An internal Chinese report warns that Beijing faces a rising wave of hostility in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak that could tip relations with the United States into confrontation, people familiar with the paper told Reuters.
The report, presented early last month by the Ministry of State Security to top Beijing leaders including President Xi Jinping, concluded that global anti-China sentiment is at its highest since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, the sources said.
As a result, Beijing faces a wave of anti-China sentiment led by the United States in the aftermath of the pandemic and needs to be prepared in a worst-case scenario for armed confrontation between the two global powers, according to people familiar with the report's content, who declined to be identified given the sensitivity of the matter.
The report was drawn up by the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR), a think tank affiliated with the Ministry of State Security, China's top intelligence body.

Reuters couldn't determine to what extent the stark assessment described in the paper reflects positions held by China's state leaders, and to what extent, if at all, it would influence policy. But the presentation of the report shows how seriously Beijing takes the threat of a building backlash that could threaten what China sees as its strategic investments overseas and its view of its security standing.

The thing is, Tiananmen Square is barely even remembered today, it’s pretty much been scrubbed from the History Books.
They did not get that much backlash over Tiananmen, GHW Bush made sure of that.
You got that right.
“China’s security apparatus not happy about getting tagged for Wuhan flu.”
TFB. Maybe they shouldn’t have unleashed it on the world in the first place.
Death to the CCP.
Every last one of them.
L
Total unmitigated B. S. of the highest magnitude.
Just what was that backlash?
Official Chinese story accepted that deleted the truth that thousands of anti-govt. Chinese were murdered. The world will forget this "minor" event now.
Now we are fighting the Chicoms and the USA Dems and media (can't tell them all apart.)
Stories say "Trump conspiracy theory attacks China" "Skeptics bring out hard evidence that China did not cause Coronavirus to spread" and "Without facts, Trump WH people accuse China unfairly."
The kowtowers at Reuters seem sad about it
I’d rather suggest Pearl Harbor, but America is still trying to buy a vowel.
What do you not worry about?
let it happen. That piece of **** Navy will be shown for what it is.
Like Mike Tyson said everybody’s Got A plan until they get hit
a one-man backlash....Trump. that is the media messaging whatever the topic.
“ global anti-China sentiment is at its highest since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown...”
Exactly. And now they have Hollywood, US Media, high tech, and academia in their back pockets...
The Soviets seemed invulnerable back in the ‘80s. Now they’re in the ash heap of history. By 2030, I believe it is possible that CCP is on its way out. Mandate of Heaven and all that jazz. If the gig is up, the party is over, as simple as that.
China woill not be at war with the United States.
But China will be shunned economically by the rest of the world. This will cause deep anger inside China, against the Communist Party.
It may be that the Red China Communist Party’s days in power are numbered.
NOBODY likes Red China right now. The majority of nations want little or nothing to do with China now.
Big difference is that we bankrupted the Soviets, where we are making the Chinese rich beyond their dreams.
Your diarrhea mouth never stops does it?
meh
The global response was tsk tsk
To Call Things by
Their True Names.
.
It is a Fetid and
Festering blot
On Planet Earth.
Birthing More Plauges
