It’s a factor. The sale of Israeli military technology for developing tanks, air-to-air missiles, and jet fighters to China that helped modernize China’s army and air force frightened a lot of western government officials:

Despite the previous reports, the bluntness of the C.I.A. assessment surprised Congressional specialists and appears to reflect a growing concern among American intelligence experts that China is seeking to use Israel indirectly to obtain military technology that United States and other Western nations have refused to sell to Beijing.

The intelligence agency reports that despite worries in the West about China's military buildup and its export of missile systems and other weapons to Pakistan, Iran and other nations, Israel has continued to share military technology with the Chinese.

America has still been trying to limit Israel from re-exporting shared western military technology to China and did manage to force Israel to cancel some of their previous deals that included upgrading Chinese drones with their technology and the sale of their airborne early-warning radar system technology to China. Western officials are also still afraid of a civil-military integration strategy in China where the Chinese government encourages commercial exchange with the west to then funnel acquired technologies to China’s military. With many of the most advanced chips in the semiconductor industry being developed in Israel and the dual-use nature of semiconductors, American officials are concerned that China’s interest in this sector would be used to further modernize and strengthen the PLA, which has goals of completing military modernization by 2035 and of becoming a “world-class” military by 2049. There's also the issue where China likely does not want Israel right now to become another government to strengthen military ties with Taiwan (oddly enough, Israel was the first in the middle east to recognize the PRC as the legitimate government of China in 1950, which is something I still don't really understand why). China’s arms imports still overwhelmingly come from Russia.

Vietnam has also become one of Israel’s largest markets for weapons and surveillance technology. Regardless, it would still be best imo for socialist governments (including Vietnam and China) to adopt the DPRK’s approach to Israel:

North Korea does not recognise Israel, denouncing it as an "imperialist satellite".[2] Since 1988 it has recognised the sovereignty of the State of Palestine over all of Israel.

They're not an arms exporter to Israel. Israel is the arms/military equipment/technology exporter to China in that relationship. Israel was trying for years to become China’s back door to western military technology and arms due to sanctions on China from the US and Europe that aimed to freeze China’s access to advanced military technology and weapons after the events at Tiananmen. China’s military exports are mostly to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Algeria. They tend to prioritize selling weapons to their neighbors.

Bayarea415 update:

"There is some misinformation/rumors that I "evicted individuals or families for banks." I have never participated in residential foreclosures nor evicted anyone. I have either assisted property owners negotiating with businesses to buy out land during leasing disputes, or just recover property that was straight up abandoned thru the courts (commercial foreclosures). I have never evicted individuals/families for banks, landlords, etc."

He acknowledges that there’s no genocide by the established legal definition. He seems to be supportive of the idea that there could be potential “cultural genocide” or cultural destruction though. It seems reasonable to assume at this point that the Xinjiang government likely overreacted with its counter-terrorism/anti-Salafi extremism/anti-separatism campaign and had at least some false positives, but even the claim of cultural genocide comes off as a reach at this point that relies on lots of wild speculation from westerners, poor and biased sources/translations, and conflicting evidence at best.

BadEmpanada is either not aware of Xinjiang’s new bilingual education policy or maybe he thinks mandating learning Mandarin to improve economic opportunity in addition to still learning the Uyghur language is somehow an example of cultural destruction (also a reach). It should also be noted that far-right takfiri Salafism and its foreign ultra-conservative customs (niqab/burqa/very long unkempt beards/bans on singing and dance) opposes traditional Uyghur culture (as Uyghur Muslims have traditionally been moderate Hanafi that don't even observe hijab), but there was a recent rise in Salafi/Wahhabi extremism and terrorism from the late 80s to the 2010s (Salafi jihadism and extremism was a major problem throughout Central Asia during this time and Muslim-majority Central Asian governments have used very similar counter-terrorism/anti-extremism measures). Uyghurs from southern Xinjiang tend to be poorer and more conservative than Uyghurs from eastern or northern Xinjiang. Uneven development, high unemployment in the private sector, profiling, lack of education, water scarcity, poor infrastructure, rising Salafi extremism, language barriers, poverty, and lack of inclusive growth were all problems that got neglected for decades in Xinjiang (southern Xinjiang especially) and are only recently getting seriously addressed.

A 2021 video of a public Uyghur school in Xinjiang. There are still legitimate issues in Xinjiang with uneven development and some draconian counter-terrorism policies that I'm not a fan of, but the neocons/sinophobes can't stop shooting themselves in the foot with these hyperbolic accusations and atrocity propaganda that fall apart under scrutiny.
