San Francisco’s Elections Department has declined to approve 26 candidates’ chosen Chinese names for the March ballot, sparking controversy. Supervisor Connie Chan has faced criticism for allegedly invalidating Chinese Americans' identities and supporting extremists. The issue has led to accusations of racism and false identity politics in the city's far left politics. Chan's campaign donations have also crossed the $100,000 threshold, adding to the ongoing scrutiny.

Connie Chan ignited a firestorm for being racist towards Chinese Americans. This is how the far left in San Francisco operates. They engage in false identity politics to maintain power. No more. @NancyTungSF @JadeTu4SF https://t.co/G4Amvhgb5p
It is high time our elected officials stop coddling criminals and terrorists and take serious action! @NYCCouncil ignores this and instead is intent to house Asian hating child rapists in our buildings and it won’t be in the billionaires buildings it will be the working class! https://t.co/1znTgXobsl
I'm done with faux-gressives like @conniechansf who are trying to police other people's Chinese identities. The Democratic Party is one of self-determination and inclusion for all people. We should demand more from people seeking to represent all Democrats in San Francisco. https://t.co/8lrSS0nCdx
So apparently, Connie Chan has been criticizing us ABCs for not being proud of our Chinese heritage just because our Chinese names aren't on our passports. I didn't realize she was the judge of Asian pride! Too bad the Dept.of Elections doesn't agree! https://t.co/WFu6X7ssqv
Supervisor Connie Chan is too busy selling her people out to the worst extremists to actually want to unify the Asian American community She supported Chesa Boudin as he refused to charge repeat violent offenders who abused and targeted Asian Americans, especially elders in SF. https://t.co/XK7uFbUeT5 https://t.co/QiLDPIGlW1
It looks like Supervisor Connie Chan is trying to invalidate Chinese Americans. In fact, that's exactly what it looks like. Who could have ever thought that was possible in San Francisco. @eyessfboe @JadeTu4SF @MarjanPhilhour https://t.co/kSVFwwqm9p
Supervisor @conniechansf believes that 2nd generation immigrants have to prove how Chinese we are before we’re allowed to have a Chinese name. It’s disgusting and offensive. #NotChineseEnoughForChan https://t.co/PeZKYicixo
