Yan Xiong stood up to the communist government in China as a young pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protester — now he wants to take down former Mayor Bill de Blasio in the race for Congress.
“It would be horrible if Bill de Blasio is elected to Congress,” Xiong told The Post Sunday.
De Blasio last week announced he is running for the 10th District House seat, and so is Xiong. They will face off in the Democratic primary scheduled for August 23.
Nearly 20% of the population in the newly drawn 10th Congressional District is Asian American, taking in Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, as well as the large Chinese immigrant community in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Xiong, 57, said de Blasio doesn’t stand a chance.
