To be clear, I’m a big admirer of China on a cultural level and I do read and listen to Chinese media (though not TikTok/Douyin). I certainly don’t blame China for divisions in the Middle East and I don’t think I've ever seem that claim here. Those divisions are ancient.
Supporting Russia’s revanchist war on Ukraine has undeniably hurt the ability of many western countries, especially in Europe to trust Chinese controlled social media or infrastructure, though.
- aurareturn 2y ago>Supporting Russia’s revanchist war on Ukraine has undeniably hurt the ability of many western countries I don't think China "supports" Russia's war efforts like how the US is sending billions and weapons to Ukraine. They're buying cheap oil (just like India) and ignoring the call for sanctions on Russia from the same entities that have sanctioned China. Why should China follow those sanctions? It makes no sense for China. After all, it's the G7 that has excluded China, India, and other BRICS members. It's G7 that has set out to slow China's growth and their rise in high value exports such as tech. So why should China then follow G7 sanctions? Some perspective is needed. Blame should be put solely on the entities who started the war.
- aguaviva 2y agoWhy should China follow those sanctions? It makes no sense for China. You know -- concern for human life, human rights, rule of law, that sort of thing.
- meiraleal 2y agoAre you being serious? In that case they should sanction Israel and the US.
- aguaviva 2y agoWhy wouldn't I be? I'd be happy to see both those of countries sanctioned in appropriate measure for what they've done.
- aurareturn 2y agoDid anyone sanction the US for Afghanistan? I’m not taking one side for another. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy.
- aguaviva 2y agoThat is in effect taking a side.
