Unfortunately, the Yellow Peril is alive and well.
Misinformation and bias is everywhere.
Whatever China did, it's magnitudes better than spending trillions to bomb 3rd world countries back to stone age.

Sinologists who speak less Chinese than my 2 year old kid? Is that what it takes to be a sinologist these days?
You want to talk about hypocrisy. How about those XJ terrorists that had butchered women and children were called freedom fighters in the West. Didn't Israel send MP delegates to Taiwan to promote tie and condemn China of Xinjiang as genocide that are truly hypocrisy. With friends like these, who needs enemies.
Antisemitism seems to be the Code word for anyone expresses anything against Israel. China doesn't have historical baggage and owe nothing to the Jews just as Chinese foreign spokesperson has said. We can freely express what we consider injustice without fearing for labeling as antisemitism because holocaust and pogrom happened in EU not China.
Russian invasion of Ukraine isn't just. However, the difference of opinion is more to the fact that the NATO eastward expansion and color revolution are just as responsible for this mess than just put all faults at Russia.
The indifference is more to the fact that the Western powers have done so many crimes against other countries from Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Panama. Regimes change in Indonesia, Iran, Chile, and Argentina.
Many Chinese and global south have the thinking that if one's day what would happen if they are the ones that got in the crosshairs of the Western powers. Just as the US and the West are actively provoking China from XJ, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan and SCS, China sooner or later would force to fight back. All other global south nations can see how Russian state and civilian assets got confiscated, bank accounts were frozen, trades sanctioned and after the double standard in Israel, you think they would ever believe the West.
Israel has occupied Gaza and West bank for 70 years. Israel has never stopped killing Palestinians. Israel is still at wars with Palestinians. Israel has refused two state solution and didn't plan to treat Palestinians as citizens. Gaza strip is an open air prison for over 2 millions people. Your indiscriminate bombing of Gaza Strip would soon kill more Palestinians within a few weeks than what Russians have done within almost 2 years.
All deaths from civilians are tragic and should be avoided and condemned. However, you aren't going to get too much sympathy because of what Israel has done over last 70 years and what Israel is doing right now and would soon do next.
Undeniably, people have bias. Israel can retaliate and has the right to do so. But don't expect people to sugarcoat what is happening and would be happening. It is ethnic cleansing no matter how you look at this. And the global south won't look kindly of this double standard displaying by the West and Israel.

Love all the headlines from the Western news media saying this war upends China's plans...
If so then why are they trying to pressure China to work for Western interests? They should be for this war since it damages China's interests far more than US interests. If it escalates, all it does is push the Middle East more towards China like never before. Before, China wasn't seen as the alternative to the US and the West. And remember this fundamental fact... They've been pushing China away just because China hasn't bent the knee to them. They want to punish China because Russia invaded Ukraine. They can't cry China invaded Ukraine. All their worries about losing influence to China wouldn't be happening if they didn't go out of their way seeing China as their enemy and all because they're having difficulty competing economically with China. What are they going to do to China? Ban advanced semiconductors to China? See they already used that leverage up on something so petty and what's more embarrassing for them is that it didn't work.
I find it impossible to read the Western press these days. It didn't used to be that way years ago, and I don't think it's entirely because I've lost patience. They've become increasingly unhinged and delusional. This must have been what it was like to read Pravda in the last days of the Soviet Union.
