Wang Yi cautioned against a return to the ‘law of the jungle’ but stopped short of criticising Trump directly
War in the Middle East “should never have happened”, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi has declared, even as he struck a more conciliatory tone with the US ahead of a highly anticipated visit by Donald Trump.
Regime change, a key stated aim of the US president as the US and Israel continue to attack Iran, “will find no popular support”, Wang said on Sunday. “A strong fist does not mean strong reason. The world cannot return to the law of the jungle,” he added.
Speaking on the sidelines of China’s annual parliamentary and political gatherings, known as the Two Sessions, the country’s top diplomat and foreign affairs official notably avoided directly criticising the US.
The world cannot return to the law of the jungle,” he added.
If only he had said that to Putin too, when Russia invaded Ukraine and started a full scale war.
Time for Europe to hold him to this announcement.China did denounce the war in Ukraine.
As I recall it, that was a bit ambiguous.
Iirc they said that diplomatic measures should’ve been employed instead.
All in all, it didn’t matter then and doesn’t now, because they just keep this ‘neutral’ thing going and denounce this and that. The actual trade policy and such work by a completely different logic. They aren’t gonna boycott the US or sever trade with them, just as they haven’t with Russia.
Iirc they said that diplomatic measures should’ve been employed instead.
Which is total bullshit, what diplomatic measureless were necessary or even possible? When Ukraine was absolutely peaceful, and Putin was promised that Ukraine wouldn’t become a NATO member? And Putin attacked Ukraine with an argument of denazification, which is insane since Ukraine is a democracy, and their leader is Jewish! Of the 2 Russia is clearly the very Nazi like totalitarian regime.
That statement by China was for appearances only, it was hollow and completely lacked any criticism of Putin or Russia or the war crimes Russia is committing.
Which is why I don’t remember China speaking against the war in any real way.
China has to speak from both sides of the mouth. Iran is a client and source of its oil. US is a client and source of its $1 trillion dollar trade surplus. China needs both of them.
Great. I agree.
What does China think of what’s been going on in Ukraine for the last four years?
History on the side of China.
So does I
America should have never elected a felon pedophile.
Based china. Crazy timeline we live in where china is the voice of reason.
Theyre just taking advantage of a golden opportunity for PR.
I don’t believe its honest, given what goes on inside their own borders.
Although to be honest, do you know any government that is honest? It’s all PR.
Agreed! Given the opportunity they WILL invade Taiwan.
Just about everything that tRUMP is even remotely connected to almost definitely shouldn’t have happened.
China has the power to end the war with ultimatums against US navy, if not Tel Aviv. Tolerating an illegal war “that should have never happened” is weakness or opportunism. US may be too depleted to prevent China focused annexations, and they may get reconstruction/development contracts with Iran.
The pure demonism of Israel to only want destruction of country, and perpetual assassinations of every leader is something that deserves a nuclear ultimatum for immediate ceasefire, and if not for IDF/people to exterminate their own rulership within a short number of days. The pretense of US strength is oppressive, and must be disillusioned instead of the “do nothing and win” slow advantage accumulation of China.
We absolutely do NOT want to escalate it to a nuclear war, are you insane?
Israel would take the safe bet of ceasing their illegal war, or IDF/citizens could choose the extermination of their demonic rabid rulers. Perhaps Israelis devotion to genocide is not phased by the prospects of losing the game they initiated. US forces also get the freedom to leave, but sinking navies is allowed, and nuclear is just quick and easy. Nuclear weapons promised peace over demonic BS. If no one ever threatens world peace, then demonic crackheads will never stop.
Other than the very convenient fighting between Pakistan and Afghanistan leading up to Iran war, would you prefer Chinese/Pakistan Air force operations to shoot down axis bombing jets? Blow up Gulf bases, and assassinate the pig fuckers that oppress their people and let US bases operate? Perhaps you just want to protect the pig fuckers with more time for destruction, or not allow other countries/people side against them?
For those with the power to stop wrong, saying something’s wrong (as in Venezuela/Cuba/Caribbean fishing boat bombings) and not doing anything about it, hasn’t stopped a bigger wrong the following week, because even when they say it is unacceptable, doing nothing is defacto acceptable.
Wow you are doubling down on nuclear war! You really are insane. 🤮
You’re the one doubling down on permission for axis of demonism to be unopposed. I also provided options to draw out the war such that more innocent non-Israelis die and suffer. It’s the threat of justice that makes people law abiding and civilized.
In my view, it is your defacto full throated support for demomic evil to reign unopposed that is insane.
to be unopposed.
I absolutely have NEVER argued that it should be unopposed, what a giant straw man!
You seem delusional.
It never would have happened if Trump were… Oh… Nevermind.
