China Is Stoking Racial Tensions in America
Newsweek ^ | 06/10/2020 | Gordon Chang

can't breathe."

That was the reply on Saturday of Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying to her American counterpart, Morgan Ortagus, who had criticized Beijing over its moves to end Hong Kong's autonomy.

Since Friday, when President Donald Trump announced measures targeting China over Hong Kong and other matters, Beijing has waged a ferocious disinformation campaign against the United States.

The campaign is clearly a result of Beijing's new hardline approach to the world, and is possibly a sign that Chinese policymakers have run out of feasible options. In any case, relations between Washington and Beijing are about to become even more testy.

Beijing, after Trump's remarks, did not waste time hitting American political figures. "U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once called the violent protests in Hong Kong 'a beautiful sight to behold,'" wrote Hu Xijin, head of the Communist Party's Global Times tabloid, on Saturday. "U.S. politicians now can enjoy this sight from their own windows."

Hu, reveling in the rioting in American cities, did not appear constrained by historical truth. "It is a beautiful sight to behold and I commend the courage of the people there for speaking out in light of China's actions in Hong Kong these days," Pelosi said at a Congressional human rights hearing last June, after being shown a picture of the June 4 candlelight vigil in Hong Kong's Victoria Park—an event that was entirely peaceful.

Moreover, the Global Times Twitter feed Saturday asked if New York City police officers, who drove a car through a crowd and caused merely scrapes to unruly protesters, were "[p]eacekeepers or mass murderers?"

On Sunday, Hu took another step into fantasy, suggesting Hong Kong protesters were behind the unrest in the United States. "I highly suspect that Hong Kong rioters have infiltrated American states," he tweeted.

BE AWARE !!

China’s beef with the United States extends well past Hong Kong. There is virtually nothing that Washington does that escapes Beijing’s condemnation. That’s because Chinese leaders have identified America as its enemy.

On May 13 of last year, People’s Daily, the most authoritative publication in China, reprinted a Global Times piece that declared a “people’s war” on the U.S. The declaration came along with two other especially hostile pieces in official media that same month.

Beijing has been trying to surreptitiously exacerbate social divisions and racial tensions, something that it did in the open in Canada in January of last year when its then-ambassador, Lu Shaye, tried to mobilize those of Chinese origin against “white supremacy.”

The media is constantly giving foeitn media and governments far too much credit over influence on politics in America

All these idiot kids out there burning and looting are 100% trained by the US educational system - we got thousands and thousands of Marxists embedded in our education system from K through college

Do you think for one minute any of these riding children out there give a crap with the Chinese media says? With the Russian media says? Not a chance

Goading insurrection within the United States serves the objectives of the Communist regime in China very well. So long as their favorite attack Chihuahua, Kim Jong Un, has been largely sidelined (nowhere to be found, apparently), this makes a substitute diversion to keep the Americans largely preoccupied, while they ply their mischief elsewhere in the world.

George Soros seems to be fully in accordance with this strategy on the part of the Chinese Communists, and is lending his full and unrestrained support.
