Why do so many Chinese side with Palestine. Is it because they see Israel as part of western bloc which is at odds with China???
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and other Related Conflicts in the Middle East (read the rules in the first post)
- Thread starter phrozenflame
- Start date
- Israel sold weapon to Taiwan, for one. That obviously touch Chinese red line.
- Israeli zionist behaves like Imperial Japanese Army, that also hit pretty close to home.
- Chinese feel personally responsible for the zionist crimes, because Chinese are the one saved Jews in WWII.
- Zionists are universally hated around world, China has no reason to be exception.
Because they know what it was like to be subjugated (in Chinas case, by the japs in ww2) and also they sympathize with a movement that is defending itself from foreign invaders (which is what Israel is in all honesty with the whole forcing its way into Palastine In 1948 with the help of those Americans and British. Also because they can easily see the US being a force of evil in The region and how the US is pushing against China with regards to Taiwan (which is seriously none of the bloody businesses and really should learn to GTFO of there) I mean defending an obvious genocide and endless prison rape, most people would fight against it, unless you happened to be part of the US congress which are evil and deserve to burn in hell for weigh the lives of others in dollar bills from AIPAC.
It’s implied or explicitly stated here all the time.
As you said the houthis have impacted commercial shipping. But that impact is limited and has not greatly affected consumer shopping or prices in Europe or U.S. That could change if Houthis receive Russian anti-ship missiles or if U.S. steps up its deployment/scope of attack.
And the Houthis should worry about internal governance rather than trying to score points against the U.S.

1) I ended up with about 10K aimpoints for Taiwan, outlined in the Taiwan thread. So call it a ballpark 40K aimpoints for Iran, given 4x the population.
2) If the US uses all those missiles for Iran, what is left to deter China?
3) For most of those bases, the US using them to attack Iran is completely unrealistic from a political perspective
Will China support Iran if the US decides to invade Iran??
I believe they should because Iran falling into the hands of western elites would be a catastrophic geopolitical loss.

Wasn't it already explained to you many times that sufficient support would be for Iran to prolong and likely ultimately prevail using its own manpower? That is to say, support with targeting, weapons and MIC, but no official PLA clearing the skies from Americans or Chinese flagged ships firing missiles for Iran.
US is also not in a position to invade Iran, they would need to invade Lebanon first. That's going to be a huge ground war meat grinder.

Politically, Israel is a key US outpost in the Middle East, and the US is China's greatest threat currently.
Individually, the memory of Japanese atrocities are still fresh in the minds of the Chinese people (and may it ever remain so!), and Israel's actions in Gaza reminds us of those atrocities. In addition, Hamas' resistance against an overwhelmingly more powerful adversary reminds the Chinese people of our own struggle against the Japanese invaders.
With all this US posturing, it seems that this would be ideal time for China to stage some military exercises, lest the US has forgotten that China exists.
If US wants to divert military resources to Middle East, that's all good and fine, just don't be surprised if China capitalises on your weakness.
That would be a good enough way to severy constrain US forces from being used to deal with Iran
