    China has to be careful now that it’s on Israel’s bad aside, if we take the political reactions at face value. Israel is known to have ties with ISIS, and china borders Afghanistan which is unstable and filled with “ISIS-K” that just so happens to care very much about Uyghurs and not the Americans when they were occupying the country.

      speaking of ISIS… there was some warning about “potential ISIS plots on pride parades” on the bay area news the other day… how wonderful they can tell that but they just don’t know when or where or how or who

        Was this an actual government warning or something fox put out? Either way the FBI probably tricked some lonely or autistic or mentally ill Muslim kid into making threats

      The CIA was located in Afghanistan with infinite Opium money for 2 decades and they couldn’t make East Turkestan happen. Israel won’t be able to make East Turkestan happen.

      China completely wiped out all the terrorist networks.

    Low key it’s a bit sus how many Israeli connections there are to all the Xinjiang atrocity propaganda. From Israel being the only country to vote against China in the middle east to all those articles abt ETIM seperatists “looking up to israel” and visiting Israel. Times of Israel has a bit too much “original” reporting on it for them to not be a little bit involved. Even if you go on Al Jazeera the journalists who write abt it are either anglos or israelis.

    This kinda sounds like BS. Article doesn’t mention economic relations changing. If China is still Israel’s second or third largest trading partner, can one really say they are burning all their bridges?

      Changes in economic relations have happened but are still pretty limited, like more strict enforcement with dual purpose export regulations, which have angered Israeli officials and importers:

      Israelis are concerned with the enforcement of regulations, saying that it reflects the supposed pro-Palestinian stance that Chinese authorities have taken.

      “It is clear to us that there is a direct link to the war,” the unnamed official told Ynet.

      Some Israeli businesspeople have gone to the extent of claiming that Beijing has imposed sanctions on “Israel” for enforcing regulations.

      “The Chinese are imposing a kind of sanction on us. They don’t officially declare it, but they are delaying shipments to Israel,” an industrialist said.

      “This has never happened to us before. We are talking about many different types of components. In electronic products, there are tens of thousands of components, but if even one component doesn’t arrive, we cannot deliver the product,” he complained.
