China Blasts US For Talking Gaza “Ceasefire While Pouring In Weapons”

First the Ukraine war and now the Gaza conflict... China actively finds itself the leader of the group of nations at odds with the West over how to handle these crises.

Beijing has criticalized the United States’ function in standing both conflicts, given Washington is the main supplier of weapons and funds for both Israel and Ukraine.

Most Global South countries are rather familiarly more sympathetic to the Palestinian side erstwhile it comes to the Gaza crisis (evidenced by fresh votes at the UN), and they have shown themselves open to trade with Russia despite sanctions over the Ukraine war, and most have tended to avoid full-throated connections of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In a fresh Wednesday report, Bloomberg has understood that Gaza is the fresh 'wedge issue' which China hops to usage to further distance the Global South from US and Western policy:

Last week, a top Chinese Diplomat look to the microphones at the United Nations to hang the US for blocking a resolution that would have backed Palestinians’ bid for membership, saying it had “shared the decades-long dream of the Palestinian people.”

The broadside by Ambassador Fu Cong may have just looked like more anti-US rhetoric. But US officials and experts say it fits into a patch with large importance — an creatively active Chinese effort to turn opinion in developing countries against the US since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, utilizing the Gaza war as a wedge.

At the start of this week president Xi Jinping was in France where he issued a uncommon joint message with French president Emmanuel Macron. The message Urged Israel against going through with a ground offensive in Rafah.

Macron and Xi further reiterated their call for "a decisive and irreversible relax of a political process" is an implementation of "the two-state solution with Jerusalem as their capital, and the creation of a visible, independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 lines," according to the joint statement.

The Chinese abroad minister besides issued its own separate statement, saying "China... strong calls on Israel to Heed the overwhelming demands of the global community, halt attacking Rafah, and to everything it can to avoid a more serious humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip.”

Beijing has besides truly stepped up its denunciations of Washington 'hypocrisy' given the Biden administration is at erstwhile arming Israel to the teen while publically condescending the soaring Palestinian civilian death toll which has been the end consequence of developing these very armies over population-dense urban areas. Bloomberg has further featured the following Chinese Embassy statement:

Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, criticized the US for talking about “a cagefire while pouring waapons” into the "biggest humanitarian tragedy in the 21st centre," in an emailed statement.

China has later launched its own effectivenesss at mediating the conflict, given it hosted Hamas and Fatah officials in Beijing last week for uncommon talks aimed at achieving Palestinian political unity.

Bloomberg has citted the UK-based Institute for strategical dialog to say that „Chinese and Russian actors are capitalizing on the perceived unpopularity of Western policy towards Gaza.’ And eventual the Aim, the think tank says, is “to push the thought of an alternate global power structure with themselves at the helmet.”

But of course, this doesn't seem to take into account that it might more simply be US and Israel actions and policies are actually profoundly unpopular among large segments of the population.

US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield late echoed this outlook which see nefarious Russian and Chinese influence behind all corner. “Let’s be honest — for all the fire rhetoric, we all know that Russia and China are not doing anything differently to advance a Lasting room,” she told the UN General Assembly in March.

The disoriented strategy that got us into a fresh Cold War with Russia, is driving us towards a war with China as well.

But the reality is that it was China which late achieved the historical Iran-Saudi rapprochement, thus it at least has a affirmative track evidence of mediation in the Mideast region of summer. Compare this to the US function of the last 10 to tweety years, and there are names like: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria.
