Wang Yi reminds the world of China's consistent view on Palestine.

"Both Palestinians and Israelis have the right for their own state on their own land. Security and safety of both Palenstinians and Israelis must be guaranteed."

王毅谈巴以局势：以色列人得到了生存的保障，巴勒斯坦人的生存谁来关心？​

巴勒斯坦问题始终是中东问题的核心，是当今世界不断被撕开的伤痕。这一问题的根源在于巴勒斯坦独立建国的夙愿迟迟未能实现，在于巴勒斯坦人民遭受的历史不公一直没有能够得到纠正。

以色列有建国的权利，巴勒斯坦同样有建国的权利，以色列人得到了生存的保障，巴勒斯坦人的生存谁来关心？以色列的民族已经不在世界上颠沛流离，巴勒斯坦民族何时才能重返家园？这个世界存在各种不公，而对巴勒斯坦的不公已经延宕了大半个世纪，承接了几代人的痛苦，不能再继续下去了。

Yes keep perpetuating Jewish stereotypes...

I'm hesitant to question your English proficiency because of the obvious and understandable racial connotations but that is such a non sequitur I don't have much of a choice here. Absolutely none of what I said in that message is reflective of any Jewish stereotype. It sounds like something you said because you knew it would sound clever given the context and did not otherwise understand the message enough to reply.

I do not go into Baidu with my HSK4 understanding of Chinese and talk down to native speakers about politically charged topics. That would be deeply foolish and entitled of me to do. You should exercise the same restraint with English.

I looked up "London tube knife attack" on Google it seems all Londoners are typical chinese by just standing by.

I have also seen enough new york public transport videos to tell all new Yorkers are typical Chinese just standing by.

Import duties are pointless, Doshi said, because key solar exporters such as Vietnam have free-trade agreements with India, and Chinese suppliers have reduced prices to levels that make their cargoes competitive despite the previously enforced 40% import tax.

40% price handicap yet still competitive against the best Bharat (formerly India) has to offer. Who's the one with the unfair advantage again?

Everyone on the internet thinks they are going to be heroes.

I know a big guy (200+ lbs., over 6 feet tall), and he did not hesitate to hand over his wallet when he got mugged by a gang. They still beat the crap out of him and he thought he was going to die.

I didn't even know that about Australia. And I lived here for so long. Thanks for pointing it out. Especially on the day Australia is going to vote on referendum for indigenous people voice on parliament

Beijing is under heavy security right now preparing for the largest delegation of foreign dignitaries, and Israelis create this fake stabbing in Beijing as a slap to China's face.

I guess assassinating China's ambassador wasn't enough, some countries just like living on the edge.

What was on the YouTube video? They've taken the video down. Just seeing the twitter post doesn't give me context.

Interesting read from Ray Dailo. Conflict in Ukraine and Gaza may spread. IMO, the smarter countries will practice "zero-war"... close the door and let the rest of the world burn.

Wars do have a tendency to spread.

If it does not spread, it will always escalate. That is the historical norm.

The Vietnam War was a perfect example. It started off small scale for the Americans, then they had over 600,000 troops in South Vietnam, and the draft. Then North Vietnam was bombed, along with Laos and Cambodia.

Ukraine fighting can spill over into Poland.

Israel vs the Arab world is always a latent threat.

We see what happens.

It is that expression for the Americans. When you go looking for trouble, usually you will find it.

A two front war being paid by Uncle Sam.

They should bring back President Trump. He was the only guy who dared to say, no more stupid wars!

MAGA-communism 2024!

Didn't Borrell claim EU is relative independent just a few days ago.

Basically the same stuff as the replies on the twitter video I posted, "bystander" footage of the aftermath of the crowd and police helping the injured.

If any Chinese bystander went in and helped, the director would have yelled cut and asked for a redo. Probably happened imo, see why the first video was cut multiple times.
