Broken clock.....and all that

Russia, Iran and China are regularly correct when they’re criticising the West tbh. It’s an easy way to score points that can’t really be countered.

[–] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In this case, 'the West' has been calling for a two state solution since the 1940's...

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Though their actions haven’t ever actually supported it. If the US and EU had sanctioned Israel, for example after the land grab of 1967, they could have forced a state on 1967 borders, if not 1948 borders. But instead they’ve just been giving them weapons and cash that has fueled the genocide instead.

It's not like China's has done anything more than public statements either though. China is one of Israel's biggest trading partners after all.

China is sending aid to Gaza, is pressuring regional partners to stop infighting, and Chinese weapons are "accidentally" ending up in Palestinian hands. Chinese shipping is blatantly showcasing the viability of Yemen's sanctions by restricting shipments to Israel in exchange for transiting the Red Sea (putting the ships at risk of getting caught in a US/UK strike). China, in general, has a policy off no-military-intervention outside of it's immediate vicinity and hasn't fired ammunition at an enemy since the fall of the Soviiet Union, and hasn't fought at scale since 1979. China does not express its power with "who has a bigger stick."

Are we also forgetting that China mediated the Iran-KSA rapprochement, which had direct implications on the Israel-KSA relationship?

People who say "rare China W" you can tell they get all their news from "lets all buy NFTs and do whatever the rich want us to do" publications.

China has been hitting W after W after W after W with no signs of stopping. So many Ws you have to actively try not to see at least one.

now do Taiwan

Ah yes, peacefully pushing for reunifcation of a province (that's already highly independent mind you) over a course of multiple decades.

Totally the same urgency as settler colonialism and genocide.

You imperialist, sinophobic liberals are embarassing. You just want your computer chips and US supremacy. Never mind the horrid factory conditions in Foxconn, a Taiwanese company btw.

We saw what you did to Ukraine, it will not happen to Taiwan as well, they deserve better than a proxy war with their countrymen.

“One Taiwanese factory has bad working conditions. Clearly their government must be overthrown and replaced by the CCP, who are known for their excellent factory working conditions.”

You are being reunified. Please do not resist.

A foreign policy matter that China and I agree on? What a timeline

Unless the policy is on foreign countries they think they own.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 months ago

This is the People's Republic of China. Their disputed territorial claims amount to a few villages claimed by India and a few small islands claimed by Japan and Vietnam. All three countries have much bigger territorial disputes with other countries. You're thinking of The Republic of China, who claims whole countries and very large swaths of land. The Republic of China doesn't have a seat in the UN because they don't have majority support. (1.4% vs 98.6% for PRC).

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They do own. Just because one side reneged on the agreement when it was their turn to pay doesn't make their ownership any less valid. So many of you are "lets just let the US do whatever the fuck they want, even if it breaks every law and treaty in the process" and it shows.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah this specific universe timeline is getting weirder by the second.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Should urge the UN to support a single state solution and Palestine's full membership instead.

It's pretty simple math. They get to look like the good guys. Pretty important when they've got all sorts of investments in Africa and the Middle East.

[–] randomname01@feddit.nl 18 points 10 months ago

And for a lot of those countries, China is easily the lesser of two evils. Says more about us in the West than about them though.

Easy for China to say, means very little as they are not relevant to the conflict, not even indirectly that I know of. Political posturing more like.
