Hi Weijia,
Just saw you doing Washington Week and thought you were better than Costa. Could you tell me how you got what looks like a burn scar on your chest?
Weijia- hello. I’m just wondering; why do all the other Correspondents, on yours as well as the other news services– always mispronounce your name? They ALWAYS call you “Wee Jia. ” Isn’t the correct pronunciation “Way Jia?” I’m not fluent in Mandarin, but WEI is always pronounced WAY in that language- not WEE. Just correct them- and tell them to get it right. Thanks for all your hard work, in these tough times.
Weijia Jiang wants an answer to her question to Donald Trump. Tell her to email me. I am an Engineer and scientist. No matter how many tests we run not one of them will cure one person or prevent one person from becoming infected. I have been investing in what needs to be done. Without a vaccine, we need to use several disinfecting systems that have been around for 70 or more years and are in use all over but have been ignored by the CDC and the president.
I have been trying to publish these solutions at the CBS station in Baltimore. Killing the microorganisms is the only way to reduce the spread of the virus. Scientists have known how to kill microorganisms since the 1890s. It is an engineering problem because we need to build equipment to accomplish this. Send me an e-mail. Jack Lorenz
Coronavirus has spread rapidly throughout America. Weijia mentioned, the Phoenix Trump rally could have contributed to the spread of Coronavirus, this is a very possible. However, why did she not mention ALL the protests and looters, I do not see all of them wearing masks or 5 feet apart! All factors should be mentioned, this virus does not care about politics!
Sorry, Jack. She wants to do the Gotcha Questions that don’t mean diddly asked of someone other than Trump.
Keep up the tough journalism! It is great to see you questioning Trump so strongly. I myself was born in Taiwan and my ancestors are from the Xiamen area. My relatives were able to end fascism by the GuoMinDang by 1990’s and now my cousins in Taiwan enjoy free speech too. Every time I see Trump on TV, I hear a big noise. You are much more intelligent than he is, so keep up your tough questions!
Xiaojie, qing nin yong fantizi ba ninde ming he xingzi xie gei wo. Nin daibiao xinwende gongzuo hen you yisi!

Great job on questioning the President, keep it up.
Race baiting example of the liberal left agenda – nice try.
How do these people ever expect to be respected, I would argue better suited for another career. I do love the depth of the other comments, “beautiful face, ” “beautiful name, ” “obviously brilliant” coming from Baltimore (?), “impressed by your intelligence” – how could anyone tell –
yep those are all the qualifying features of the shiniest object of the day.

Weijia,
Today at the end of the press conference in the rose garden my heart just broke as to the way the president spoke to you. The tone and demeanor that he displays allow the racists to continue the attacks on all Asians and minorities. You asked a relevant and thoughtful question that he was just not smart enough to answer. As usual, he rambles and reads his script at the level of a third-grade child. Thank you for coming back at him even though he did not have the guts to respond as an adult would.
Great job on reporting about Covid 19.We live in Prior Lake Minnesota. My wife wants to know where you got the beige coat you wore on April 10 newscast?
Just a tad too loud.
Your utter disrespect and conduct as an alleged journalist at the April 19th COVID Press Briefing was absolutely appalling.
Haha! You are a complete fool. It’s her job to ask the President the tough questions, and she does her job quite well. Thank you very much!
Agree totally!. She only made an accusation. Actually, no one has a crystal ball !
Asking questions that you didn’t like? His non-answers were rude. He has no manners.
Hi Weijia,
I am quite impressed by your intelligence & that you’re not afraid to call out President Trump when he gives the wrong information. And you’re beautiful to look at. Keep up the good work!
What an impressive stand in with questioning of Donald Trump on the Kushner “our” stockpile situation. How strong and resolute Ms. Jiang is! Very very impressive. Sign me up for her fan club on outstanding reporting and courage. If only the entire press corps was this strong!
Hi, Weijia, I was surprised to find that there is a journalist in the US who has the same first name as mine. What a happy surprise! I’m much older than you are. Of your parents‘ generation in fact. My son was born in 1984. I live in Nanjing, China. So all the best to you and your family! I’m so glad that you are a high achiever. Take care!
Hello Wang, her surname is not the same as yours. Read it carefully. It is “Jiang, ” not Wang. I know that Asians have trouble with details, but you should not since you have training from the Ministry of Public Security as a spy to recruit foreign Chinese in significant positions to exert influence campaigns in the West.
Seriously? This is a joke, right? If not, then you should follow your own advice and read the original comment carefully. Clearly, the person (who is also not necessarily a government employee) wrote “first name”. Also, what do you mean by “Asians have trouble with details” and all that other crap that you wrote? You have to be joking. Why do people like you even exist?
Good evening, Weijia,
I remember watching you on WBOC-TV when I lived on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. I thought you appeared professional, articulate and obviously brilliant. I did not think you would stay long in a small market. Then when you moved on to WJZ -TV in Baltimore, I figured your next stop would be national news! A belated congratulation on your success. Best wishes for continuing success!
Dare she ask CCP Xi the same question ??
You are my Media Hero!
Please continue to ask hard questions!
AGREED!
Weijia your absolutely beautiful your first name is beautiful too.
Hello, Weijia. This is James. I recently discovered you reporting on my local CBS station (Minneapolis, MN). I was impressed by your beautiful face. You do a great job reporting on your story. I hope you keep on reporting, you have a way of making my day when I see you.
Bye, James.
Hi, Weijia. You are pride of Chinese immigrants just like me, who came from China when I was 20 years old in 1987.We educated our son to carry out Chinese cultures and we are proud that he is a naval officer serving in the US Navy after he received his bachelor degree.
Please keep up good work and always follow you up on CBS.
