Shit officially puts Russia and US in a tie for biggest shitholes.
God its like they understand what they’re doing.
Israel’s highest imports come from China, and exports to the U.S.
If China wanted Israel to stop what they were doing, they would have said stop or we’ll stop allowing sales to Israel, and Israel would have sit and stayed, or gone under.
Definitely a move in a good direction in my mind though
So far China is batting a thousand this week. Earlier in the week they banned hidden car door handles for safety. Now they’re banning investment in a neo fascist society.
Maybe we should sell oil based on the yuan
They also executed some billionaires and pedophiles too. Nature is healing…
They can’t invest in the USA either?
What do you mean they can’t invest in the USA? China I believe is one of the biggest debt holders of the United States. They have considered selling off some of that debt to further weaken the dollar, which I wouldn’t blame them considering everyone is at this point.
Sorry, I was making a gallows humor joke.
The best time to ban all new investment on Israel was 1947 (this one I can excuse on the account of China not existing). The second best time was 1967. The third best time was 1973. The fourth best time was during the intifadas. The fifth best time was 2023. The sixth best time is now.
better late than never
Qilai, buyuan zuo nuli de renmen!
it’s about time. they could do more, but it’s a start.
Like banning investment in the country bankrolling and enabling israel.
Based China.
In this one instance, yes.
I just found this post after scrolling down from an article about the PRC banning those stupid retractable car door handles that Tesla started, so that’s at least two.
They also do much better than the USA at addressing homelessness and most provinces regularly raise their minimum wage tied to the cost of living. They also are the world leader in expansion of green energy and public transportation
Genuinely curious, is there something wrong with them, or are they just mad they can’t replicate it as nicely?
You mean besides being a death trap?
Mostly because flush electronic door handles aren’t as safe or reliable as non-retractable handles. They fail more often than their mechanical counterparts, especially in emergencies like crashes and fire.
Chinese EVs have a lot of friction entering new markets like EU so they can’t afford an obvious failure point that Pedon thinks he may get through with. They want to sell millions of cars and a possible scrutiny based on an arbitrary design decision is not a part they’d want in their plan. Being marked death traps, not by a model or manufacturer but as a producing country as a whole gonna hurt them a lot.
You know how normal handles are a pain to open if they ice over, because you have to pull really hard to break the ice? What if you just couldn’t open them at all because the tiny motor isn’t strong enough to give you something to grip?
So we can start car engines with the push of a remote button, we can open car windows with remotes, but doors are an issue? Are we absolutely sure we’re evolving in the right direction?
If your windows don’t open, you don’t burn to death when the stored energy equivalent of a couple hundred sticks of dynamite under you catches fire. Doors should ABSOLUTELY be obvious, direct, mechanical and reliable, and it’s INSANE we even have to have this discussion in 2026. This is Engineering 101 stuff.
And in many others.
Sure buddy…
i just hate that is such a corrupt government, that people have no rights, that there’s a credit score that says if you’re allowed to own a home, that they can execute you in the streets, that they are trying to disappear ethnic minorities, no workers rights, no freedom of speech, their media is controlled by government cronnies, but enough talking about USA, what about big scary China?
Way too many libs are gonna read the first half of your comment and unironically agree with you 🤣

i don’t have the right to leave my home or I might disappear
I’m fairly sure they’re doing this for political/strategic reasons. I’m also annoyed that it’s the most principled stance we’ve seen from a major country yet, even if the motives are a bit murky. But I was glad to read that.
Well yeah, every state action done by every country is for political/strategic reasons. I think their motives are clear: 1) Help Palestine achieve liberation through passive aid; and 2) increase China’s clout on the world stage.
You placed their motives in the opposite order
China buys a shit ton of oil from Iran, which is coming under military attack from Israel seemingly regularly --Israel also had a hand in heightening civil unrest during recent riots (though iran’s regime is also brutal in its response – Israel openly admitted its agents were operating in the area during the unrest). China’s likely getting impacted by all the recent ‘shadow fleet’ oil tanker seizures. Israel is basically tied to the United States, a country that’s clearly antagonistic towards China. China also doesn’t really care that much about human rights / the welfare of individuals/people, as evidenced by things like the Uyghur situation.
So the thought that they’re doing it to ‘help palestine achieve liberation through passive aid’ is, I think, a nonsense reason that gets trotted out for potential PR reasons, maybe. Increasing their clout, I’d say is a very minor motivator: I don’t know anyone who’d deny China is a major power.
It’s a ‘generally good’ move they’re making for the people in that region, and for human dignity in general. But the reasons for taking this step, is not for the benefit of people in that region.
Waaaaoooow
Some european or american user might be confused by the approach of the Chinese governement, but for most purposes a strong emphasis on the Chinese national culture and industry has been a pivot and a prerogative of the Chinese powers (going as back as the kingdoms) since the foundation of a central political insititution. In that regard the political and social culture of China are historically China-first. They essentially see the region as the center of the world. It’s in their name too. Trading globally is a tool for that principle too. Or do you think they wouldn’t prioritise their own area? They currently detain a third of new patents globally, for medical research alone, and it used to be next to none a few decades back.

How is the PRC “one of the most corrupt and evil countries?” That list is pretty much the collective west and their vassals.
If they were corrupt, the CIA wouldn’t be getting repeatedly caught and losing spies im China lol.

Just flabbergasted you thought that was a good point.

… yes. the USA has been doing that for hundreds of years.

China is above reproach. You should know that by now.
That’s not tankie angst. That’s a fair fucking criticism. And I’m no friend to tankies, in general.

This kind of takes are pretty racist, and you should try to examine why you feel this way. Not an attack, being genuine.
You got brainwashed

ah yes “i just see thing as they are”, i think that’s bingo!
I think viewing nations through the lens of “good” or “bad” is an infantile tendency. There are countries that work for the wealthy, and countries that work for the masses. China works for the masses, while the western nations work for the wealthy.
China is pretty evil, but it wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of my list of corrupt and evil countries. There’s plenty of evil to go around, and I’m not sure how China is supposed to be corrupt.
How is the PRC evil?

the US does that kind of shit now
now
You think they only started now???!

That’s evil, yes, and I did say China is pretty evil, but it’s not really corrupt. Corruption would be officials exploiting their positions for personal gain, and while I could be wrong this isn’t something I associate with China.
they have it of course, but so does literally every country and so has every country since time immemorial.
But yeah to my knowledge at least on a local level china is weirdly good at being democratic, even.
So, they’re telling the rest of the world to hew closer to Israel. Right?
What?
Anything the PRC / CCP does, I immediately assume we should do the opposite. Now, if the real China, ROC/Taiwan says it, I’ll take it under advisement.
Anything the PRC / CCP does, I immediately assume we should do the opposite
Stupid
Building huge quantities of high-speed rail, dramatically ramping up electrification and solar production, carrying out massive poverty eradication campaigns to lessen the rural/urban development divide, delivering over 90% government approval rates consistently? These are what you think we should do the opposite of?
Further, the idea that the nationalists that fled the mainland and slaughtered domestic resistance in Taiwan in the White Terror is the “real China,” is like saying the Statesian Confederacy is the “real USA.” This is utter dogmatism.
That’s… a bad idea. The CCP is evil, but one thing they’re not short on is good ideas.
Their level of evil tells me that any idea they could possibly have is evil. I don’t want their “good” ideas, because every idea they have is dedicated to preserving their power. Evil can neither comprehend nor create good.
If taken out of context this could mean any government that uses authoritarianism as a means of control.
Why is the CPC evil? Wanting to retain socialism and prevent the restoration of capitalism is a good thing, but you’re framing the CPC as if its a supernatural force for some metaphysical “evil.” Reality doesn’t work in terms of “good” vs. “evil” like a Marvel movie.
So that means no good ideas have ever been implemented by Western colonial/neocolonial powers then, right?
