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

no one on the international diplomatic stage cares at all and lets it slide with few reprisals.

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.

Read some history books nerds, Palestine wouldn't even likely still be an alive entity without the historic support China provided. Like the PLO with arms, mediation support and money.

This position has allowed them to exert massive diplomatic force in the present day - look at the 2024 Beijing Declaration.

And the North Koreans need saving and those are the Chinese peoples brothers, sisters and comrades.

America nuked a country off there coast and tried to invade and genocide them and enslaved and occupied the south portion of their country, which now practices invading them every single year while pointing nukes at them.

China is a co-signatory on the Korean War, they participated in it and sent troops by the hundreds of thousands to North Korea. That war is still ongoing, but cold.

Why do you think China isnt interfering?

It might feel useless but its not useless, keep working for it.

Exerting influence through these economic levers is just something the Chinese leadership isnt going to do - they are drawing off lessons learned from the USSR's collapse. The diplomatic position remains anti-colonial.

The burden for China to have to do something against the wests genocide when they have nothing to do with Palestine, even historically is weird. Despite that the diplomatic perspective of China has always been one of contesting the Golan heights, supporting North Korea and historic support of the PLO when it was a marxist entity.

To say they are not anti-colonial is wrong, they are also pro-trade and diplomancy - im not going to get mad at them for mirroring what the US does which is just bomb them.

Yes, unironically - do you expect Palestinians to swim across the ocean to come clean up the mess that your people is causing? Its the US thats bombing them!

What anti-imperialist causes is China supporting in any significant manner, besides just improving its own productive forces? Cuba is about to be destroyed through sanctions, Venezuela just had a coup orchestrated by the hegemon, one that China probably did nothing to intervene in. What exactly is China doing besides profiting from all sides?

North Korea? Did the entire Korean war just go over your head?

The implicit threat from America has always been that if China starts exerting influence over Palestine, they will escalate North Korea - China is still technically at war with the US over this, peace was never agreed.
