"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 I had a big ass well thought out and well written post to detail on all my points but then lemmygrad seemed to crash on all my browsers and it's gone, so I'ma just do a summary on my lemmy account cause I'm too annoyed to retype it all.
Basically, the Chinese blocking trade was a fabrication made by a pissy Isn'real company that made excuses for a Chinese firm not wanting to buy up a bunch of their stock. At least that's how it looks to me. The Chinese embassy refuted their claims. See link. Now maybe there's a secret ban, but China typically stands by their statements.

As for the rest... Basically, I think they are doomed because the west is ramping up the genocide, and the aid is running out. Countries are backing off. I'm not belittling their efforts nor saying anyone should give up. Just acknowledging the bleak nature of the world. I also think we have a major issue with "someone will save us/them." And that's that mentality issues all to common and is only hurting us We gotta just accept that no one gonna save us but us. China isn't gonna get themselves nuked for me, you, or anyone else, if they can avoid it. I'd say the same for most other countries.
I never said I was a "China bad because not helping" person, just that I understand how people get there. Like is said, China isn't gonna get themselves nuked for you, me, or anyone else, that's isn't China. It would be stupid to. I wouldn't if I was them. But sometimes, I have to hate on the optics and commentary they give about it. Like when Chinese ambassadors go on about how great trade relations are going with Israel and how great of a trading partner they are. Like " oh cool, glad you having a good ol time with the genocidal maniac state."
I had so much more to say/better wording but I don't have an hour to remember and retype it all, so this is what I got.
