China has sided with Russia on the Ukraine issue at the United Nations while telling the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Kyiv.
China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, has said the U.S. should stop sending weapons to Ukraine to allow diplomatic efforts to work.
“Certain countries should immediately stop pouring oil on the fire and stop undermining the diplomatic efforts of the international community,” Zhang said while pointing at the U.S. at the U.N. Security Council review of the Ukraine issue on Monday in New York.
“We’d really like to set the precedent now that a larger neighboring country should be able to invade the Taiwan without any military support from outside that might impede this. What? Did I say Taiwan? I mean, ‘a smaller country’” - China probably
“So you consider it a country?”
“No I mean uhh”
This is what anti NATO sentiment gets you. It‘s not like China just started supporting Russia‘s invasion. They‘ve been working together from the very start and quite openly. But after Trump‘s rambling they now feel confident enough to show it plainly at a UN meeting.
I mean just late last year, Xi met with Biden in a historic visit, promising more cooperation and it took Trump a couple of minutes to reverse these efforts. Not like Xi could‘ve been trusted, but there was at least hope he could somewhat be contained, China being highly dependent on global relations and all. That‘s off the table now. Looks like we got another crazy dictator on the loose now.
I’m a bit out of the loop on this - how the heck did a guy who isn’t even in office any more undo the diplomatic progress of the President? Does he actually still have any sway with foreign leaders?
That guy is essential the head of the Republican party, which controls half of Congress and holds a majority of seats on the Supreme Court. When he says jump all of the other Republicans ask how high, while they all try to figure out ways to 1up each other to please him.
So when he speaks, he indicates what he wants to happen which telegraphs actions of all of his sicophants. So if he says “torpedo the border bill” it gets canned. If he says IDGAF about NATO, you can be sure China and Russia see an opening they can exploit.
I see, thank you kindly for your explanation. I knew he’s still the head of the Republican Party but I didn’t expect him to still be able to influence foreign relations to such a large extent. That’s just wild to me.
In a normal functioning political party he wouldn’t. But the Republican party is more like the cult of Trump right now than a political party, so… 🙁
A lot of mental gymnastics going on there, I hope they don’t pull a brain tendon.
Not a chance, the brain tendon fluid we all get from AutoZone is supplied by China.
I dont want to break an arm jerking myself off here, but this might be my best comment ever. I wanted to say this before seeing it do well or do bad.
Why did you do this?
Likely the same reason you did this^
I upvoted it by the way…
Noice
Hey bud, this post is getting stale at this point. I reckon I’m about to wipe out. Thanks for interacting and.your honesty. How do you think it’s going to go at this point?
You really did have a good comment and you had to go and pat yourself on the back before anyone even had a chance to see it.
I’m just saying, it’s terribly off putting and anyone who could have liked it were almost instructed by you to hate it.
Yeah I expected as much, it’s written right up there. I still believe it’s going to have a comeback
As other have said here, this is obviously an attempt to create a foundation of legitimacy for their own invasion of Taiwan. What I don’t understand about diplomacy at this level is this: Why do they care? What I mean is, everyone in this deliberating body knows what they are doing, and everyone observing it knows as well. Furthermore, as a permanent, veto holding, member of the Security Council, China faces no actual oversight from the UN as a whole. So, why bother with the show?

This is one of the most brain dead takes China has had, and they’ve had a lot.
Its really not braindead at all. Well if ur goal was to invade a smaller neighbour and didnt want them fighting back that is.
Right, but no one is going to buy such a bullshit excuse so why bother.
Oh, you must be new here
Fuck you, China, and fuck you, Russia.
I’d like to also say fuck Iran and North Korea while we’re throwing fucks around
So Trump agrees with ChyNA. Why is Trump pushing China’s agenda?
I don’t have a good feeling about the future. China seems to side a lot with Russia at the UN lately.
