    Yeah the PRC just popped into existence and was never poor and destitute and being hunted by fascists you’re right we shouldn’t do anything and if the Chinese don’t sacrifice themselves by the millions they are the reason why everyone around the world suffers.

    Entitled, pathetic behaviour.

        So we can agree that sanctioning and blockading countries is effectively an act of war when the US and its vassals do it but if China were to do it, no one on the international diplomatic stage would care at all and would let it slide with no reprisals.

        You have not thought this through. At all. It is pathetic.

          no one on the international diplomatic stage cares at all and lets it slide with few reprisals.

          If any sort of trade blockade against Israel would result in immediate global hellfire, there is simply no avenue for China to maneuver in its non-interventionist policy because the former result will happen anyways. If that’s how dire things are, China will be involved in WWIiI soon whether it likes it or not.

            Are you serious? Do you not see how America is acting recently? They’ve been bombing Iran, kidnapping presidents of socialist countries and threatening to annex Greenland - yes the very real threat of America completely flying off the handle and escalating Taiwan/Korea in response to perceived Chinese aggression is something that is playing a role here.

        Exerting influence through these economic levers is just something the Chinese leadership isnt going to do - they are drawing off lessons learned from the USSR’s collapse. The diplomatic position remains anti-colonial.

        My dude, CIA assets embedded in China are going to start blowing up Chinese bridges and power plants from within if China actually boycotts the Zionist entity because the boycott would be an act of war that would demand a response from the enemy. Since China is already an economic superpower, they would wage war through noneconomic means, first with sabotage and cyberwarfare before escalating to proxy wars and eventually direct kinetic warfare. Iran has launched cruise missiles at the Zionist entity, and for that, they have to go through two attempts at regime change, one while the war officially commenced and one that just recently passed with the failed color revolution attempt, both of which were incredibly violent, as in “protestors” with full auto rifles firing at crowds along with sabotage like burning down mosques and attempts at storming military bases.

        Can China be condemned for not being willing to pay the human cost for the sake of liberating Palestine? For someone living in Yemen or Iran or Lebanon, who live in a society that have already offered martyrs for the sake of Palestine, yes they’re justified in condemning China for not willing to offer martyrs of their own although I doubt they would agree to shipping Yemeni/Iranian/Lebanese troops to China for the sake of fighting Chinese border disputes. But for Westerners, including an Aussie sexpat holed up in Argentina, who have not only not offered martyrs but have collectively sustains the Zionist entity in the first place, not so much.
