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?

I disagree. China did interfere in the Sri Lankan Civil War, on the government's side, who were doing a genocide against the Tamil people.

China traded with the government as usual. Intervention would mean China had sent troops to aid the government or train government forces.

It wasn't just regular trade. They sold guns to the Sri Lankan government. And they defended the government at the UN.
