Blinken says China's talk of Ukraine peace 'doesn't add up' (www.dw.com)

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday expressed strong concerns about China's support for Russia's defense industry and questioned Beijing's sincerity in seeking peace in Ukraine.

He met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday.

"When Beijing says that, on the one hand, that it wants peace, it wants to see an end to the conflict, but on the other hand is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn't add up," Blinken said at a media briefing.

Beijing said it has not supplied Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine.

Blinken, however, said China has provided about 70% of machine tools and 90% of microelectronics that Moscow needs for military production, including rockets and armored vehicles.

Because people refuse to acknowledge that the US government is assisting a genocide. I believe that Blinken only knows China is full of shit because it's literally what the US is doing with the genocide.

My initial take was that first sentence lol then realized that context should be added. Its a complex issue that's hard to really put to a single comment.

You have a few user types:

if you say Israel is committing genocide you will get downvoted by mostly Zaionist. There are few here compare to reddit but still exist.
if you say US government is part of the genocide, you will get downvoted by mostly Zionist.
if you said Genocide Joe, or blamed the democrats for what is happening, you will get downvoted by democrats who will accuse you of being a russian shell because you want trump to win.
if you mention the hypocrisy of the statement made to support Ukraine and how they treat Palestinian you will get downvoted by European and being accuse of being a russian shell.
if you comment about history and how the US and Nato happy to prolong the war in Ukraine and how Nazis still exist or anything allude to how the US and its allies might be lying about Russia the same way the lied about all their enemies through out their history, you will get downvoted and label a tanki.

You'll also get downvoted for calling them all out, but I'll upvote you because you are, right.

I upvoted because I agree but would also like to add that Russia is also committing genocide in Ukraine just to be fair.

Or maybe lemmy went from 200-300k to 1.5m users in a year and the biggest instance love to dunk on ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.

Lol, I'm skeptical in general, but following the drama, I struggle to read these kinds of comments as something other than "Running with our tails in between our legs is dunking, if we say it enough times it'll be true!" I mean, .world literally has a Zionist bot in media bias fact checker that makes sure to ever so slightly move .world in a more fascist direction every day, .world and it's sub-instances like .ca have no legs to stand on.

Man lemmy.world is the weirdest I mean they’re pretty pro Palestine in a sense that it’s the consensus that Israel is committing genocide and is an apartheid state, but that not, I just don’t get it.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
