The results show a significant correlation between the spikes in Sinophobic tweets, Sinophobic sentiments, and surges in COVID-19 cases, revealing that the evolution of the pandemic influenced public sentiment and the prevalence of Sinophobic discourse. The framework also highlights the predominant presence of negative sentiments, such as annoyance and denial, which underscores the impact of political narratives and misinformation shaping public opinion.
