On December 17th, 1943, the US Congress passed the Magnuson Act, also known as the Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act, which ended the deeply harmful Chinese Exclusion Act that had been in place for 61 years. This year marks the 80th anniversary of repealing the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Against the backdrop of increasing anti-Asian sentiment and deteriorating US-China relations, it is even more important to commemorate this historic moment, learn from history and prevent it from repeating.
