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.

    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

        Right right, killing thousands is comparable to circumstantial evidence. Do you hear yourself?

          killing thousands is comparable to circumstantial evidence of thousands of killings that there would be more direct evidence of if China didn’t have such a good environment for destroying that evidence

          Yes, I do think these things are comparable, that is what I have been saying for several comments now

            Ok well there’s circumstantial evidence someone in your neighborhood killed someone. Why aren’t you stopping the genocide in your backyard.

              Because I’m not a government, I pay taxes for other people to deal with things like that. Also, if it was someone who I had a motive to have killed and I was the last one seen talking to them my neighbors probably would be a lot less trusting of me even if the cops couldn’t ever find their body and whatnot.
