The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) reaction to the deadly attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorists revealed that it’s on the side of Palestinians, according to Gordan Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China” and “China Is Going to War.” On Sunday, China’s foreign ministry issued its first statement, expressing its deep concerns about the “escalation of tensions and violence between Palestine and Israel.” Without naming Hamas, the ministry’s spokesperson urged “relevant parties” to “remain calm, exercise restraint, and immediately end the hostilities.” Beijing’s stance is in sharp contrast with responses from Western countries.

This move follows an unusual surge in online public support for the Chinese men’s soccer team on South Korean web portals. During a quarter-final match between South Korea and China in the Hangzhou Asian Games on Oct. 1, the live cheer page on Daum, a major South Korean portal site, revealed an anomaly. It showed that cheers for the Chinese team had received approximately 20 million clicks, making up an astonishing 91 percent of the total.
