CCP or Democratic Party Line? Who Can Tell?
On a number of issues, it is getting hard to tell the difference between the Chinese Communist Party line and the Democratic Party line. As, for example, the current conflict in the Middle East and America’s historic support for Israel.
The Jerusalem Post quotes a Chinese government English-language outlet:
Israel is a US military proxy that enjoys US support because of the influence of wealthy Jews, Chinese government-affiliated English-language news channel CGTN said Tuesday in a video posted online.
In a video titled “Why does the US act as a diplomatic shield for Israel?” presenter Zheng Junfeng floated a version of the theory, found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and other antisemitic tracts, that Jews control government policies by nefarious means.

Israel’s Embassy in China is protesting what it describes as “blatant anti-Semitism” on a program ran by the overseas channel of state broadcaster CCTV discussing the ongoing violence in Gaza and elsewhere.
In a tweet, the embassy says “we have hoped that the times of the ‘Jew’s controlling the world’ conspiracy theories were over, unfortunately anti-Semitism has shown its ugly face again.”
“We are appalled to see blatant anti-Semitism expressed in an official Chinese media outlet,” the tweet says.
Spokesperson Erez Katz Volovelsky says the embassy has nothing to add to its tweet and has so far received no reply from CGTN, which CCTV operates for foreign audiences, similar to Russia’s RT.
