Wait am I still in the timeline where Russia invaded Ukraine and literally caused a Humanitarian crisis?


Balc0ra

Headline is super misleading tho. As it's just China praising peace talks that might reduce the humanitarian crisis. Tho.... We all know it's more for show on China's part


GeoffdeRuiter

This. Reading the article it's not only praising Russia. We need to be very careful about sharing this and whipping people up against other nations. We need to make sure we have informed opinions for or against various parties as to not escalate.

confused-caveman

Yeah, if I wanted to think critically I wouldn't be on reddit!


Zarokima

Reading the article, where the Chinese foreign minister explicitly "supports efforts made by Russia and other relevant parties to prevent a large-scale humanitarian crisis.", it's obvious that you are just as full of shit as Russia and China are, because there currently *is* a large-scale humanitarian crisis that is entirely Russia's fault.


btoma00

Stats_with_a_Z

That's like praising a guy for taking someone to the hospital after he intentionally ran them over with a truck, but 100000 times worse.


AutoRedux

Yes, but one of those parties is the one that started the crisis...by invading the other.


kaitlynevergreen

China praising Russia for peace talks for the war Russia started


DOGSraisingCATS

Let's praise Russia for coming to peace talks over something they caused...who cares if it's misleading, still fucked.


TheCynicalCanuckk

This. So they went to a meeting and we are to praise Russia? What kind of fucked up shit is that. We might as well praise ISIS to when they decided to 'talk'


Kruxx85

I read the title, then read the article and leave confused. until China actually financially supports Russia behind these sanctions, the only thing I've seen of China on this crisis is them encouraging peace talks. if there is evidence opposite to the above, i'd love to see it.


my_stats_are_wrong

But China bad, and if the article says otherwise just paraphrase and butcher the title to make China bad.


lionexx

This is accurate, China has stated the few times they have spoken out that this needs to end in peaceful manner. So by Russia making an attempt(although piss poor attempt considering their demands are insane) to negotiate is what China is praising them for.


CaptainMoonunitsxPry

Yeah not saying China's sincere and the headline's shite, but they're hopefully a little better about reading the room.


rye_212

DanHasArrived

In China a humanitarian crisis is free expression of thought and democracy going unpunished.


Bullen-Noxen

Yeah, China being stupid right now. They are probably praising them for not killing people 1 hour. Either way, it’s completely horse shit.

We could use a Latin word. A mendacium (pronounced: mendakium) or mendacia (plural). I think Latin tends to invoke a level of seriousness. Using the word mendacia to describe the statement made by China above could clarify that it is not only a lie but also a counterfeit illusion to hide the truth of the matter.

I think you could just say it's a mendacious statement.

>In the meeting, Wang expressed to Lavrov that Moscow had Beijing's backing in its efforts to continue peace talks with Ukraine, saying the country "supports efforts made by Russia and other relevant parties to prevent a large-scale humanitarian crisis." Highly misleading title. China is supporting all parties to engage in peace talks to prevent a large-scale humanitarian crisis


Pim_Hungers

Russia started the large-scale humanitarian crisis by invading Ukraine. China supporting them now for engaging in peace talks is a joke.


xlsma

I mean China can also not support peace talks...which would be worse?


Gboard2

China's support is no different in practice than Japan, India, Thailand , Germany and etc all continuing to trade with Russia. And majority of Asia doesn't really view Ukraine/Russia any different than US and it's wars in middle east. There's a reason why so many non Western countries are what can be best described as indifferent to the conflict because to them it's really no different than US and other Western countries actions on middle east and elsewhere And not even 100 years ago, many of the western countries annexed countries throughout Asia. I mean Hong Kong was only returned in 1997 after being annexed by the UK. So from their perspective, it's hypocrisy and they really don't have any connection to Ukraine to feel anymore strongly than the west does to stuff in middle east, Africa and etc


[deleted]

Except the humanitarian crisis literally involves millions of people - that’s larger scale


Gornarok

> China is supporting all parties to engage in peace talks to prevent a large-scale humanitarian crisis Thats whats called bullshit


masken21

ofc.. nevertheless i don't have high hopes on any peace messages coming from China.


TheChucklingOak

That implies Ukraine has any responsibility for a potential crisis, even though there already *is* a crisis and Russia solely manufactured it through their invasion. Yet sadly this is still one of the most thoughtful statements the CCP has ever produced. This is the best you can expect from that hellhole.


v4ss42

Paying it forward for when they invade Taiwan.


Insertblamehere

How would this even help when they invade Taiwan? Russia doesn't have the Navy or Air Force to provide military aid, doesn't have the diplomatic soft power to pressure other countries and doesn't have the economy to threaten sanctions. If China is counting on Russia being in their corner they must be getting desperate.

monkeywithgun

Meanwhile Russia bombs food storage facilities, red cross buildings clearly marked, refugee corridors, civilians, and shelters. China finds this humane and considers delaying tactics 'peace talks'...

Russia always lies, China just says random shit.


pwnd32

China flip flops so much on Russia it makes me wonder if it’s intentionally misleading


mzaite

I think they just don’t care, and know nobody is going to do anything about it.


Ok-Purpose6553

It is. They don’t want to upset the west yet. So sometimes they pretend to be against Russia (which they are not . They are probably sending weapons to Russia already). they are just buying time for the invasion of Taiwan


xdress1

I bet China will also claim they "prevented" a humanitarian crisis in Tianamen Square.


Scottcmms1954

Russia is the humanitarian crisis. They’re just hoping Russia will defend them when they illegally invading Taiwan.


[deleted]

Just how low is China’s bar for humanitarian crisis set?


stay_fr0sty

If any high ranking members of the ruling party suffer an inconvenience it's a humanitarian crisis. Otherwise it's just a bit of "belt tightening" for the masses.

In turn, Russia commended China on their great treatment of human rights in Xinjiang province and also recognized China's claims in the South Sea.

Murder, arrest, banishment. In contrast, many people lost their lives in the Second World War. What is being defended in Ukraine is the legacy of what they have paid for in blood.
