    I think China's main foreign policy is "don't get invaded, cut off from the global economy, or nuked" and taking a strong, direct anti-Israel stance puts them resoundingly at risk for all three

      China is not some medium sized country like iran, its the emergent superpower and the west is already giving them shit for the uyghur issue, they can afford to take a stance

        They probably can afford it, yeah. They're often too cautious in their foreign policy in a way that doesn't quite match their domestic policies.
