Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

China's SOEs are fairly autonomous so I wonder how much of this for safety/security reasons vs ideological/political reasons.

Even if China is looking at this from a two-state solution lens, its pretty obvious that Israel's behaviour is a threat to the entire region.

Cue the chuds burning their Kirkland brand products

This is most likely due to economic reasons, credit to Ansarallah for this. China foreign policy is geared towards stability maintenance so as to develop their economy. I understand that rationale but imo if they were cooler, a shipping ban would be in place before the Yemeni blockade.

What is important to note is that China is Israel's second largest import source and third largest export destination.

I heard when a CCP member suggested they raise the price of the hot dog, Xi personally executed him on the spot

Apparently they had a big durian cake scandal fighting with their Sams club

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

Better late than never, I guess genocide eventually becomes bad for business
