May 05, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - A report from China's top intelligence ministry presented to President Xi Jinping reportedly warned of growing anti-Chinese sentiment around the world and raised the possibility of military conflict with the U.S.

Reuters reported Monday that the analysis, which was supposedly presented to Xi early last month, concluded that anti-Chinese sentiment resulting from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic was at its highest since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. The report was created by the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, a think tank affiliated with the Ministry of State Security.

The worst-case scenario outlined by the report apparently indicated the possibility of direct military conflict between the U.S. and China as a result of the growing dispute over Beijing's early responses to its coronavirus outbreak.
