    Words are cool and all, but China hasn't even done the bare minimum of sanctioning israel yet. Even turkey has stopped trade with it by now.

        China says it will take Taiwan back and that means war, so China will need allies. It is a happy coincidence for China that Russia and Iran are having battles right now.

        Gonna need a lot more than some papers. It's unlikely China will actively try to stop the Genocide. As it completely destroys America's reputation on the global stage.

        But if China wants to profile themselves as a leader in human rights they should sanction Israel.

          I think what needs to happen is that Israel has to be sanctioned by the UN. If China starts doing unilateral sanctions then it's no different from what the US is doing. Even if sanctions are done for the right reasons, it's still the wrong approach. We need to actually use the UN to reach consensus among different nations, then act upon that basis. While the security council does have vetos, the general assembly does not, and that's where measures against Israel can be passed.
