China is sending aid to Gaza, is pressuring regional partners to stop infighting, and Chinese weapons are "accidentally" ending up in Palestinian hands. Chinese shipping is blatantly showcasing the viability of Yemen's sanctions by restricting shipments to Israel in exchange for transiting the Red Sea (putting the ships at risk of getting caught in a US/UK strike). China, in general, has a policy off no-military-intervention outside of it's immediate vicinity and hasn't fired ammunition at an enemy since the fall of the Soviiet Union, and hasn't fought at scale since 1979. China does not express its power with "who has a bigger stick."

Are we also forgetting that China mediated the Iran-KSA rapprochement, which had direct implications on the Israel-KSA relationship?
