It's almost like teens see something like a genocide being committed, think it's wrong and say something about it.

IDK, both can be true. Teens might be right in saying something and tiktok might be amplifying that kind of content because it helps China geopolitically. A highly upvoted post on Lemmy literally yesterday was this - https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/13/us/china-online-disinformation-invs/index.html

China gains nothing by Mideast conflict.

Israel - clearly does not care about things like democracy and human rights.

I can see them drawing closer to China.

Russia arguably gains via ties with Iran and decrease of U.S. influence in the region. But, as far as news, reporting, information are concerned, it's pretty irrelevant, if there's actual propaganda then let it be shown and debunked, and even Iranian RT right now is barely saying anything surprising to anyone who's been watching what's happening on the ground.
