I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to find the Chinese government supporting Mr. Trump … the goal of both China and the Soviet Union/Russia has been to try to sew division within the USA.

Making it appear that somehow it’s liberal demonstrators who are anti-Chinese would be a good way to do that (Weibo is heavily censored). It ensures the Chinese population sees Mr. Trump as a good thing and any attempt by liberals to try to oust his racist supporters from his inner circle as opposing the Chinese people.

A hoped for response might be Chinese citizens would turn against us.

Good job, GOP. Russia, China, and North Korea supporting you? Gaaaa. Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave.

The Beijing government likes to stoke up nationalism among the population, and so would more than happy to use anything vaguely anti-Chinese to their advantage. Since most Chinese have no access to outside media and have little understanding of American society, the government can tell them any damned thing about the demonstrators and it will be believed. It’s like Fox News without any other sources to counterbalance the bullshit.

The recent protests in Hong Kong are one example. Pro-democracy protests are described as insurrectionary, while pro-Beijing protests are patriotic. The context of the protests — and the likelihood the pro-Beijing protests are bought and paid for by the CPC — are glossed over.

You can be sure any BS Trump tries which antagonizes China will be used as anti-American propaganda.
