“China arms auti communist regimes” had been sprading in Chinese Internet since several years ago. But in fact China’s aid to Philippines was to fight against an Islamist terrorist organization “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maute_group”. I don’t know how could a islamist organization become “maoist organization”. Also I was banned on https://lemmygrad.ml/c/hoxhaism for repeating deleted comment. I accept but I think Wisconkom should treat himself with the same standard. He circumvented the ban by creating a new account. He should be treated with the same standard.

    • Yeah, several NATO countries have been selling weapons for a long time, and Amerika is obviously the main reason why Saudi Arabia can keep assaulting Yemen. I understand why China trades goods with countries like SA and “Israel”, but the CPC selling weapons while knowing this sounds weird to me (even if SA claimed that it would only use those weapons for defensive purposes). Maybe I’m just naive and moralizing, but I hope there’s some better reason than just money

        • This is a very bad reason indeed, but the fact is that the actions of the country buying the weapons do not condemn the country selling them. So China can call for restraint on both sides in its diplomatic relations and continue to sell arms. Weapons are one of the few high-end industries that China can export, and the profit from one drone can be the profit from millions of washbasins or cups. China and the Soviet Union also sold a lot of weapons to both sides in the Iran-Iraq war, and I can only say that it was because they needed money.
