    Yeah I think their strategy really is just to act as a more rational alternative to hegemonic power where they are willing to use diplomacy more than violence or the threat of violence to resolve things.

    I say this all and still wish they did more but what can you do, Gaza isn’t their horse or their race, short of carpet bombing Isntreal condemning and sanctioning is about the best it can do without opening itself up to self harm globally.

      That’s true. There’s also the fact that by not responding with military force, China just kinda lets the US destroy its own reputation.
