Dear China,
Offer Trump a “Participation Trophy of Peace” for starting a war and end this war no one asked for. This man has only two obsessions, Raping kids/Hiding Epstein Files and Peace Prizes. Simple.

China benefits from high oil prices; it is the largest producer of solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and batteries. China also hates Muslims; destroying Iran would significantly weaken Islamic extremism worldwide. The US would also become weaker, making it easier to invade Taiwan. The US would also lose its reputation and its relations with the EU would deteriorate, which would also benefit China.

Nailed alot of it. Although, China has made insane money because of the US led order…. Freedom of navigation… and dare I say it “ capitalism”. They absolutely do not want chaos, to be responsible for keeping maritime shipping lanes open, or to have to deal with political issues of the world. They certainly do not want more of the world’s influence within China ( unless it is IP’s they can “ co-opt”….).

China helped North Korea create the blueprint for Irans ambitions. North Korea built a ton of missiles threatening Seoul and use that deterance to develop nukes.
Iran decided that was the example they wanted to follow. North Korea didn't fund terrorism or mess with neighbors and its threats to Seoul were scarier. Iran didn't and to an extent couldn't replicate the North Korea strategy and now is getting bombed.

It’s strange. China is a communist dictatorship with no freedom of speech, very limited civic rights and freedom, suppression of religion, LGBQT and minorities and even something very close to concentration camps.
And they still come off as more cooperative, friendly and peaceful than the current US and its insane authoritarian regime!!

I think humans are very used to focussing on change.
China is a brutal dictatorship, but it has been for a long time. "China continues being what it is" = a boring story. Doesn't grab our attention.
That US voters actively chose, in 3 recent elections (2016, 2022 & 2024), to try and end their democracy and install a brutal authoritarian regime is causing a change in the US. So our eyes and attention are very much drawn there.

That’s only partially true (at least 40% of the U.S. subsidiary of TikTok is owned by foreign entities, including ByteDance), and even then, has only been the case for about two months.
Five years of brainrot doesn’t instantly evaporate with a change in ownership structure. I also doubt how arms-length this new subsidiary truly is when the ByteDance CEO is on its board of directors.

You do know that China actively is cleansing its ethnic minorities and harasses their neighbours in the pacific.
Just because the news doesn’t get mentioned over and over again doesn’t mean one is better than the other.
Despite the flaws in America right now, it is miles ahead of China in many aspects. You literally could not be having this conversation the other way around in China, before the government literally knocked on your door.

As selfish as it is, China isn't threatening anyone outside their local area, so people don't really care as much. This is a lot more palatable to people in the west.
Also, "harasses their neighbours in the pacific" is incredibly tame compared to what the US has done in south america and the middle east for the last 40 years.

Because of the ongoing establishment of the Five Nations Railway Corridor. The first direct freight train from China arrived in Iran (Aprin dry port) on May 25, 2025, establishing a ~10,400 km, 14–15 day trade route. This rail based land route evades the western ocean based trade sanctions. China doesn’t want to lose what they’ve only just started, and the US has a problem with that.

It's not illegal. You can Google their most famous gay city, Chengdu.
The Chinese government's attitude toward LGBT is that it is neither illegal nor encouraged.
The government won't arrest you for being gay, but they won't issue marriage licenses for gay couples either.

No-Limits partners.
Also despots in Iran and North Korea have long been under their protection and are the largest backers in this campaign against Ukraine. Drones, artillery and much needed manpower.
If not an anti-west alliance, what defines "No limits partners" as they seem to simultaneously encourage it, and want their hands wiped clean to resume talks.

China is indeed one of Ukraine's biggest backers seeing as how 97% of Ukraine's drone are supplied by China.
