China accused NATO on Thursday of seeking security at the expense of others and told the alliance not to bring the same “chaos” to Asia, a reflection of its determination to oppose strengthening ties between NATO members and Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.
The statement by a Foreign Ministry spokesperson came a day after NATO labeled China a “decisive enabler” of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“NATO hyping up China’s responsibility on the Ukraine issue is unreasonable and has sinister motives,” spokesperson Lin Jian said at a daily briefing. He maintained that China has a fair and objective stance on the Ukraine issue.
China has broken with the United States and its European allies over the war in Ukraine, refusing to condemn Russia’s invasion or even to refer to it as an act of aggression in deference to Moscow. Its trade with Russia has grown since the invasion, at least partially offsetting the impact of Western sanctions.
NATO members give Israel weapons to conduct a genocide therefore it’s okay if China is complicit in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine where they are conducting a genocide.
I see. Genocide is fine as long as two genocides cancel each other out.
I can’t work out your tone from this text. Are you suggesting I’m saying it’s okay that either of these things happening?
I’d say that if NATO are willing to point out China funding Russia, they should also be capable of the self reflection to admit their own faults too.
I get that this wouldn’t work politically though. It’s just really frustrating to see such an obvious scream at a mirror.
Sorry, I’m just so used to the frequent whataboutism. I understand what you’re saying now.
No worries. I can see how it’d be interpreted like that. Especially given the amount of what aboutism we see in the comments.
I also struggle with Lemmy comments as I’m usually writing here tired in my ‘downtime’ between other responsibilities. You guys get the worst of me! Haha
Which of these genocides did you hear about on TikTok, which has it’s algorithms dictated by the Chinese government?
I haven’t been a teenager since the 1990s, so I’ve never used TikTok. I think you can figure out the answer to your question from there.
You’re not a teenager and you still think spewing nonsense emotions at strangers accomplishes something?
Jesus.
I’m not sure what “nonsense emotions” are, but it’s kind of weird that you ask me about hearing about genocides on TikTok and I tell you I’ve never used TikTok, you act like you never said that and just move on to something else.
Let’s go back to you asking me which of the genocides I heard about on TikTok. Was your question answered in a satisfactory manner with my explanation that I’ve never used TikTok? If so, the proper reaction would be to say thank you.
