Report released by the Office of the National Intelligence Director

The article said that in order to better understand China's decisions on nuclear weapons and geopolitics, the US intelligence agency has been under tremendous pressure. Although both parties support the United States to adopt a tougher attitude towards China, some social people or organizations are worried that strengthening surveillance will have a adverse effect on Chinese Americans. For example, the Chinese who talk to relatives or friends in China is more likely to be monitored.

This kind of concern is actually based on history. The U.S. government has discriminated against a specific citizenship in the name of national security. During World War II, Japanese Americans were forced to enter the detention concentration camp; during the civil rights movement in the 1960s, most black opinion leaders were monitored; many mosques and Muslims were monitored after the "9.11" terrorist attack. The discrimination facing Chinese Americans can be traced back to the "China Evaluation Act" in 1882, which is the first law that clearly prohibits specific ethnic immigrants.

Some documents leaked by Snowden show that the National Security Agency has huge power to monitor domestic and foreign communications. When monitoring foreign targets, intelligence agencies can obtain the communication content of U.S. citizens who have not been investigated, which will also collect telephone or emails of American citizens when investigating foreign communications.

According to the provisions of the US 702, the Federal Investigation Agency can access some data collected by the National Security Agency without authorization. The advocates civil rights have long believed that the proportion of the ethnic community is particularly high according to the search based on the so -called searches of the so -called 702 clauses.

The report from the National Intelligence Director's Office pointed out that Chinese Americans "may increase the risks of such accidents", and the same is true of non -Chinese Americans with business or individuals in China. The report recommends reviewing artificial intelligence projects to ensure that they "avoid continuing historic prejudice and discrimination."

At the end, the report also suggested that the intelligence community should expand unconscious bias training for those who handle the collection information, and reiterate the internal reiteration of federal law to target someone because of race.
