Members of Kibbutz Hanita are suing the Chinese-controlled Ballet Vision fund for refusing to buy their remaining stake in an intraocular lens plant, citing losses and what it says is a Chinese government ban on new investments in Israel since the war
No, my basic argument is that it’s a ‘good’ thing generally for people in that area, but that it’s not done for their benefit.
Read the linked article. They aren’t selling the ban in any way as a humanitarian thing. It’s a ‘risk’ thing to do with the instability in the area, and (quite likely) the potential for the USA’s connections to Israel to disrupt any potential Chinese investment in the region.
All the attempts to make this sound like some humanitarian / progressive move on the part of china is bullshit injected by apologists in this thread. It’s not in the article, nor has China really made any big overtures related to human rights. And given the Uyghur situation, and the state of human rights in China, it’s pretty clear that they aren’t that bothered with that stuff.
