I don't know about this specifically, but China's typically taken a neutral route when it comes to international affairs. And that's for better or worse I guess. They haven't really funded external communist groups nor have they embroiled themselves within proxy wars. Last time I think they did that was the Korean War?

And that's fair to criticize but China's pretty consistent on how it tries to achieve very neutral terms internationally. China even trades weapons with Israel, which sucks.
