China's trade with BRI countries exceeds China's trade with the West and the trend line sees BRI trade going up. Since the West is the only faction really supporting Israel...
Sure but that doesn't answer the question. Maybe if there were a broad call from their other trading partners to take a moral stance but China is well known for not taking political stances they don't directly benefit from. Again scoring some easy political points against the US is great but I don't see them making any serious move here unless it somehow serves their interests (which is a perfectly rational stance to take, it's not a criticism.)
