I agree. The reason why the majority of Chinese public opinion sides with the Palestinians is because Chinese people can see parallels between what the Arab and Muslim world is going through right now and China’s century of humiliation. Both come from great and ancient civilizations but their empires collapsed and their nations were divided and ruled by corrupt and traitorous leaders. This resulted in unfettered foreign aggression and massive suffering and humiliation by the Chinese people at the hands of Japan and the West.
That’s why China today is so obsessed with unity and sovereignty, because of this historic trauma. China today stands tall with dignity as a powerful nation. Hopefully in the future, Muslims will also be able to push out their aggressors and stand with dignity too.
