China uses firehoses and flares and it is accused of "dangerous and aggressive behaviour".
Israel literally blows up thousands of people and it's just whatever.
Nobody with any actual power over China is accusing them or incurring consequences to China over said supposed "dangerous and aggressive behavior".
While Israel is at least losing soldier and settler lives on a daily basis for it.
Not comparable situations.
Western media isn't reporting it but IOF is conducting airstrikes daily in Lebanon. Telegram channels are full of it.
On the contrary, Taliban said they are neither associated with AQ/OBL nor know of his whereabouts and are willing to cooperate if there is evidence of his presence in Afghanistan (which was never provided). US refused to cooperate, and Pakistan bandwagoned behind them getting nothing out of it except misery.
This idea of India entering a hostile pre-war Afghanistan is senseless. Pakistan should've been and probably was aware that the invasion of Afghanistan was related to Enron and Unocal's dealings with India, in which an American occupation of Afghanistan would inevitably bring India into it. Supporting US on this endeavor was the strategic mistake made by Pakistan, a huge strategic blunder, the effects of which are still biting into Pakistan daily.
Reports and images coming out show a lot of civilian casualties. Western media is the one spinning it as targeting Hezbollah only, of which there isn't credible evidence. They don't want to call it a terrorist attack on civilians.
You're perpetuating Israeli nonsense. Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait all host considerable numbers of Palestinian refugees. Even countries as far as Algeria and Yemen. Most Palestinian refugees today, the vast majority of them live in Arab countries.
I know why you use quatation marks around Palestinian. I partially agree. Palestine was a name of the region that covers today's Israel. It was also the name of administration unit under various states up to 1945. It is a name given by the Roman empire. Therefor, it is reasonable to not to use it to identify an ethnic entity. The population in the region is predominantly Arab speakers of various faith and some decedents of Greeks and Jewish. So for this reason, I am willing to use words like "Palestinian Arabs", leaving the room for "Palestinian Jewish" for Israeli citizens in the state of Israel.
Now to your point. Morden day Israel was found based on the UN resolution in 1945. Israel's border is determined by that resolution. Israel setting foot any centimeter beyond that line is considered to be aggression and occupation in the eyes of people who uphold the rule of law. So why shouldn't Chinese poster compare China with Plestinian Arabs? It is exactly the same situation between China in WW2 and Palestine today. Countries being occupied by foreign power, people being murdered by occupation forces.
You don't want Chinese or anybody in the world to link Palestinian Arabs plight with historical tragedy, but you are in no position to demand such wish. On the contrary, everything you (and/or the Israeli state) are doing on daily bases to the Palestinian Arabs only enhance the empathy of everybody with a heart and brain towards Palestinian Arabs.

I wonder what it will take to reverse the yuan carry trade.
Should we call you English because you are speaking English? Palestinians are predominantly non-Arab, as are Jordanians and Lebanese. 'Descendant of Jewish' is non-sequitur, moot. If a descendant of a Jew converts to Islam and adopts the Arabic language, does he cease to be a Jewish descendant?
Israeli citizens aren't Palestinian Jewish. They are Jewish of Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Iraq, Yemen, Ethiopia, Morocco.. of everywhere except Palestine - they make this clear themselves, referring to themselves as Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, etc. Jews were forbidden permanent residence in the Holy Lands by Islamic rulers, a law inherited from the Byzantines who inherited it from their Roman polity who adopted it c.70 AD.
The name Palestine is derived from a period much older than Romans. The earliest mention of it is as Pulasati by ancient Egyptians c.1150 BC. Whereas Israel and Judah (the latter for Jew) are later inventions.
He put Palestinian in quotations because this is a common Zionist trope invented by Golda Meir in the 1970's which seeks to doctor history by erasing any reference to Palestine. Another related common Zionist invention is: Israel was there first. ..which is totally false because the Pulasit were there first and long before them, the Assyrians, Babylonians, Hyksos, and Kemetians (ancient Egyptians).
Focusing on that one instruction video
The USB charger is in a badge brand () that's based in Germany, and somewhat prevalent as a generic in Europe. Amazon reviews suggest the customer base is mostly German, with some French, Italian, Spanish and Greeks.
This would be inline with the hypothesis that the assembly of these devices are done in Europe, perhaps Germany? Maybe Europeans can chime in here: If i were a small electronics assembly operation where would i be based?
