The video flooded social media, capturing a wide variety of reactions from internet users. A social media user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "He should worry about all the big problems happening in his own country first."
Another added, "Ah, so when *we* arm questionable regimes it's "stabilizing" the region, but when China does it, it's "big problems"? Got it. The rules of engagement are always clear: "Do as I say, not as I do." This hypocrisy isn't lost on anyone."
