Very proud for my president for stating this.
All his statement means is Israel should exist as a Jewish state. This is as outlandish statement as Saudi Arabia or Iran or Pakistan should exist. Nobody seems to question the right of Muslim/Arab states to exist, yet a Jewish state is controversial.
ABC News: Biden dismisses China's proposed peace plan
Source: ABC News
If Putin is applauding it, so how could it be any good? Biden said. Im not being facetious. Im being deadly earnest.
Ive seen nothing in the plan that would indicate that there is something that would be beneficial to anyone other than Russia if the Chinese plan were followed, he said.
Biden also dismissed the idea that Beijing would negotiate peace for Russias full-scale war.
The idea that China is going to be negotiating the outcome of a war that is a totally unjust war for Ukraine is just not rational, Biden said.

Source: Spiegel International
The U.S. and Germany have warned China not to deliver weapons to Russia. According to information obtained by DER SPIEGEL, however, Beijing and Moscow are said to be negotiating the purchase of 100 strike drones, which could be delivered as soon as April.
According to that information, the Russian military is engaged in negotiations with Chinese drone manufacturer Xi'an Bingo Intelligent Aviation Technology over the mass production of kamikaze drones for Russia. The revelations create a new urgency in the debate over possible Chinese military support for Russia.
Bingo has reportedly agreed to manufacture and test 100 ZT-180 prototype drones before delivering them to the Russian Defense Ministry by April 2023. Military experts believe the ZT-180 is capable of carrying a 35- to 50 kilogram warhead.

the drone technology is actually quite impressive in China , however, it being used as a weapon capable of destruction scares me.

China is clever here, Russia have no one else to trust. As soon as the timing is right, Vladivostok could very well return to china's hand after losing it in 1860. a classic chinese tale as old as time, The Battle Between the Clam and the Crane.

Awful dictatorship supporting another awful dictatorship, shocker.
China big mad because they know Taiwan would get as much or even more help from the west than Ukraine is getting. The CCP knows its on its last leg, I hope the Chinese citizens do Xi like the Italians did Mussolini.
U.N. Experts Alarmed by China's Treatment of 1 Million Tibetan Children

Agroup of U.N. experts said Monday they were alarmed by China's years-long policy of "forced assimilation," which has sent nearly 1 million Tibetan minority children to boarding schools for compulsory Han-Chinese education.
The Chinese government aims to acculturate the Tibetan people "culturally, religiously and linguistically" by placing children in a residential school system where they lack "substantive study" of their own language, history and culture, the three rights experts said.

China Helping Russia's War With Ukraine With Military Aid--Violating Sanctions--Reports Show
https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2023/02/04/china-helping-russias-war-with-ukraine-with-military-aid-violating-sanctions-reports-show/?sh=306ed9eb6fb9China is providing military aid to Russia in violation of U.S.-led sanctions placed by western countries, according to Russian trade data reported by the Wall Street Journal, as tensions build between the U.S. and western countries and China, amid a spy balloon scandal and a canceled Beijing visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
China is the new Axis of evil with Russia. It's a shame that a country with such history and culture has been tainted by the CCP. I hope in my life time, there is a day that the CCP is toppled and replaced with a similar government like that of Taiwan.
