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.

      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.

          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?

                  killing thousands is comparable to circumstantial evidence of thousands of killings that there would be more direct evidence of if China didn’t have such a good environment for destroying that evidence

                  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.

              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.

                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

                Do you need to be reminded of the many different minority groups china played “israeli genocide” with?

                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”.

                  wikipedia/Uyghur Genocide

                  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”.

                    Ah yes, the Muslims who visited XinJiang and said they are OK with what China is doing. That’s why it keeps getting downvoted. But China oppresses Muslims, how confusing. How does the hypocrisy line up in your head with no issues is beyond me.

                  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?

                    I’m tired of morons accusing China of killing people, particularly like how Israel is doing to Palestine. There’s no evidence anywhere and it’s becoming idiotic to even try to compare what’s happening in Gaza with anything China has done in the last few decades.

              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.

                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.

        It’s apparent some believe silent torture is more civilised than bombs.

        They are both horrifying forms of genocide.
