    China has been outspoken against the war in Ukraine since way before, but didn’t want to loose Russia as an ally, while the EU was under US influence. Now that that is changing, China has more room to act.

    Same if you look at the Iran/Russia relationship. It was mostly an alliance out of geopolitical necessity. Now that Israel is more brazen about its cooperation with Russia, probably looking towards a new Alliance of Russia, US, Israel politics in the Middle East, Iran will also change its position towards Russia.

      Any political advesery will take any opportunity, ESPECIALLY China, to make statements like this, because they can. They pretend to take the high road in order score points.

      It’s laughable that anyone can even take it at face value. I am serious when I say that Trump was elected because people are so fucking dumb, that they can’t see the emperor has no clothes.

      This is the same kind of bullshit political messaging, and it’s outrageous that you can even give China the benefit of the doubt.

      I’m not trying to say USA is good, China is bad. I’m saying China has a history of this bullshit, so now you eat it up because they are talking shit about the abomination the U.S. has become.

      FYI, saying China has been outspoken against the war is a perfect example.

      It doesn’t cost them anything to say it, meanwhile they are happily selling weapons to Russia.

      Just like US saying what is happening in Palestine is bad, while dumping armaments be on Israel.

      Talk is so cheap, so you have to look at actions and China’s actions are about as bad as they come.
