Hate is a powerful emotion that propagandists are weaponizing. We’ve seen Hamas’s hatred of Israel and Jewish people consuming the lives of men, women, and children. China refuses to condemn it.

China’s economy is faltering, and its goal of surpassing US global power is out of reach. Now, they want to take the US down a notch or two year by year until they can recover and restart the race to the top of the global world order. At the moment, they’re facing another century of humiliation.

Their hatred is formed in jealousy and burns white hot with every humiliation they have to endure. There’s a bit of Middle East wisdom they should ponder: Pride comes before a fall.
