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.

    The UN visited and said china’s actions were crimes against humanity but pulled back from using the word genocide out of caution. That is not the same as saying they “they don’t believe there is killing happening”.

    Also the only reason China hasn’t had a deeper probe into the situation is it keeps getting downvoted at the UN Human Rights Council, guess who is voting against it? Qatar, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan citing the risk of “alienating China”.

      Ah yes, the Muslims who visited XinJiang and said they are OK with what China is doing. That’s why it keeps getting downvoted. But China oppresses Muslims, how confusing. How does the hypocrisy line up in your head with no issues is beyond me.

          I’m not moving goal posts, you are. I’m saying there’s no evidence. You’ve confirmed there’s no evidence. And then attacked the people who are Muslim and literally visited and confirmed there’s no evidence. Because you didn’t like the way they said it.

            How am I moving goal posts? I posted info and asked a question. I’m not sure you are arguing in good faith.

              No you posted proof there’s no evidence and then stated that it must be happening anyway because you don’t believe the Muslims who said it isn’t happening and downvote it. In fact, besides that statement, what is your question? You are not arguing in good faith.

                  Says the person who makes a statement with no question. Right, I’m the one not arguing in good faith.
