根据最新一项基于纽约与芝加哥大学合作完成的调查报告指出，在中美两国经济贸易、供应链及地缘政治的冲突背景下，中国美国人中有超半数遭遇着不同程度的种族歧视。
该调查对504名具有华裔身份成年人士进行了访问，结果显示：68% 的受访者表示每月至少会经历一次歧视行为，其中约有 85% 认为这些歧视是基于其族裔、国籍或语言背景。调查中也提到，27% 受访者受到的是言语侮辱，而另外的 21% 则报告遭遇了物理上的威胁或骚扰。
此外，该研究报告还揭示了华裔社区内尤其是青年和女性群体，在持续遭受歧视的影响下面临着严重的心理健康问题。50% 的受访者曾感到极度绝望，43% 经历过抑郁情绪，还有39% 对自我价值感产生怀疑。
报告显示，中美之间的关系紧张以及两国在政治与媒体领域的言辞，对华裔美国人的社会交往产生了负面效应。近年来，由于中国对于台湾的强硬态度和在全球地缘政治中的扩张活动，以及华盛顿对中国进行制裁并试图切断其与盟友的供应链联系等行动，两国间的关系出现恶化。
截至2022年，全美共有约2420万亚裔美国人，其中华裔占比最高达24%，约为580万人。五分之四的调查对象表示担心美国媒体在提及中国及其中美关系时所使用的语言与言辞可能加剧了歧视现象；61% 的受访者认为这些负面言语影响着他们被陌生人对待的方式，约有四分之一的人提到这种歧视也影响了与亲朋好友之间的交往。
“了解华裔美国人面临的心理健康问题、种族歧视以及对中美关系的政治观点对于制定包容性和前瞻性的政策至关重要。”中国美国团体委员会的临时主席如是说。“这些洞察不仅丰富了政治讨论的内容，也有助于构建一个更加公正的社会。”
调查还覆盖了涵盖从歧视体验到政治参与度和对中美关系的看法等多方面的49个问题。
