Anti-Semitism makes it to China?
Book alleging Jews run the world and control global wealth becomes bestseller in country
(ynet) -- By Boaz Arad --
BEIJING – Who's to blame for the current global financial crisis? According to a bestselling book in China, which is leading the sales charts in the country, the answer is clear: The Jews.
