'Anti-Jew': Antisemitic comments surge across Chinese social media October 30, 2023 at 11:14PM

Antisemitic comments have surged on Chinese social media platforms amid the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas. Chinese users have been searching for and mentioning the term "anti-Jew" on WeChat, while negative feedback has flooded the film "Schindler's List" on streaming site Bilibili and film critique platform Douban. Online hostility has also targeted influencers who identify as Jewish. The reasons behind this surge in antisemitic comments are unclear, but it may be influenced by China's pro-Palestinian stance during the conflict.
