      Boycotting Israel would be a unilateral movement of active hostility that, unfortunately, would be viewed with hostility by the US and its vassals. China gets away with bilateral trade wars because they are acting in response to actions taken against it directly, not for a third party.

        The US views China’s mere existence as a hostility. What would the US do in response, launch missiles? Economic sanctions against China would hurt the US more than they hurt China, no?

        Obviously the West holds 1000x more culpability for Israel. I’m not saying “China bad”; I’m just trying to do “ruthless criticism”.

      China is not officially banning the sale of refined rare earths. It mereley does not process export orders by the US.

      I am not gonna pretend like I specifically know a lot about their trade with Israel and why they continue some of their trade, but then also block investments in Israel.

      I just know that they have been building up one of the most successful socialist experiments ever and that they have been phenomenal at navigating their politics and economy as to lift their people up into greater heights while not relying on the destruction of other people to achieve that.

      I am sure that Israel is not an integral part of their economy and I am also sure that banning trade will not affect Israel at all because America and the EU are gonna pick up the slack

      Anyway, trade is not support so maybe they just don’t see it as a problem at all and are concentrating on navigating the downfall of the empire and dodging the lash outs while trying not to agitate them into nuclear war.
