> The hate-speech crackdown announced by social media platforms this week seems to reflect a belated realization that xenophobic online content may be fueling hatred and even radicalizing some individuals to carry out offline attacks.
The Chinese government and state media fanned the flames of nationalism and especially anti-Japanese sentiment all through the 2010s. This is the natural conclusion and now they have to back pedal to reign in the monster they've created.
The propaganda really picked up steam with the state sanctioned (until they got violent) 2012 anti-Japanese Senkaku Island protests [1] and has been getting worse ever since.

Not just a China problem. Twitter and Facebook seem drastically more polarising nowadays.
We're allowed to talk about things that were taboo until just recently: the 3rd world colonizing Western countries, Jewish and Arab struggles, and child grooming, for example.
However, many people can then can overgeneralize and it becomes another problem.
