Sixty-three per cent of Chinese-Australians report mental anguish from English-language media’s “biased reporting” – Pearls and Irritations

The Chinese community of Melbourne celebrates the Chinese New Year with lion dances, drums and loud crackers in the Chinatown district of the city.

63% of Australian Chinese feel anguish add to that the number of Southeast East Asians who feel the same and without a leg up that white Australians have. It’s why they place a far greater importance on education. There is still a Melbourne Club attitude to who the “Real Australians” are and they haven’t been here for 65,000 years.

New survey results from the Australia-China Relations Institute at UTS find that 91% of Chinese-Australians are concerned by the Australian English-language media’s tendency to engage in speculation about war with China, because they believe such speculation could become a self-fulfilling prophecy; and about six in ten (63%) respondents reported feelings of emotional and mental anguish in response to the media’s “biased reporting” on PRC related issues.
