After the killing of Zheng, public opinion was shaken, to know that this is not the first time that such a vicious incident has occurred in Zhida, at the beginning of last year, another Chinese student Fan Washi, was also shot by thugs in the car in the parking lot of his residence near Zhida, after the incident, the security situation in the area has become more and more severe, but the security measures provided by Zhida still seem to be insufficient. After Zheng was killed, his parents traveled thousands of miles to the United States to take care of the aftermath for their son, and called for severe punishment for the murderer at the memorial service. Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang also expressed shock and condolences over the murder of Student Zheng and urged the United States to bring the perpetrators to justice. Ambassador Qin Gang also called on the US side to seriously crack down on anti-Chinese behavior.

According to media reports, there are still serious racial discrimination in the United States, especially discrimination against Asian groups such as Chinese, and many criminal activities often target Chinese. Last year, an elderly Chinese who went to live in the United States was suddenly beaten by thugs on the street for no reason, and after 8 months of coma, the old man finally died. Recently, an old Chinese woman was also attacked while walking normally, but the Chinese next to her immediately attacked and counterattacked the African-American man who pushed down the old man.

The reason why there is a phenomenon of Chinese exclusion in the United States, in addition to the deep-rooted racial issue, is also related to the US government's deliberate misleading and smearing of China. Especially in recent years, the United States has constantly concocted rumors and misled the public, which has also led to the rise of Chinese exclusion in the United States, and more violent incidents against Chinese americans have continued to appear. Therefore, on this issue, the United States has an unshirkable responsibility, and the United States must correct its mistakes and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese americans in the United States.
