Yeah, this isn't the first and won't be the last time they get out on top. In the long term, there was next to zero blowback for China whatever the outcome as China was not directly involved in the region short of usual business interests, and China does not discriminate against anyone for business. Ultimate pragmatism I guess :shrug-outta-hecks:
I can understand it in a cynical way. All capitalism is unethical, might as well trade with everyone to build productive forces as quickly as possible so as to be self sufficient. 'More or less' ethical wouldn't matter in this view. It all sucks.
China be like :both-sides: :deng-smile:
Worked out for them I guess. Good relations with both right now, Iraq recently applied to the BRI
This conflict is just a horrible thing. Wild to see Syria break with the Soviet Union on it

I just wish China would suspend trade and relations with Israel and then publicly tell the shit to fuck off
