Probably the result of some UK ships masquerading as Chinese in the Red Sea to not be attacked. China has not complained about it though, and sure as hell hasn't bombed Yemen in response, unlike the western crybaby countries.

So China supports terrorism even if it hurts their own people. That’s sad

? No Chinese people were hurt from that afaik.

And why would that matter? Is a Chinese person's life more valuable than the Palestinian lives the blockade is saving?

What you're thinking of is nationalism, and the nationalist/fascist party fled to Taiwan in the Chinese civil war lol

The blockade hasn’t saved any Palestinian lives. It is just escalating the situation.

The fact that the US is crying this hard about it means it is successfully pressuring them and their proxy.

Again, if the US actually cared, they would just stop funding and supporting the genocide.

The US doesn’t negotiate with terrorists

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yet they're funding and supporting them? What a weird government

[–] UsernameHere@lemmings.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The attacks on the cargo ships that are not related in any way to the Gaza situation? The US isn’t funding those terrorists.

That is patently untrue
