No, no you fucking tankie China should deploy the entire military to the middle-east and use their export economy to globally project their power across the world on Israel. /s

No, but seriously, as shitty as it sounds; I don’t think China has a responsibility to do anything for Palestine, as grim and horrible as that sounds. They are not a part of the West, they have no colonial ties to Palestine from colonizer nations (meaning, you aren’t from a ex-colonial nation or settler one, etc).

They had no hand in creation or even a historical role in their creation or a part to play if you don’t entirely separate the CPC from the Dynasty periods (as you should). This doesn’t mean they don’t feel great sympathy, nor have solidarity with Palestine. They have done much for them despite being on the other half of the world.

“But they trade with Israel” is such a stupid fucking point when you consider how much of the world is financially and economically connected…especially when they’re an export economy. I don’t like XHS’s posts sometimes but at least he has sense and reason behind the points that he makes.

Any extreme or hostile move trade-wise or economically on a erratic and already hostile United States that is your major import partner could jeopardize the balance and conditions of development that are quite good for China as of now. That is their main focus and has been compared to the very different history of it’s historical past when it’s dynasties used to either imperialize via tributaries or conquest. There’s entire books written about reflections from then and now.
