From Foreign Ministry Regular Press Conference on October 20: https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/202310/t20231020_11165059.html

Bloomberg: US Ambassador Nicholas Burns called on the Chinese government to denounce terrorism by Hamas. He also cited Beijing’s stance toward the group as yet another challenge in the China-US relationship. How do you respond to this? And why hasn’t China mentioned the word “Hamas” as far as I know since the attack on Israel? It is a group that governs Gaza.

Mao Ning: China stands on the side of peace, equity and justice. We oppose all violent attacks against civilians and civilian facilities, condemn any violation of international law, and call on all parties to immediately stop fighting, protect civilians and avert a humanitarian disaster.

We always believe that in dealing with international and regional hotspot issues, major countries need to be objective and just, lead by example in abiding by international law and play a constructive role for a political settlement. We will continue to work with the international community to deescalate the situation.

Bloomberg: I’m just curious why did China refuse to say the word “Hamas”? It’s the organization that runs Gaza.

Mao Ning: Our position on the current situation is very clear.

The tried and true strategy of "go to war with every adversary at once"

They've already associated Iran, North Korea, and China with this, how long until we uncover incontrovertible evidence that Venezuela, Russia, and Cuba were part of the attack too?

They're only hastying the unity of the Global South resistance.

The tried and true strategy of “go to war with every adversary at once”

Germany tried this once; her leaders thought that Germany's high level of economic development, technological prowess, and social cohesion as a relatively new country would pull them through. There was also the centuries-old tradition of military excellence. It didn't work. Germany suffered a humiliating and bloody defeat, became divided for 40 years, and when reunified turned wholly into a vassal state -- losing a fair bit of territory along the way.

Does the United States really want to go down that road?

Fascists are incapable of objectively evaluating their enemies. Confront any pro-nato redditor with production stats or history and they will invent some shit about how the american military has secret wunderwaffen or american soldiers are just built different or they're lying about the results of their own war games or they didn't really lose every war since WWII.
