"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

Yeah I feel like, BE's takes on China are pretty shit on the regular but honestly I would be lying if I said I didn't feel like this sometimes. Most leftists on this site have agreed at one point or another that China's international policies have a history of being.... Not the best, but the second you criticize the lack of any real support for Palestine, all of a sudden you get a 10 pages essay about why their strategy of inaction is 10D chess and how they have to keep doing business with Israel and having their politicians literally praise trade deals with them in order to somehow eventually prevent the single last Palestinian child from being murdered.
Like we get it, they can't really do shit because the west, and none of us is ready to die in nuclear hellfire. It's the simple truth, but damn if they don't make it come off like they really just don't give a single shit about stopping it.
As bleak as it is, in my personal opinion, Palestine is doomed. The world will fail to do anything till it's too late for them. The only powers that CAN stop it, have all but blatantly admitted they won't. I know this will piss a lot of people off, and we should all still support them to the last, but I just don't see this genocide being stopped in time.
I mean, they could do a Trump strategy and declare an economic blockade on Israel and put tariffs on anyone who does business with Israel. But they're too busy complying to the WTO for some reason....
This would involve an immediate reaction by the west and probably end up being almost as bad as taking physical action in the long run. It would only really hurt China and China isn't going to take actions that hurts itself. It's not in their playbook.
Yes, but that's exactly what's frustrating in their foreign policy. They won't do anything that upsets the West. Even Russia was willing to eat up all the sanctions, but China won't do anything. Eventually that will come back to bite them. After all, the destabilization of the Middle East is part of the US plan to destroy China. But the CPC doesn't seem worried, so what do I know?
