Perhaps, but isn't the Suez Canal the only reasonable way to ship bulk goods between Europe and Asia? Doesn't China depend heavily on access to the European markets that these attacks disrupt? I would think that that would outweigh their other interests here.

ignoring what you learned from us political thoric... what do you think would happen to China if all sea trade halted today?
Famine?
china is mostly self sufficient on food. or can do with local Thai or Philippines just fine.

for context, they buy all the soy from USA and Brazil just to feed pigs because their middle class exploded and now want premium food.

see, you're still thinking under the political taking points of USA and not looking at actual data.
