Chinese authorities are urging Israel to immediately halt its military operation in the Gaza Strip to prevent the aggravation of an already severe humanitarian crisis, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian stated.

“We insist that Israel follow the resolute calls of the international community and immediately stop its military operation in Gaza, achieving a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire as soon as possible to avoid an even more serious humanitarian crisis,” he emphasized during a briefing.

The Chinese diplomat clarified that Beijing hopes all relevant parties will prioritize the task of maintaining peace and stability in the region and “play a constructive role in reducing tensions.” “China firmly opposes the escalation surrounding Israel’s military operation in Gaza. We condemn all actions that harm civilians and violate international law, express serious concern over the growing tensions, and oppose any party provoking the conflict,” he concluded.

      The USSR would have been shipping the Palestinians weapons by now.

      I miss the USSR so fucking much and it died before I was born. I hope all of Africa unites under Communism.

        Israhell did the nakba with the aid of Czechoslovakian (and therefore) russian communists. They were far from perfect in that regard. And just like the PRC the Soviet Union threw other communists under the bus in the name of geopolitical considerations.

          I know the USSR was far from perfect. However, it had the excuse of being newly comprised of a large land mass united under something that had never been tried before. It did far more to liberate countries from under the boot of imperialism.

          Burkina Faso isn’t perfect but they have done a hell of a lot right. Which should set the country on track to improve in any lacking aspects in their more stable future. Look what happened in Cuba.
