Are China's claims /actions in the South China Sea similar to Israeli settlements on formerly Palestinian land?
I think the situations are rather identical. But China’s actions have been deemed more deplorable. At least from the media I’m exposed to.
Personally, I denounce both countries actions. I rarely see much about the suffering the Palestinians are subjected to by Israel. But every two days I hear about China building a runway, or something.
Is the disparity in media coverage western propaganda ?
What advantage do Israel’s actions provide the west?
Why vilify China, but not Israel?
