The Global Times China is one of many state media outlets; it is a “propaganda apparatus.”.
China has sided with the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel, and against the US, in a manner that represents a significant strengthening of the red-green axis. Weeks ago, China offered Iran “moral support” as Iran’s proxy Hizballah waged war on Israel.
On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in late September, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a private meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in which Wang pledged “support for Tehran in safeguarding its ‘sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and national dignity.’”
The THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is solely for defense. China’s opposition to it is a show of its malignant intentions toward Israel.
China has also opposed South Korea’s installation of THAAD in response to nuclear and missile threats from North Korea, on the grounds that “the anti-missile system could be reconfigured to peer into its territory.” Even so, South Korea’s only intention in deploying the system is self defense, again demonstrating China’s malign regional intentions.
“Middle East crisis to intensify if THAAD deployed in Israel: expert,” by Yang Sheng, China Global Times, October 13, 2024:
If the US deploys a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system in Israel, the regional crisis and ongoing conflicts could worsen as the deployment could further break the balance of power in the region, analysts said on Sunday.
Washington is reportedly considering deploying the system to protect Israel as the US ally’s bloody operations in the region have resulted in retaliations from Iran and other armed groups in the Middle East.
A US official told The Times of Israel that US President Joe Biden’s administration is considering transferring the THAAD systems to Israel, “but adds that a decision has not yet been made,” the Israeli media reported on Sunday.
Earlier, several Israeli reports claimed that the US will deploy the anti-ballistic missile system in Israel – including sending American troops to Israeli soil to operate it – as part of preparations for the “expected Israeli response to Iran’s recent missile attack.”
By attacking Iran and other anti-Israel forces in the region, Israel is purposefully building a dangerous security environment for itself and deliberately making as many enemies as possible. This will force the US to spend more resources to protect Israel and will win more support and supplies from the US. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is firm in his belief that the US will unconditionally protect Israel, which is why Israel has no concern about acting so aggressively, analysts said.…

If you are making the chinese government angry, you are doing the right thing. Just as evil as iran, just as determined to bring the whole world under its domination, having no respect for individual rights, freedoms, or decisions; and no respect for life.

Essentially, Beijing sees Israel as a small thing to sacrifice so that it’ll have a belt/road empire of muslim countries from Pakistan to Gambia, and hence, they’re happy to broker agreements like b/w Hamas & Fatah, Iran & Saudi Arabia and so on

It’s been obvious that the current Chinese leaders of the CCP are not our friends. They have a long term plan to bury western civilization – essentially the US.

Yes, as do Islamic nations. There isn’t an Islamic nation that lives in peace with anyone, including each other! Even when there is no infidels in their nation, they then attack and war with each other. Look at Syria. This Biden Administration is the largest aid donor than any other nation, and we take their refugees. Why? Is that what will continue when they fight and kill each other? Why should the US do that? There is no reason except the US has been invaded and our agencies are filled with Islamists.
