On April 7, the Committee of 100 (C100 百人会) issued a statement condemning racial profiling against Chinese Americans. The statement was broadly distributed to the media and read by C100 President Frank Wu during its annual conference in New York.

The statement responds to a few high-level American government officials, respected media outlets, and opinion leaders who have stated or suggested in the last few years that all Chinese persons in America should be suspected of wrongdoing.  However, "overzealous criminal prosecutions in recent years of innocent individuals such as Sherry Chen and Xiaoxing Xi, like Wen Ho Lee before them, have embarrassingly fallen apart, while ruining lives for no reason. Such targeting of individuals based on their ethnic heritage or national origin violates our shared American ideals. It simply has to stop."

"Racial profiling is wrong and un-American in our nation of democracy." The statement concludes that "by standing up and speaking out for what is right and just, Chinese Americans can help lead the way in answering the call that is always before us as Americans: to embody more perfectly the ideals and principles of this great nation we call home."

C100 pledges additional plans and actions beyond the released statement.  A conference is scheduled for September 28, 2019 in East Palo Alto, California.
