Hundreds of immigrant Chinese residents protested against the expansion of temporary shelters for single mothers facing domestic violence, motivated by misinformation spread via WeChat.
Local far-right political mobilization, often characterized by right-wing rallies among immigrant Chinese residents, has led to significant pushback against shelter proposals across various cities.
Counterprotesters at the Rosemead City Council meeting for the shelter proposal faced hostility, with accusations of bringing crime into the community being commonplace.
Recent protests reflect a troubling trend where immigrant Chinese communities, historically supportive of social initiatives, are now opposing shelters for marginalized groups, stemming from concerns amplified on social media.
