Several Chinese influencers have sensationalized on social media that the United States is on the brink of a civil war. They are referring to the standoff between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the federal government over how to deal with illegal immigrants.
Even Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of Global Times, a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, joined the discussion. “Isn’t it wonderful if it indeed turns into a civil war,” he wrote in a Weibo post.
