‘I feel like a target’: US trade war worries tech workers of Chinese descent

According to a Guardian survey through Blind, employees are already facing negative consequences or predict problems

Technology workers of Chinese descent say that they are experiencing backlash due to the US-China trade war and fears over Huawei, according to a survey commissioned by the Guardian through Blind, an app allowing anonymous workplace communication.

"With the trade war against China and especially the Huawei case I feel like a target more and more every day," an anonymous Amazon employee wrote in a comment on the app, which is popular among technology employees and verifies employment through work emails. "I can't even feel comfortable about being Chinese because so many Americans see China as a threat now."
