I’m a bit of a sinoboo, but the PRC’s response to this genocide has been severely lacking. You’d think they’d be using this as a clear sign that the US cannot be trusted with so much power. Although it might also be because they know that China openly supporting something turns even “progressive” Western liberals against it.

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

I think yes and no. Of course I'd love to see them go balls to the wall, denounce the whole Zionist entity and start dishing out sanctions and providing material support to the resistance. I know that's what they'd like to do if it were practical.
But this is China. They are a deeply practical and calculated state, who prioritize the well-being of their people and revolution over all else. And I cannot blame them for not engaging in this arguably reckless manner.
To me this is just China playing the long game once again. I think they realize the occupation cannot last, that the west is crumbling and that the PRC will emerge victorious if they stick the path. So that's what they're doing.
Reeeevolution had good points as well
The PRC walks a very fine line of hampering western efforts to ruin the region on one hand and not handing the west ammunition for its war propaganda regarding the planned war against China.
It was China who mediated the peace talks between the Saudis and Iran. It was China which enabled Iran to weather the sanction regime of the US. Recently China started fucking with Israel, by upholding laws it previously ignored in the trade with the zionist entity.
I also wish they'd do more, but part of me wonders if they're genuinely scared of what a US response to firmer action might look like
If even China doesn't approve of your tactics to fight "insurgents", you might be doing something wrong.
China's "tactics" have been to provide education, jobs, opportunities, infrastructure and an increased standard of living. It's the West whose tactics are to indiscriminately bomb and terrorize civilians, destroy infrastructure and starve out populations.
