I been thinking lately about this. While Iran, an bourgeois state, can willingly choose not to trade with Israel, the PRC continues to trade with them. Why does this occur? Also, why did China recognize Israel in the first place?
I'd imagine that China's foreign policy is severely constrained by it being one of the few socialist states in a world filled mostly by capitalist and reactionary regimes, and that they likely fear that breaking their non-interventionism could cause of chain reaction of countries they need economic partnerships with getting spooked.
