Wow I rarely say this about Chinese government but based.

They're just reading the room. They're not doing it because they think israel is bad, they're doing it because it's economically disastrous to do so. Within the next few years the US will be in the same position if it keeps going the way it is. We'll be too "high risk."

since the outbreak of the war in Israel, Beijing has classified Israel as a “high-risk area” and imposed a ban on any new Chinese investments in the country,

This is not a moral standing by China, it's 100% pragmatic deeming Israel a high risk area.
There is no reason to call China "based" or any other such crazy comments we see here.

... since the outbreak of the war in Israel, Beijing has classified Israel as a “high-risk area” and imposed a ban on any new Chinese investments in the country.

The South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong-based Chinese propaganda outlet, published just last week that China, Israel continue to collaborate in science and tech despite unrest in Gaza.

While Beijing supports Palestine and has a fractious relationship with Tel Aviv’s closest ally, cutting-edge innovations keep them together.

In a report published just now in February 2026, Lloyd's Bank explicitly says,

Chinese investment in Israel has grown rapidly in recent years, particularly in software, IT services and consumer electronics.

Trade between China and Israel is also at an all-time high since the outbreak of the pandemic, and this hasn't notably changed since the Gaza war (with Chinese exports to Israel have always been higher than imports from Israel, so Israel runs a trade deficit with China).

It's important to note that this Chinese Ballet Vision fund cites losses of its investment since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, and it seems this is the real issue here. China is heavily investing and trading with Israel. Nothing has changed.

This is not much more than propaganda, the numbers paint a different picture. China-Israel business ties are stronger than ever, despite Gaza.

Wow, I do have to admit that China is on a roll these days.

Then again, it ain't hard acting like a nice guy with trump around.

This is an objectively good thing.

Out of all the countries out there.... China?!? is setting the example? (although still a bit late). The western world is going to shit. China is a rising Phoenix. What a fucking dystopia we live in. Because China is still a totalitarian regime.

A simple case of killing 2 birds with 1 stone: An economically sane decision can be presented as being ethical to generate good publicity with saps all around the world. Particularly effective now that the USA is in such a bad place that people like to sing China's praises instead.

Wait, this broken clock has the right time on it

Fucking China showing how it's fucking done! Way to go!
