In a field of shit, pointing at a specific turd and shouting "Look at that shit" is at best redundant, at worst sleazy propagandistic and hipocrite bollocks.
China's present day level of support for atrocity is nothing compared with most of the West's active support (diplomatic, economic and even with weapons) for the the present day equivalent of the Nazis committing a Genocide in Gaza.
Even what Russia is doing in Ukraine (with the support of China) is nowhere close to that shit if measured in terms of civilian casualties as a percentage of the population (even if including military casualties, it's still well below the levels of bloodshed in Gaza).
We would need to go back to the time of Mao to find China supporting atrocities at such a level.
That "atrocities" flag is best waved from the top of the moral high ground, not from the top of a pile of Palestinian children's bones.
