Wish China was more pro Palestine

I think China is pro-Palestine, but to avoid "rocking the boat" they have to try to appear as neutral.

Yeah, they like to appear neutral with many issues in geopolitics. I hope they go more mask off in the coming decades as the US continues to weaken but unfortunately it does appear to be a genuine cultural philosophy more than just a pragmatic farce.

With China's foreign policy blunders in the past I actually prefer them being more hands off. Given that was in the 70's and I believe the CPC has learned from past mistakes but still. Maybe the situation changes where it becomes critical for China to intervene but currently I don't think it would achieve much but delivering ammunition to the west to escalate their conflict with China even faster than they are already doing.

I've been getting that sentiment lately as well. I can understand China's issue with not wanting to appear as aggressive or as "unfairly biased" and I do worry as well that it is a genuine philosophy, which while very different from neoliberal "philosophy", still hits some of the same unfortunate notes.

It's helpful to remember though that after over a century of colonial domination, China definitely still has the collective cultural memory of what it's like being strangled, abused, enslaved and molested by colonial powers and foreign agents, so they are very hesitant to even somewhat challenge other countries in internal or interpersonal affairs, but that kind of thinking has its limits.

China's foreign policy has pretty much always been dogshit . In 1971 ,when Pakistan massacred 3 million Bengalis , China allied with the US, supported them

dont forget them invading vietnam, supporting polpot, supporting the muhajideen, and allying with the US against the USSR. I love China but their foreign policy is some of the worst I've seen for a major socialist country.

wait. did they actually help? as far as i can tell, they remained neutral and wouldn’t help india. (again this is questionable policy, not to mention 10M bengali hindu refugees).

I don't see how this is in China's interests at this point. Committing to a position right now just presents more risks than potential rewards.
