategy team. It was a response to a recent email from him (or his campaign) to solicit a donation from me.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is my reply to your 4\/29\/2020 email asking me for a\ndonation for your presidential campaign and the Democratic Unity Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, let me say that I am a strong critic of\nPresident Trump and I would like to support Mr. Biden to be the next President of\nthe U.S. and other Democratic candidates running for office in the 2020\nelection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think we are offered a golden opportunity to defeat Trump\nand to remove from office many incumbent national, state, and local\nRepublicans. The main reason is due to the\nperformance track record of Trump and the whole Republican Party during the\nlast 3 years and 4 months:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The above track records provide ample reasons\nfor removing Trump and his Republican yes-people from power, and provide\ncritical and convincing arguments to choose Mr. Biden over Trump. If Mr. Biden\nand the Democratic Party would seize and focus on this poor performance record\nof Trump and the Republican Party, then you will be able to defeat Trump and\nthe Republican Party come this November.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if Mr. Biden and the Democratic Party would try to outdo Trump in his bashing of China as in Mr. Biden\u2019s recent \u201cUnprepared\u201d ad [1], then Mr. Biden and the Democratic Party will be unable to seize this golden opportunity, because instead of attacking Trump\u2019s poor performance record where he is so vulnerable, your trying to outdo Trump in his bashing of China is not based on facts, and furthermore you are supporting Trump\u2019s scapegoat excuse for his mistakes and incompetency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n China did not create the new coronavirus. On 12\/31\/2019, about a month after mysterious\nillnesses first appeared in Wuhan, China, the Chinese government alerted the\nWHO about these mysterious illnesses. On\n1\/11\/2020, Chinese scientists posted to the world the genome of the mysterious\nnew virus (now known as COVID-19). This\nled shortly after to WHO developing a template for preparing tests. Then\nmany countries (such as Germany and South Korea) used this information to successfully\ndevelop diagnostic tests for COVID-19. \nUnfortunately, our country did not use the WHO template, and instead tried\nto develop our own test which took a long time to develop and the initial tests\ndid not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, China made some mistakes in its initial handling of\nthis new mysterious infection, but it is understandable that such mistakes\ncould have easily occurred in light of the newness of this infection. Just look how the U.S. and other countries on\nmultiple occasions have revised their statistics and understanding of the\norigin and methods of spreading of this virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Almost on every step of the way, Trump has completely\nmismanaged our country\u2019s response to COVID-19. \nAfter wasting about more than two months of critical time, he tried to\ncover up his own mistakes and find a scapegoat in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Mr. Biden follows the same path, he is essentially validating\nTrump\u2019s excuse and incorrectly and unfairly putting the blame on China. Furthermore, the kind of ads like\n\u201cUnprepared\u201d is not convincing and is unlikely to gain the support of other Democrats\nand undecided voters, and definitely not any Trump supporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another consequence is that you help to create phobic\nagainst China and Chinese Americans, as well as Asian Americans. This just contributes to more racism in our\ncountry. Does Mr. Biden want to scare\naway and lose the votes and support of Chinese Americans, as well as Asian\nAmericans which is the fastest growing racial\/ethnic group in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Biden and the Democratic Party need the votes and\nsupport of a cross spectrum of Americans, including a progressive coalition as\nwell as younger voters. Your campaign\nmust be based on criticizing the lousy performance record of Trump and the\nRepublican Party, instead of finding a scapegoat in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Biden, do you want to seize this golden opportunity and provide leadership and hope to restore our great country as the beacon of the world, or do you want to go down in history as the person who caused this great country to suffer through another four years of Trump?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
