Laurent is is right when he says
@angeloinchina is spot on!
Apparently, China gets portrayed as an existential threat every morning, then as the world’s unpaid emergency-services department by lunch 🤡
Meanwhile you're barking up the wrong supply chain 🔍
Israel's arsenal: 68% made in USA, 31% Germany — plus 2,596 arms shipments from Modi's India since Oct 2023. Amnesty found Indian shell casings in Gaza's rubble!
China's share: 0%. It even banned dual-use mineral exports to US military users. Still banned!
China recognized Palestine in 1988, votes for every ceasefire resolution, renders every diplomatic and humanitarian support it can and bans dual-use exports to the US war machine. What it doesn't do is send aircraft carriers — cos that's the other guys' idea of diplomacy!
So what are you or your Govt doing to stop that Geno*ide?
Besides, China owes you nothing!
When China was dirt poor, being attacked, invaded, carved up, tens of millions killed where were you? Oops - Italy was actually part of it!
The whole of China's periphery is now being systematically militarized in preparation for a full blown war by the West against China - are you or your Govt protesting against it?
Your Govt spent decades lecturing Beijing, containing it, sanctioning it, supporting the militarization of our neighborhood and calling every infrastructure project a “debt trap” — but now China must arrive as Superman with the cheque book and military muscle?
Besides did you ever do the math on how often Global South partners betrayed China?
Argentina: invited to BRICS, Milei ripped it up, bought F-16s instead.
Brazil: Bolsonaro campaigned on "China is buying Brazil," then tried to gut the partnership.
Philippines: scrapped three Chinese-funded rail projects, ran to AUKUS.
Zambia: Western officials blamed China for "delaying" debt relief while China was the one restructuring $6.3 billion and the list goes on and on...
However, China keeps showing up. Keeps building. Keeps tightening the noose on the US war machine. And you're mad at China? 🤡
That's called Extraordinary entitlement - very common in the West especially in Europe! Multipolarity means shared responsibility, not “China fixes what the West breaks while receiving another sermon about human rights.”
Laurent is right: respect is apparently optional; interventions and bailout expectations and paying for your good times are not!
