China’s foreign minister said Saturday that Israel has gone too far in responding to last week’s invasion by Hamas, China’s official news agency reported.
Speaking to Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Israel’s actions have extended beyond self-defense.
According to Xinhua, China has an interest in helping resolve the conflict and the underlying issues involving the Palestinian population.
He’s not wrong. But it’s worth remembering that when China faced a far smaller provocation from their own restive Muslims, in Xinjiang, they responded by locking up a large fraction of the population in vast reeducation camps…
Not saying that’s right, but at least they didn’t bomb the camps…
I think if they felt the need to they would have. China and Israel’s government both place about the same value on the lives of people who get in their way, China is just a lot more self conscious about its international image.
This is a stupid take. 70 years has passed since China’s last military attack on a nation. 70 years. But sure, let’s ignore history and view things from our fee fees.
China may be oppressive against those in its nation. But it’s proven from decades of peace to not do anything like what you are saying.
They attack sovereign waters all the time. They make threats to Taiwan nearly daily.
So who got killed?

Love it, can’t find an answer so you turn to ad hominem. The last bastion of a loser.
I’m so hurt right now
Where in my comment did I talk about their willingness to attack other countries? I said they didn’t value the lives of people who get in their way, like the pro-democracy student protesters they massacred in 1989, or the Uyghurs they’ve been enslaving/brutalizing/killing in concentration camps more recently.
There’s no evidence of killing. The UN even visited and stated they did not believe China was engaged in mass killing. So no, nothing like what Israel is doing.
Plenty of circumstantial evidence of killing (e.g. missing people), and when there’s been documented imprisonment forced labor and forced sterilizations, the fact that they don’t say “… and then we kill them” in any written documents the UN can get their hands on and just rely on their guards to know what to do really doesn’t matter
Both countries want to exterminate people who challenge their aims, China’s just got a slightly more controlled environment to do it in
Right right, killing thousands is comparable to circumstantial evidence. Do you hear yourself?
Yes, I do think these things are comparable, that is what I have been saying for several comments now

So the sino-indian war was in 62, but they’ve been salami slicing in indian aksai chin the past decade, and this is acknowledged by outside observers.
China isn’t just brutal to its own people.
So nothing in the past decades, like I said. This isn’t even remotely comparable to what Israel is doing.
They literally said China and India have been going at it in the past decade. Which they have. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–2021_China–India_skirmishes
I wouldn’t call people pushing each other a violent attack. It became bad not because they killed each other but because they were pushing each other on the top of a mountain.
Are you actually arguing that the deaths were all caused by people accidentally being pushed off a mountain? Really?
Seems like youre the one led by the nose by your fee fees
So please tell me what country has China violently attacked in the last few decades to:
Just once.
Country? The example was that china also willingly abuses and kills minority groups it has power over when convenient.
Do you need to be reminded of the many different minority groups china played “israeli genocide” with? Just because palestine is technically still a government doesnt change how israel, and the rest of the planet, treat them as a functional subdivision of israel.
Get your head on straight bud
Actually, the post above mentions those people were sent to camps and not killed. In fact, there’s still no evidence of any deaths, just conjecture. The UN even visited and stated that while they don’t believe there is killing happening that it still constitutes as human rights violations. So no, China hasn’t
Personally, I believe the UN over conspiracy theorists like yourself.
The UN visited and said china’s actions were crimes against humanity but pulled back from using the word genocide out of caution. That is not the same as saying they “they don’t believe there is killing happening”.

Also the only reason China hasn’t had a deeper probe into the situation is it keeps getting downvoted at the UN Human Rights Council, guess who is voting against it? Qatar, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan citing the risk of “alienating China”.

Pretty sure I alluded to multiple suppressions of minority rights, so Im not sure how the UN checked multiple time periods within a single visit, but woe to a lowly conspiracy theorist like me to question your claims of UN time travel.
Hey, just to double check. You wanna keep defending china with shit like “it was only multiple human rights violations”? Or did you want to start acting like a human being again?
Re read the original post.
How high are you right meow?

Ah ad hominem, as expected.
You act like i have any respect for Tankies or care for what you think.
You guys are even worse than us Americans, at least some of us fight back against the atrocities we commit.
You guys refuse to believe that your side has done horrible things too.
You’ll feel better when you admit that, then you won’t feel the need to defend every choice your leaders make.
You are the world’s biggest hypocrites, other than maybe the Israelis with their whole evacuation convoy bombing.
You and Israel would probably get along great, what with the unbridled hatred of minorities.
I fully admitted multiple times in this conversation alone that china has done bad things. So now I know you don’t know how to read.
Some people don’t deserve to be given a voice based on their political beliefs.
That’s both one of the stupidest and dangerous things I’ve seen someone say. In my opinion, you qualified yourself for your own comment.
Then it seems we have achieved a paradox…
I just believe that there needs to be a ruling class of people to guide us simpletons since we’re too stupid to be trusted with a slight grip of power.
Yeah particularly those like yourself that wants to silence people. Absolutely should get no say.
Thank you for dunking on all these ignorant western chauvinists in this thread.
It’s been 44 years since their war with Vietnam. It’s been 11 since they were involved in Mali as part of a multi-state force.
So decades and they defended a compound. Yeah?
Much more recently than the 70 years you claim though.
No it’s not. I said 70 years since they attacked. What you’re talking about is China’s slow retreat out of Vietnam. That would be like arguing that USA invaded Afghanistan last year.
They’ve managed to be very belligerent in spite of that. They’ve flown incredibly close to US jets and veered away barely in time, and they do the same with all sorts of ships in the South China Sea – which they claim as their own to an extent that would be equivalent to the US claiming the entire Gulf of Mexico. They’ve destroyed fishing ships and left fishermen stranded too.
China is not a model of peace to follow. It is a model for nascent global powers however in how to exercise and test out influence for acts without impunity.
They raped and tortured them form what I understand.
There’s also the issue of the potential mass organ harvesting from people in China’s “Reeducation Camps”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China
Yes, I remember when I learned about it, I was shook to the core… The harvesting of organs was cherry on top, absolute horror…
Same thing everywhere, dehumanise a people and they’re just chicken in cages. God knows we’ve been far down that route
It’s apparent some believe silent torture is more civilised than bombs.
They are both horrifying forms of genocide.
If I were getting tortured and organ harvested I’d rather get bombed.
