"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

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.

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.

Who is doing literally anything about the US performing acts of war on a near daily basis?

Other countries are doing plenty, go too far and they just wipe you out.
