come on, this isn't 50's China barely recovering from civil war. They could at least embargo Israel, support a one state solution and arm the resistance, like they did in the Maoist era. Instead, they choose to trade with Israel. It's super frustrating.
It doesn't matter if we consider China capable of solving our crises and absolving us of our sins. Painting China as complicit in Israel's genocide is still completely unfair. You can argue that they have not done enough to stop the bleeding, but to say they've made no attempts, diplomatic or otherwise, to disrupt Israel's genocide is simply untrue. It's also not the job of the Chinese people or their government to clean up after our messes in the first place, especially at risk to their own national security and economic development.
This kind of thinking, where major powers are culpable for all the evils of the entire world over, is rooted in the Anglo-American imperialist mindset. It makes sense for the Brits or the Yanks to feel responsible for all the suffering in the world. We are! But are Chinese people also meant to feel this way? If so, why?
Weren't you the one complaining about the adventurist NPA?
I can see cutting trade with Israel, under the presence of economic insecurity there, but beyond that, there's no solidarity for national liberation, only realpolitik
