China is facing accusations of genocide at home while backing the Palestinians in Gaza. Antisemitic hate is thriving on Chinese social media, largely ignored by the government's online censors. The U.S. wants Beijing's help to prevent the war in Gaza from escalating into a larger regional conflict. China's internet is flooded with antisemitic rhetoric following the Hamas massacre, raising concerns about China's influence in the Middle East and its strategy to displace U.S. hegemony. The U.S. State Department has noted a rapid increase in online discourse of antisemitic tropes in China, following Israel's invasion of Gaza.

A 'hornet's nest' of antisemitic hate is going unchecked on Chinese social media, largely ignored since Oct. 7th by the government's usually heavy-handed online censors. Some believe China may be allowing antisemitism to thrive to undermine the US. @OutFrontCNN @EricCheungwc https://t.co/WWM4MPt6zQ
