I been thinking lately about this. While Iran, an bourgeois state, can willingly choose not to trade with Israel, the PRC continues to trade with them. Why does this occur? Also, why did China recognize Israel in the first place?
what is more disappointing is that they are among israel's top 3 trade partner. even if they don't want to completely isolate or appear aggressive, they could've reduced trade. when it's the 2nd largest trade partner the defense of "they are just maintaining a pragmatic position" doesn't work in my opinion.
Israel gets all of the US' top shelf goodies, and China gets access to them via Israel.
Israel is actually in HUGE trade deficit with China. So it is not just that
