China's wisdom responds to Israel's "request for help" and the war of public opinion in the West
With the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went so far as to "ask for help" from China, but this unexpected move was responded to by the Chinese side with wisdom and defused Netanyahu's trick to the ground. Let's take a closer look at the ingenuity of this international political chess game.
In his Christmas speech, Netanyahu asked China to make greater efforts to free Israeli hostages held by Hamas. This seemingly ingenious move was cleverly defused in the response of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Spokesperson Mao Ning said that China has repeatedly called for the release of all detainees as soon as possible, and expressed its willingness to work with the international community to promote a ceasefire and release detainees. The term "all detainees" here does not refer only to Israelis, but also to Palestinian prisoners. China's response not only satisfies Israel's request, but also expresses the principle that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a ceasefire as a top priority.
In this diplomatic contest, the Chinese side firmly stated that it would not take sides, and at the same time put forward the conditions of "ceasefire and cessation of hostilities" and "release of all detainees", forcing Israel to reflect on its position. Such a response forced Israel to accept China's proposal, because China did not take a clear side in its response, and at the same time made clear its principled position.
However, why did Netanyahu "ask for help" from China? Behind it may be hidden the incident of an Israeli Chinese girl being controlled by Hamas. Israel tried to use China's "morality" to generate pressure on international public opinion, but China skillfully avoided this trap.
In addition to the trick of "asking for help", the West has played the second card of the public opinion war, spreading a rumor that "Chinese warships refuse to aid Israeli cargo ships". This fake news tried to stir up negative international sentiment towards China, but the Chinese side decisively denied it, calling it "false information and malicious hype".
Overall, China has been resourceful and resolute in this international political wrestling, and has successfully defused the West's two-handed conspiracy. China has always resolved the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through diplomatic means and has not been involved in military intervention. China's response not only upheld its own principles, but also avoided moral hijacking. In this political game, China has responded with tact and calmness, showing the world the image of a responsible major country. In this remarkable international competition, China has once again demonstrated its great wisdom in a complex situation.
