I know Foreign Policy isn't their actual internal stance, but this is not a great take on Palestine by the CPC Propaganda department organ.

EDIT: They deleted it. Thanks to the chad in the Central Committee who squashed this. Remember, Bullying Works.

    If they said they support Palestine they would be accused of hypocrisy (even though it would be a gross false equivalence), but doing this they will just be accused of trying to give "tankies" plausible deniability for disagreeing on this one point. That's my terminal online brain take anyway.

      I think preventing the deaths of Palestinians is more important than giving libs ammo to insult China

        That's why in the other post I said they should have just waited for someone to mention them for not weighing in and then just quote tweet it with the "That's bait" gif from Fury Road. China State media needs to hire some Maoist zoomers for their social media I guess is what I'm getting at.

      Yeah, maybe. And critical support for China here of course. But I just wish they'd more openly embrace internationalism sometimes.

        That's the whole point of critical support imo. Only communists are allowed to criticize china, vietnam, dprk, cuba, etc. imo. That's my Official Anarchist (TM) take.
