Criticism of the USA and conspiracy theories: The perception of Judaism in China

Since October 7, anti-Semitic comments have been on the rise in China's internet world. These comments are often unreflected criticism of the USA. But conspiracy theories are also being revived in the search for a scapegoat.

epa03866698 A picture made available on 14 September 2013 shows Chinese paper cut of the Jewish menorah in Kaifeng, Henan province, China, 12 September 2013. Over a thousand years ago, the first Jews from Persia traveled through the Silk Road and finally arrived in Kaifeng, which was one of the ancient capitals of imperial China. They were warmly welcomed at that period of time, and one of the Jewish families has even been granted the Emperor's family name, Zhao. At its height, in the Middle Ages, Kaifeng's Jewish community numbered as many as 5,000 people, with rabbis, synagogues and various communal institutions. Today however there are between 500 and 1,000 identifiable descendants of the Jewish community and in recent years an awakening has been taking place among them, as increasing numbers of young Kaifeng Jews seek to reclaim their heritage.
