I honestly really doubt it.
Yeah, the US and Israel had their share of conflict, but I think Israel is 100% justified, the US is less so in many cases.
I really thank anyone that saved Jews during WW2, However the China of 1939-1945 is nothing like the China of 1948, and nothing like the China of today.
While the US and Israel did kill civilians, mostly in the form of mistakes, China has a much more systemic approach to it, against its own civilians.
It's such a shame though. Chinese people are smart and hard working, if China wasn't focused on maintaining its communist leadership that silences anyone criticizing it and on matters such as Taiwan and intervening into people's personal lives, China could have resolved many of its problems and get many of its enemies off its tail by peace alone and turned into a real ally of the west which it trades with so much, rather than a rival and a potential enemy.
How is it systemic? China kills less own citizens than US kills own citizens. 1000 US citizens are killed by state security forces every year. In China it is huge news if even 1 person is killed by police.
Why is it bad to silence critics? If you had the power to stop criticism wouldn't you use it?
BTW, the answer to that question is yes, you did.
