Abroad. On Chinese television, the question was asked whether the United States' seemingly limitless support for Israel could have anything to do with powerful Jews in the United States. “Flagrant anti-Semitism”, contradicts the Israeli embassy in China.

It was on Tuesday that Chinese state-run CGTN aired a feature with host Zheng Junfeng about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Zheng questioned the official statement that US support for Israel is based on “common values”.
– Some believe that US pro – Israel policies can be traced to the influence that rich Jews in the US and the Jewish lobby have over US foreign policy makers, he said and continued:
– On Forbes' list of the 40 richest in the United States are 18 Jews. Jews dominate the financial, media, and Internet sectors.
However, Zheng Junfeng went on to argue that the “real explanation” for US support for Israel would be that the Americans see Israel as an instrument for achieving geopolitical goals in region.
The Israeli embassy in China, however, reacts strongly to the feature.
“We are appalled to see blatant anti-Semitism expressed in an official Chinese media body. We had hoped that conspiracy theories that Jews rule the world 'belonged to the past. Unfortunately, anti-Semitism has shown its ugly face again “, writes the embassy.
1/5 We are appalled to see blatant anti-Semitism expressed in an official Chinese media outlet, 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.
