Okay but it still sucks no matter how you spin it.
obviously fucking not lmao
Of course it sucks. As long as the US and it's allies will continue to block any global action, China cannot make a move or risk reprisal from those nations as well as lose the trust it's been building up with the global south. It's nice to imagine China as an all powerful big dog, but in reality China has a lot of weaknesses it has to play around. And on top of that, it's promise to BRICS and the global south is that China will never play favorites means it can't act or lose trust. The trust which is tenuously built since China refuses allies.
The real question you should ask yourself is whether or not China is right and we must move to a multipolar world. If you agree with it and that we should not have a super power hegemon, then sadly blood must be spilled to usher in a new world. And China promises to help construct it no matter who is in charge.
Now, that all said. My personal opinion is I partly disagree. I don't think the bloodshed is worth it. I also don't see another path. It's clear China had chosen to do this regardless. But that means a lot of wars as the world police goes to sleep. Which sadly means we are going to see a lot more genocides.
How much can the contract to send 6000 workers be worth to China? Do they really need the money that bad? They could just not aid the zionist colonialism. Not doing anything would be better than what they are doing. Not even fucking Germany is sending 6000 workers to literally build colonies. I know, they sent weapons instead, which is worse, but still. You can't frame this as a strategically necessary decision of China. That's ridiculous.
