I got out of China just in time. Anti-Semitism is on the rise and the CCP is allowing it to happen.

A Weibo account run by China's state-owned CCTV claimed the Jewish community dominates U.S. finance and politics and that the issue of Israel has often been a deciding factor in every U.S. election. The post has since been deleted.

At one point after the Hamas attacks, the hashtag "the 3% Jewish population in the U.S. controls over 70% of American wealth" became one of the top trending topics on heavily censored Weibo.


This sounds like "The Jews won't replace us" crowd here in the US.

They are xenophobic and anti-American under Winnie the Flu.

Since the Hamas attacks, they CCP refuses to condemn the attack and has allowed state media and internet influencers to attack Israel and Jews repeatedly.

My wife's mother got into a hit and run with a drunk driver and got messed up badly, so she is there until December caring for her.

I got out just in time. Anti-Semitism is on the rise.

Rule to understand in China: If it isn't censored, it's government approved. The CCP sanctions this. Winnie the Flu is a racist, xenophobic, homophobic asshole and has turned China into one of the most openly racist nations on the planet. Thanks to the intense Cult of Personality, it will be part of Chinese society for decades.

Here are some comments from Chinese influencers from the articles I posted:

"Jews always talk about how badly they were treated during World War II and throughout history. But you can't ask why. Otherwise, you are called a racist or that you envy their money," said the username of Rabbit head senior Zhang Tiegen in a Weibo post with over 2,000 likes. "Actually, before the Holocaust during World War II, Jews' reputation was down in the ghetto throughout Europe."


"In the past, Germany persecuted you. Now, you persecute Palestinians. In this world, do not force others to the corner because you would only be digging your own grave," wrote Ziwu Xiashi, one of the biggest nationalist commentators with 1 million followers on Weibo, China's equivalent of X, formerly Twitter.


"Wherever the Jews have gone, they have always been massacred. There's a reason why. You only love Jews when they are not in your area," wrote online commentator Vincent.
I got told this to my face. Jews get killed because they always cause problems.

Even when it affects one of their own, they don't care and will throw that person under the bus. SOP in China.

When Israel's consulate in Guangzhou posted a report of a Chinese Israeli woman being abducted by Hamas militants, netizens accused the consulate of trying to drive a wedge between Chinese and Palestinians citizens.

"Impressive divisive tactic," one popular comment wrote. "Is that girl even Chinese?"

Under a different news post about the woman, a comment with over 10,000 likes asked, "If she thinks she's Israeli, this has nothing to do with us. Why even post it on China's internet?"

The comments were at odds with a posting by the Chinese Embassy in Israel, which said, "Noa was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists when attending a peace music festival in southern Israel. She was dragged from Israel to Gaza. She is a daughter, a sister and a friend."

It’s sad to say, but China is so big and so ancient they used to just absorb interloper tribes, and they didn’t have to learn to get along with people who looked and acted differently unless they wanted to. Trade is good — “taking our women” is bad.

I’m sorry you are having all this trouble. May you and your wife be safe and well, and end up where you want to be.

Go the IR1 interview moved from Guangzhou to Bangkok. Waiting for it to be scheduled.

When she passes, we're moving to PA to be close to my parents. My father is atoning for all the child abuse by buying us a house there. I guess two massive heart attacks in three years opens eyes.

1: Medical/Embassy interview
2: Pay for the green card for $220
3: Go through secondary when she enters the states
4: Wait 45 days in the States and get her green card and social security number.

95% done.

People use race and religion smears to cover up their own failings.

Hence, “look in the mirror” when falsely accusing others of conspiracies, threats, “replacement” and so on. Accusing others for your own faults is projection, and is so common that most don’t even see it.

Everything TFG smears others with is some failing in himself. Starting with “fraud”.

This is like saying someone "looks American". Like most countries in the Americas, Cubans are a mix of different ethnic groups.

Trivia: Florida representative Diaz Balart is Fidel Castro's nephew by his first wife.

I still remember Sergio Romo’s t-shirt “I only look illegal”.

He returned to the SF Giants for one day to retire as a Giant, and that’s recent, and fresh in my memory.

I can't help worrying that some problem will come up with her "social credit" score and she will be unable to leave when the time comes.

5: She becomes a US citizen
6: The next day, we fill two I130 petitions for her parents to sponsor their IR5 green card visas.
7: We get them out of China.

That would seem to me to be something to raise a red flag with immigration, or at least make them question her more closely. Is there some reason why she can't stay with you in Thailand until you are able to return? Given the problems the two of you have had in the past I would think you'd try to make the process as straightforward from the INS perspective as possible i.e., show up together as a married couple entering the country.

Good luck!

Extreme nationalism and xenophobia are an unfortunately common means of grabbing and holding political power but harmful in the long run to a nation's economic success, and possibly a nation's economic viability.

Nations that do not welcome immigrants will stagnate.

I'm so sorry you had to experience all this first hand. Your story is important.
