There still a lot of time until China becomes a superpower equal to the US. Until that happens, Israel has plenty of time to slice up Palestine.

Israel indeed invested early on China, but that's just an investment, it hasn't switched sides (yet).

From my point of view Israel has at least until 2040 to free ride on Western influence. After that, it can cut a deal with Palestine which would be massively better for Israel than if it had done the deal 10 years ago, or today.

you are not answering the question "what happens afterwards?" You are basically kicking the can down the road hopping the Arabs to give up and other countries to ignore.

It is right that it will take China a long time to be equal to US in the whole word stage, BUT in western Asia, with SA and Iran reconcile, it is China, Russia, Iran and Arabs on one side and Israel and US on the other side already. US' days is numbered.

I assure you that just like the Jew fought thousands of years to rebuilt their state, so do the Arabs. Also I assure you that although China is not going to do anything forcefully on behalf of Arabs but China is certainly not going to protect Israel from Arabs when China agrees that Arabs have their point. If Israel ignores China's offer, all its past investment may be wasted.

Anglo mouthpiece two years ago:

America is most effective when we work with our allies,” Raimondo said. “If we really want to slow down China’s rate of innovation, we need to work with Europe.”

“They’re ripping off our IP, they are not playing by the rules,” Raimondo added. “It’s not a level playing field. And so we need to hold their feet to the fire to make sure that they do that,” she said, adding that Beijing is “not living up to the agreements that they made.”

Whatever happened to “holding china’s feet to the fire”?

What the hell, annalena? Were you expecting to find a husband on this trip? Chinese men generally don’t go for shengnu, least of all agents of white supremacy.

I don't know why you think the Arab countries (leadership from a strategic POV) have such a hard on against Israel nowdays. This is not the 1980s anymore.

I think you place too much importance into religious ties when recent events have clearly shown that Arab leadership couldn't give two shits about it when it doesnt suit them.

Iran huffed and puffed for a bit, and the Arabs dropped Palestine like a radioactive material to get benefits from Israel with Abraham Accords. That's your "brotherhood" and "friendship" right there

why do you think the Jews were so hard to rebuild their state after thousands years and Jews did even have a leadership for those years? Are they all humans having the same desires?

You seem to calculate human as machines and numbers without desire and emotion.

Strategic diplomacy isn't the same thousands of years ago as it is today. That should be obvious enough

You seem to calculate human as machines and numbers without desire and emotion.

I am just calculating the most realistic actions for each country. For example, do you imagine MBS going to a sudden powertrip and going against Israel unprovoked?

Countries are ruled by humans, so human emotions are of course involved. But we are talking about strategic actions here, not meaningless statements. Strategic decisions are performed by the deep state / national security establishment of each country.

I honestly can't see the national security establishment of a strategically mature country to make such a strange decision. Of course noone could be certain, I am just saying its unlikely.

Until 2040 Israel should be safe enough IMO, and after that, Palestine would be weakened to such a degree that Israel could take a step "back", give face to the Arabs, and agree to a deal with Palestine

You are assuming that everything Israel did and has been doing so far is due to Israel being invincible. It is not, it is actually the US enabling. You are also assuming that US empire will last forever, and there is never a day when US is too weak to bother what happens to Israel.

The Israelis are far less confident than you. Therefor Israel has been trying to find backups since its establishment, be it EU or China or even Russia. Just tell you one thing about Israel. Israel recognized PRC on January 9th 1950 being the first country in the region, well before US and many European countries. Funny enough, ROC recognized Israel on March 1st 1949, but Israel turned that down even though PRC is not established yet. That explains how much security guarantee that Israel want, or how much trust they have on US (far from enough).

It would be stupid for any Israeli politician not preparing a place and compromise for the post-US world order in exchange for Arab's compromise and a new guarantor. The only able guarantor after US is China and China disagree with Israel's occupation of west bank. So China isn't going to stop Arabs in fighting for west bank or Syrians to fight for Golan height at the least.

I have twice asked Jewish people (Israeli and ethnic Jew) the questions "do you think US will be there for Israel forever? why not make a good deal when you still have the upper hand?". There was no answer but the expression of "what can we do?"

If it is true Israel is looking for alternative backers such as China, then what does Israel offer to China and what sort of settlement are they looking for? If it is merely existing as originally proposed 2 states then it is fairly obtainable. However Israel still has the upper hand in some areas and they likely want something more favorable. The more favorable to Israel the less Muslim world will get. China need to balance the interest of both party based on China's own interest. What would be a realistic settlement China can give to Israel?

Here is Germany getting added to "countries China doesn't bother meeting with" list. That list already has UK and USA. She not only discussed nothing of value. She is also making the trip a material for her ideological preachings.

Surely its time to mark these Chinese students? They are all spies

We need to talk about how the US spies on its own people and the UN.

China's basic position is the two state solution and UN partitioned boundary. China would not propose more details than that on principle level. On this level it is up to the Arabs to convince Israel by force if necessary. I think staying on the principle and not giving specifics is the way China balance it, it is actually the competing parties balancing each other.

The two states solution is NOT possible with US presence. US and its Jewish lobby group gives many Israelis the impression that Israel can grab and hold on for ever. With this impression in mind, the hardcore Israelis will never see the need for a two state solution.

Very important to remember is that China will not present a deal what who can get. It is similar to China's position on Ukrainian crisis or SA-Iran negotiation.
