In Cairo, China’s foreign minister and his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukri urged an immediate end ‘to all acts of violence, killing and targeting of civilians and civilian establishments’.
I’d love to be proven wrong but we all work with the information we receive. I wasn’t there and I doubt you were too. China is trying to build good will in the Middle East so they can then build sub par infrastructure and laden poor countries with debt they can’t repay. The second motive is to use the Middle East as a pawn in its subtle struggle against the US. The third is a tale as old as time, oil. China needs lots of oil since they can’t produce enough. I don’t believe many human systems (ie government) act altruistically in this world.

I would put the Chinese in first, westerners second. Chinese get their doors bolted shut by the government or disappeared for disobedience.
This isn’t true. Do you think the OIC is afraid of China but not the US or Israel? Why?
You must have missed when China brokered peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Something the US was opposed to.

Westerners projecting their dreams and desires is always so cringe.
