Very disappointing and condemnable to see China collaborating with Israel’s apartheid regime. A reminder that China even tried to win a contract to build Israel’s illegal settler railway in the West Bank. China must abandon this wrong EU-like policy https://t.co/KAbshNo4ht https://t.co/xom3ZNT4LH— Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) October 22, 2021
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.
