    China couldn’t care less about Palestine or any other issue except to the extent it can be used against the US.

    Correct. Which is why China needs to maintain control of Tiktok - they are incentivized to show the true horrors of Israel’s genocide and the brutality of Zionism

    This is because China knows that doing so destroys the US’ moral clarity and credibility on the world stage. So no, it is not being done out of true sympathy for the Gazans. But without China’s involvement via TikTok, millions of young Americans would not even realize that a genocide was currently being funded by Biden and the United States. And for that, China deserves our thanks and deserves our support of their continued ownership of TikTok.

    The alternative is that the United States would be uncritically permitted to finance the extermination of Gazans in accordance with the whitewashings of Israeli Hasbara. That is a much worse outcome than permitting China to continue owning Tiktok. We need to know the truth about our government and our supposed allies. If our government will not tell us the truth, then we need our enemies to do it for us. Which is a horrifically sad reflection of how far the United States has fallen

      you hold a very hard line position, which begs the questions… Are those accusations true or are they amped up memes?

      like, how can anyone who is paying any attention at all to US foreign relations not be aware of the US support for Israel and the ongoing Palestinian situation ?

      It has been a known issue for decades, well before TikTok - not hidden or censored; openly discussed in media outlets formal and informal.

        The accusation that Israel is committing genocide, collective punishment, and ethnic cleansing against Gazans using American funds and weapons?

        Indisputably true
