    They provide weapons, intelligence, and economic support to Iran. I’m frankly not sure where the whole narrative that they’re not doing much is coming from. Iran certainly seems to think they’re doing enough.

      Correct me if I’m wrong. China acts in a way that’s coherent with an interest in de-escalating the conflict. Which is a rational position, why would China risk nuclear war?

      But on r/TankieTheDeprogram some folks are like, China bad, China doesn’t do enough, where are the Chinese missiles???

      Yeah… Let’s try to avoid a nuclear winter for now.

        Pretty much yeah, China is obviously not looking for a direct confrontation with the US here. The same way, the US is not looking for a direct confrontation with Russia in Ukraine incidentally. I don’t see anybody claiming that the US isn’t helping Ukraine because they haven’t put boots on the ground.
