Snip:
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 “Bernie Sanders” of CCP political statements
Or else what?
OR ELSE WHAT HUH???
If you can’t answer that question then your “demands” aren’t serious, and neither are your concerns.
The MFA’s final warnings and condemnations are a joke even on Chinese social media. They hand out strong condemnations and final warnings like candy whenever the US sails down the Taiwan Strait.
I truly believe these public diplomatic pressers are completely worthless in terms of having any informative value whatsoever, in any country. It’s literally the job of these spokespeople to say platitudes and make vague statements that don’t really mean anything and carry no real weight behind them. Any time a journalist stupidly tries to get an actual statement it just results in the two sides running in circles and getting nowhere until the spokesperson finally gives an answer that is just the original statement rephrased. All of this could just be a few bullet points on a website. I honestly can’t recall the last time a journalist elicited any meaningful statement at a press briefing. These entire job of a MFA spokesperson is to stick to the script, the response to any question is to redirect back to it and restate it. This Q&A shit is a tiring exercise in pointlessness.
Or else they’ll send out a final warning.
More toothless than threatening to boycott Eurovision.
Like, I wasn’t expecting China to support Palestinians materially, but I was hoping they’d sanction Israel at least or even threaten to do it. Even the fucking EU are doing it.
Their reply to Netanyahu accusing China of waging an information war on them is more ‘Israel needs to act wisely diplomatically’ bollocks. They can commit a genocide and the only thing China seems worried about is the economic impact.
Or else we’ll send another strongly-worded letter!
Even worse then the first one!
no more half measures walter
feels like these two are in a race to see who gets to the finish line last
As mediocre as China’s statement is, at least they didn’t start it by insisting that Palestinians brought it on themselves by resisting their own occupation.
Sure fucking sucks the best you can hope for are slight changes to the rhetoric while you’ve been watching children murdered every day on your phone for two years straight.
The USSR was too good for this world
this is unfortunately pretty toothless without threatening to actually withdraw material investment and support from the zionist entity
A Chinese company owns one of their largest grocery stores, all talk!
Maybe you should do something
Build aircraft carriers, send letters, classic
I’m sure this warning will get em! Any second now.
or else what

ActsThe 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.
BARK, BARK, BARK!
as in, worse than their bite? or is there a dog whistle somewhere?
as in, ALL BARK, no bite
Not sure if I’d call this “demands”
Crossing my fingers hoping for an escalation in rhetoric in the near future.
Monkey’s paw: There’s an escalation in rhetoric… but that’s it.
