>China is very anti-Israel

That's just completely false. China and Israel has always had a decently warm relationship, so much so Israel was selling weapons to China until the U.S. forced them to stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Israel_relations...

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one place where they have disagreement, but overall the two countries are on friendly terms.

And you do know Voice of America is an U.S. government funded propaganda outlet right?

The answer is somewhere in between. China is more aligned to the east and Israel is firmly aligned to the US. So China implicitly picks the opposite side but does so "gently" because they want to profit off the west and not alienate it too much.

They would very much like to see Israel knocked down a peg as Israel serves as a demo of the US army capabilities.
