Like, Xi coming out in a military uniform declaring the official establishment of the fourth international and an open invite to all current BRICS members, war against Israel, and a fatwa against the uh imperial powers (fuck off fbi).

Or maybe Xi steps down to be replaced by motherfucking mao-shining

sicko-wistful

Would you make the same arguments about the USSR and the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? I'm sure there were many at the time who decried Stalin for not marching on Berlin immediately. But had he done so the imperial powers would have united against him, and the USSR would have fallen. The USSR did what it had to do to beat the Nazis. Even if its actions don't pass an ideological purity test that is the reality.

The same goes for China now. Any overtly agressive move it makes risks allying the imperialist countries, which are currently starting to squabble amongst themselves, against it. China is being catious yes, but would you too not be catious if you had humanities future on your shoulders?

Also what part of the global socialist project is being harmed? The DPRK only exists because of China. Laos and Vietnam are being helped a ton, and are benefitting greatly from their relationship with China. Cuba is being given aid in getting solar panels, and food production setup despite massive challenges getting any goods into Cuba.

Those are the only socialist nations today. Do we expect China to start exporting its revolution abroad by force? What exactly is it you want China to do?

It could disavow Israel and stop working with it. That'd be nice. Plus like 90% of the world is anti-Israel at this point so it would only piss off America and Israel and Germany.

Israel is a disgusting fascist apartheid state so i understand the desire there, but its also basically Americas achilles heel. Its been known to steal American secrets and sell them to its enemies to make a buck and im guessing thats why China doesnt cut ties. Theyre using Israel to undermine the US most likely.

The issue is we dont know why they are doing what they do. We can speculate like i just did but who knows. All we can really do is hope they have a good reason for keeping ties with the Israelis for now, and that it'll pay off.

Its not like China is unaware that Israel is evil. And many of their fellow BRICS members are going hard against it. So they must have some reason for doing what they do. We just dont know what it is.
