I dont know if this is specifically a western values thing, over here in NZ we are in the right in both instances. Same with australia, france and a fair few other western countries. Seems to just be how closely the nations align to the US

How are we playing both sides? My government is very vocal when it has ethical concerns, even with friendly nations as shown by our stance on palestine

Seriously?! People need to stop making this a west vs east thing. Genocide is wrong—whether it’s the chinese or israeli or us government doing it. I’m so sick of this east vs west discourse, when there have been genocides on both sides of the globe. It’s all evil, and if you can’t say that, then youre the one with a problem.

During the Syrian civil war, a Chinese hostage was murdered by the Islamic State, which claimed its desire to fight against China over Xinjiang.[319] These militants are also very active in Syria, mostly Idlib, where it formed to be one of the most radical fighting groups in the conflict, which prompted China to take cautious reactions.[320][321]

A number of Uyghur militants have been recruited by ISIS[322][323] and have had a presence in Southeast Asia, with some joining Mujahidin Indonesia Timor.[324]

Some nice context for the confused here.

A lot of countries only vote yes because they know usa will vote no. Especially many of the European ones who will only give token support and don't actually care

Gotta love the veto votes. Peak democracy.
