Business owners and workers told CNN Business that recently, racism and xenophobia against Chinese and Chinese-looking people have been a factor in driving business closures and unemployment claims.

In some of New York City’s predominantly Asian neighborhoods, business owners told CNN Business that foot traffic took a downturn months before lockdowns were in place. Not only that, but Asian employees and business owners told CNN Business they were also apprehensive about commuting to work, as people would give them strange looks and news about anti-Asian hate crimes were spreading across their social media networks.

“Revoking Chinese sovereign immunity would set a dangerous precedent, affording China or other countries an excuse to suspend America’s own sovereign immunity under the principle of negative reciprocity. It thus could make the United States more vulnerable to lawsuits from people in other countries over the consequences of U.S. government action,” said Rachel Esplin Odell, a research fellow in the East Asia program at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

The leaked dossier is yet to be made public for independent scrutiny. But the dramatic tone of the quotes in the Telegraph and the far-fetched implications indicate that it is along the lines of infamous intelligence assessments and media leaks by anonymous officials, which have been the staple of Western foreign policy for decades. Remember how Saddam Hussein secretly obtained yellowcake uranium and was ready to strike Europe with his missiles in 45 minutes? Or the Russian bots that swayed the 2016 election with memes? If true, we can expect many ‘revelations’ in months to come.
