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.
It's not about the money. It's about conducting normal business regardless of who they are. That's China's will. If it was about money, China wouldn't have just kept sending free money to Palestine through out the war.

So should China stop sending aid in addition to sending workers to Israel? If China does something for one side, it will do something for the other side. Neutral is neutral.
Oh, so with that aid they paid the Palestinians for the stolen land on which they build settlements for fascists? Did the Palestinians agree to hand over this land in exchange for some food packages? No? Well than that's just like aiding a thief and then throwing some pocket change at the helpless victim as they lie on the ground. Wondering how the value of these construction materials and all the work hours compares to the aid.
Ridiculous straw man argument and false equivalence.
China banned drone sales to Ukraine and Russia so they definitely do apply trade restrictions when faced with pressure to do so.
