"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

All people ask is to not trade with a genocidal entity. The fact China can't even manage that is pathetic.
Do you at least harbor some amount of disappointment for how little China has distanced themselves from "Israel"?
I'm not going to sit here and say China should start deploying troops to Tel Aviv, but isn't it fair to be a little disappointed with how little they've browbeaten "Israel"?
On the other hand, I would have absolutely no rebuttal if you say something like "its not our place (as members of the Imperial core), to be disappointed in a nation that doesn't want to clean up a mess that we created". I could potentially see the orientalism in this perspective.
Or, maybe you reject the entire premise and DO think that China has been effectively browbeating "Israel"?
Honest questions.
China have a consistent policy. They recognize the state of Palestine and vote for its membership in the UN.
China want to mediate a peaceful resolution. To achieve that, they will not distance themselves from or sanction Israel. They can't be an effective mediator otherwise.
They only use trade sanctions in RETALIATION to attacks on China from other countries.
Sanctions aren't going to beat Israel. It's supported by the US with billions of dollars per year.
