When you veto something in the security council what you're actually saying is "I'm against this and I am able and willing to use my hard power to prevent this from happening, if you don't believe me come try me bro". You better mean it because if the other powers think you're bluffing and do it anyway and you don't put your money where your mouth is then you've just cheapened your veto power and you look like a clown.

China is currently pretty busy and Gaza is far away and not easy to project Chinese hard power to. A veto now will be a bluff and most likely US will challenge it by force.
No China didn't veto because arab countries including Palestine itself supported it even though it was not a great resolution
