nooo you don't understand China is actually sitting and doing absolutely nothing despite the cargo planes landing in Iran, multiple air transport/cargo reports between China and Russia and B&R initiative. You forget that China is supposed to deploy it's entire military in the middle-east against Israel and the United States singlehandedly while Russia is bogged in Ukraine. /s

on a more serious note, I genuinely think Israel/U.S would "indirectly" try and strike a Chinese military vessel if it got in the Mediterranean because of it's logistical isolation, to test it's capabilities and possibly even try to capture it.
