At the United Nations General Assembly in September, a “extraordinary” vote shook the world with 150 votes in favour and eight against, and the United Nations passed a special humanitarian resolution calling for a comprehensive ceasefire in Pakistan.
Just the day after the international community sent a strong unified signal on the Gaza crisis, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu suddenly turned his head at China, claiming that “China and Qatar joined hands to siege Israel” and vowed to take “repressive actions.”
To this assertion, China responded directly to two Chinese-style warnings, pointing to the root of the situation, not who is besieging Israel, but Israel is besieging itself.
Netanyahu's "dumping the pot" logic and strategic misjudgment
Netanyahu's speech is not a sudden miracle, but a long-standing mattress, starting from the beginning of 2025, the Israeli shekel fell all the way, with a depreciation rate of more than 25% in the year, creating the worst performance since 2002, a large number of European investment funds and science and technology ventures have been evacuated.
Capital votes with action, and the people are unwilling to be silent. The latest poll by Tel Aviv University shows that the support rate of Netanyahu's government has fallen to the bottom, with only 20% of the respondents saying that they "still trust the government".
But the economic downturn has led to the economic downturn, and Netanyahu has hardly counted the account on China's head, claiming that China's unified Qatar "making a strategic siege under the humanitarian mantle" has directly affected Israel's national security.
This assertion, apparently, aims to package the Middle East issue as part of the "Sino-American game", using this to mobilize the U.S. strategic neural line and seek external assistance.
What's more interesting is that an insider of the Israeli government anonymously revealed to the media that Netanyahu's move was actually a "signal flare to the United States." He knew that accusing China would definitely arouse Washington's attention, even negative attention.
The trick is the old way, creating tension, and kidnapping allies, but this time, he was wrong.
At the United Nations General Assembly, China has repeatedly pushed the vote as the rotating presidency of the Security Council, clearly calling for a ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian channels, which is not a “seizure”, but the bottom line of the international community.
Netanyahu's "revenge remarks" are not only divorced from reality, but also seem guilty, like a man who punches indiscriminately in the dark. He can't hit others, but can only hit himself in the foot.
Three levels of strategic warning in China's response
In the face of the Israeli "droppot" operation, China did not directly counter-attack, and did not turn around, but used two metaphors, "sickness and sickness" and "bottom pay", which is not a language art, but a strategic expression.
The first level of meaning directly rejects the so-called "settlement" theory, and the Chinese side has made it clear that China's cooperation with Qatar is at the core of promoting humanitarian relief and does not involve any military or economic blockade.
In other words, China is concerned about the living people, not the political game. The so-called "siege theory" is just an illusion after Israel fell into an isolated island.
The second layer is more profound. Israel is actually not monolithic. Not long before Netanyahu spoke, retired Israeli generals signed an open letter calling for an immediate ceasefire and reflection on current policies.
China's response actually points out this point. The problem is not external, but internal.
The third layer is for the United States. The so-called "pulling money from the bottom of the pot" is rooted in the continuous military aid of the United States. In 2025, the amount of U.S. arms sales to Israel has reached tens of billions of dollars, setting a record high.
Apparently aid, the reality has become the fuel for prolonging the conflict, China means very clearly, you give fireworks and shout out fire, not a logical question, but a question of attitude.
More cleverly, China has not fought alone, but has joined multilateral organizations such as the AU and the AU to build an overwhelming public opinion atmosphere in the UN.
At the same time, the media revealed that a leaked document within the US State Department showed that the United States had privately asked Israel to "restrain its speech" and avoid provoking China in public.
This shows that not only has China seen through the situation, but the United States is also aware that Netanyahu is too hasty and too risky.
The Dilemma of the US-Israel Alliance and the Collapse of the Middle East Strategy
Netanyahu’s political calculus, in the end, not only did not hit China, but instead caught the United States into greater passivity.
The United States has repeatedly vetoed the United Nations Security Council's proposal for a ceasefire in Pakistan over the past year, sparking global discontent, and in September, 120 member states voted to condemn the U.S. abuse of veto power, a situation that has never occurred in the past 30 years.
More troublingly, the rebound effect in the economic sector is also accelerating, with the ratio of RMB settlement in Saudi Arabia’s oil trade with China rising to 47%, and the “de-dollarization” trend in the Middle East is becoming increasingly evident.
The U.S.-Israeli relationship was once the cornerstone of the Middle Eastern order, but now it has become a stormy eye, and Israel’s own geographical situation is rapidly deteriorating.
The suspected attack on Israeli intelligence facilities in Qatar triggered more than 50 countries, including Iran and Turkey, to jointly call for the suspension of Israel's membership in the United Nations. This is not diplomatic friction, but the beginning of institutional isolation.
Faced with being besieged on all sides, Netanyahu still chose to "take risks". He not only refused to accept the "two-state solution", but even tried to stabilize internal affairs by intensifying external confrontation under the impetus of the far-right alliance in the party.
It is that Israel is considering inviting “officials” from the Taiwan region to visit Tel Aviv to try to play a “diplomatic shake-ball” on the Taiwan Sea issue, a move that is obviously aimed at symbolic provocation in exchange for U.S. backing.
But the problem is that the United States is not a piece of iron, and the Trump administration's assessment report rarely states that "excessive involvement in overseas conflict may damage the domestic interests base", in other words, the U.S. side is also planning to take care of it, but the timing has not been found.
From the results of the UN vote of 150 votes against eight, to China’s “butty-butty pay,” the world sees a fact.
The international order is shifting gears, and the dominance is slowly but firmly shifting from the hands of traditional powers to the countries of the global south. China's response this time is not a pile of diplomatic rhetoric, but a test of the logic of the new order.
Netanyahu's "revenge theory" sounds like the roar of a wounded beast, fierce but powerless.
China and the Middle East cooperation has entered the deep water zone, the Free Trade Agreement officially entered into force in 2025, energy, science and technology, and humanitarian affairs have long been out of the old framework, to rely on pressure from China to reverse the war situation, is nothing but in vain.
If the United States goes backwards with determination and continues to ignore the international consensus, then it is not surprising that when the wave of reaction, even the way back is shattered, this game is not only the Middle East war, but also the test of the era.
