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.

    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.

        So please tell me what country has China violently attacked in the last few decades to:

        I think if they felt the need to they would have.

        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.

            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

              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.

                    I’m not moving goal posts, you are. I’m saying there’s no evidence. You’ve confirmed there’s no evidence. And then attacked the people who are Muslim and literally visited and confirmed there’s no evidence. Because you didn’t like the way they said it.

              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.

                  Right, right, god forbid someone think the confirmed humans rights abusers might have also killed a few folks. Thats such a massive leap, from subjugation and dehumanization of an entire class of people to not only lesser living conditions and quality of life but a literal claim that they are inherently less human all the way to killing someone??!?

                  Goodness. Why would anyone think one leads to the other? Its like thinking very hot water in a metal pan over a fire would lead to boiling water. How conspiratorial.

                  Could you run me through that UN time travel bit again?

                  If you go back and read, they didn’t accuse China of anything. They only stated that if they felt the need to have bombed the peoples, they would have. But maybe you’re right that China would not have done that, so I’ll just keep looking for the wiki page for NOTHING-BAD-HAPPENED Square.

                    You know it’s funny. People keep bringing that up even though China fully admits it was a mistake and vowed to never do it again. The censorship people talk about is that China won’t disclose how many people died, not that they don’t admit it happened.

                    And then HK happened. And there are no examples of the police killing anyone. Only one rumor of a girl who committed suicide off a building people tried to attribute to the HK police. Even when they stole a police officer’s gun, or lit a janitor on fire, the HK police didn’t kill anyone.

                    But the BLM riots…

      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

      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.

          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.
