"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I mean, yeah, they do kinda do that.
Not really. They are not exactly relaxing when it comes to western imperialism and opposing it.
There just is not exactly much to do against it if they don't want to jeopardise their own people, their goal of a multipolar world and the idea of socialism in the world.
We are talking about nuclear powers and china is not that well liked yet in the west. They also don't want to make it seem like they are behind the Palestinian struggle and therefore give an excuse for the genocide because the evil and powerful CCP is behind it and not normal people that wanted to live in peace and are violently resisting due to being attacked.
To paint china as simply relaxing on this issue is a huge insult imo and we should trust our comrades conducting one of the most successful socialist experiments a little bit more. Especially when we consider that the USSR might have spread itself a bit thin by helping around the globe before securing themselves
They could stop profiting off of a genocidal fascist state for one.
Or they could not do that because there is nothing specifically wrong from profiting off of your enemies' actions as long as you don't rely on it for your entire economy. We don't really deal with moralist arguments here
Good quote!
Yes, and the trade with the entity was that China got US miltech in the 90s (when it was still the top provider in the world) when no one else would trade it with them bc of sanctions and in exchange the colony gets AC units and some agriculture. Basically consumer goods.
I'm not going to do a good trade bad trade comparison because that's meaningless but this was the historical reason for the normalization of relations with the zionist entity and the exporting country does get the most benefit out of it. There is a strict ban on exporting weapons or anything that could be made into weapons.
I can't be in their mind but China is probably worried that if they completely change course it will only alienate them from the ties they've built in the region. Most countries in the region have normalized relations with the occupation, what is China supposed to do when they inherited a situation they had no hand in forming? Instead of yelling at them on english websites the CPC doesn't read we should be demanding that our governments send Cuba oil.
