BEIJING — US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized China on Monday and told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that he was very disappointed by China’s statement on the recent Hamas attack because it didn’t show any sympathy or support for Israel.

Schumer is leading a delegation of six senators to China this week. The delegation, which comprises three Democrats and three Republicans, is the first visit by US lawmakers since 2019 and comes at a time of growing attacks on China in Congress as America contends with the rise of China as a global power.

“I urge you and the Chinese people to stand with the Israeli people and condemn these cowardly and vicious attacks,” said Schumer.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry statement on Sunday called on both sides to exercise restraint and immediately end the hostilities — but made no mention of the unprecedented Hamas surprise attack from the Gaza Strip early Saturday during which hundreds of terrorists invaded Israel, killing more than 700 civilians and soldiers and injuring over 2,000. The attackers also took at least 100 captives, civilians and soldiers, dragging them to Gaza. On Monday, Israeli soldiers were still fighting the terrorists to secure the border and dislodge Gaza gunmen from areas of southern Israel.

Israel has responded with airstrikes on Gaza with Palestinian health officials claiming 500 killed in the Strip.

In the ministry statement, China also said that establishing an independent state of Palestine is the fundamental way to resolve the issue.

“The recurrence of the conflict shows once again that the protracted standstill of the peace process cannot go on,” the statement said, adding that the international community needs to act with greater urgency and facilitate the resumption of peace talks.

Wang, who spoke before Schumer in their opening remarks, did not respond before journalists were escorted out of the room.

The two governments are trying to arrange a meeting between presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping during a regional summit in San Francisco next month in a bid to manage the increasingly fraught relationship.

China has traditionally backed the Palestinian cause but has also boosted ties with Israel as it seeks a larger role in trade, technology and diplomacy. In recent years, it has stepped up its involvement in the Middle East, assisting in the restoration of ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran and welcoming Syrian President Bashar Assad on a visit to China.

“I was very disappointed to be honest by the Foreign Ministry statement that showed no sympathy or support for Israel during these troubled times,” Schumer said near the end of his remarks.

He said that the top priority for the Senate delegation is seeking fair trade between the two countries.

“We want the Chinese people to have economic opportunity. That would be good for America,” he said. “But China must also provide a level playing field for American companies and workers. Many Americans, most Americans including our delegation, do not believe we have that fairness now.”

Wang urged the United States to respect China’s core interests and development rights. The Chinese government views American restrictions on trade and technology exports to China as attempts to hold back the country’s economic growth.

Schumer also raised the issues of Chinese companies that the US says are supplying chemicals for fentanyl production, ensuring China does not support what he called Russia’s “immoral war” against Ukraine, advancing human rights and releasing detained Americans.

It is two ugly twins. USA and Israel.

Israel should be most hated country in the world.

It already is.

Only those with hearts full of hate and tongues like a fork actively support that aparthied, racist so called state.

Israel is a morally bankrupt and broken state.

Hamas was not named as before, sounds like schumer is fooling himself

Is that your fig leaf to save face?

Typical USA propaganda.

Seeing one side of the story because there's a hidden purpose.


So basically, according to USA and Israel, the current condition of Palestine (which is in prison and losing their land every day) is someone kind of normal.

And the rebellious behavior of Palestinians is considered as terrorism.

Lack of sympathy?

Isn't China mediated the talk between Israel and Palestine in the past over and over?

Solve the problem once for all.

And it was Israel who doesn't want to obey the decision.

Now, Israel is asking for sympathy for something that can be predicted will happen.

what is wrong with you frenchie? you have been on a butthurt mode for quite some time..

Are you a psychologist?On topic, Xi walked back the foreign ministry “disappointing statement” . Let’s just hope another Chinese Foreign Minister doesn’t disappear suddenly.

So many challenges... So many enemies... The US is truly feeling the heat.

Chinese leader Xi strengthens statement on Israel after pressure from Schumer

In an unusual move, Chinese President Xi Jinping strengthened China’s statement condemning the attacks in Israel and the Gaza Strip after coming under pressure from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Sch…

thehill.com

Another Xi U-Turn, I guess he forgot to send his bot army the memo…

What U-turn? As attacks on civilians are committed by both sides, this is a neutral and consistent statement. And calls of immediate ceasefire is very much towards Israel. You can’t even read that simple message?

 

[大汉奸柳传志]

Xi walked back the foreign ministry “disappointing statement”

LOL.

“I raised with President Xi the unfolding atrocities carried out against Israel and the need for the world community to stand together against terrorism and with the Israeli people, and pointedly requested from President Xi that the Chinese Foreign Minister strengthen their statement; they did,” Schumer said in a Monday statement.

I don't know about you but this sure sounds like face saving on schumer's end. “trust me bro they did.”

China, in an updated statement through a foreign ministry spokesperson, condemned “all violence and attacks on civilians”

thing is, never in our history book we would consider occupiers as civilians, so the official statement is basically condemning Israel. if schumer is happy and thinks he got what he wanted then so be it, guy is old as fck...

 

[dbc]

President Xi that the Chinese Foreign Minister strengthen their statement; they did,”

Bottom line, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued an altered statement the very next day. Now you can dread it, run from it, but humiliation arrives all the same.

The first statement called for peace without condemning the act of terror. The second statement post Schumer condemned the killings.
