    I understand China’s non-intervention policy, but I still find it frustrating that they refuse to weild any of the power they hold in many cases.

    I usually just use that frustration as motivation to continue agitating in the core, as it’s our fault that these crises are happening in the first place.

    Though I won’t say that I’m not the slightest bit annoyed that China hasn’t sanctioned Israel as we’ve been attempting to pressure our university into divestment.

    I’ve definitely expressed on multiple occasions, when exasperated by university administrators, “what’s the point of challenging American Hedgomony when every Palestinian will be slaughtered before you do anything.”

    Usually I just go back to focusing on whatever is our next action because I know I’ve got no control over how the PRC operates so dwelling on hypothetical is pointless.

      Same, it’s just my frustration with the PRC. I don’t have an ounce of influence but playing chess doesn’t matter if your opponent just flips the table over and beats the shit out of the chess master. They are literally advertising that they are going to fuck up China and break it apart. Like wtf does it take to know when someone will never be your friend.
