Opinion: Vancouver’s Chinese communities are speaking up this election

A prolonged surge in anti-Asian hate, combined with skyrocketing street violence in Chinatown, has galvanized Vancouver’s Chinese communities this municipal election. Shirking their usual political disengagement, Chinese Canadians want politicians to know that their voices matter.
The mood shift is conspicuous in Chinatown, where residents are fed up with endemic street crime. Random stabbings and violent assaults have become regular occurrences, scaring off visitors and leaving local residents — especially low-income seniors — terrified of leaving their homes. But fear and anger appear to be fuelling a political awakening.

In 2020, there were more anti-Asian hate crimes in Vancouver, a city of nearly 700,000 people, than in the 10 most populous US cities combined — a statistic which led the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University San Bernardino to publish data christening Vancouver “The Anti-Asian Hate Crime Capital of North America.”
