    Yes, because China is well known to assasinate diplomats and family members of political opponents in dozens of countries around the world…

        You were the implying that bad things would happen to the diplomatic observers from the Arab League if they didn’t parrot the required Chinese propaganda.

          Sorry, I did not mean to imply that.

          But yeah, I would imagine that their countries were pressured into this by some kind of a trade deal. Just like a Christian country can help undermine another Christian country for personal profit, a Muslim country can help undermine another Muslim country for personal profit.

            22 countries? All of them? Including countries like Libya, UAE, and Saudi Arabia? No. That’s a really big claim and you’re going to have to provide evidence for it. I highly doubt all of them could be convinced to not break rank just because of some trade deals when Europe and the US and UN are deeply invested in pushing the narrative.
