I think in a very cynical way it could be an advantageous move for them. Let the USA get bogged down in ground operations in the region again against a highly motivated and experienced guerilla force. Not only that but it has the potential to further demoralize the American public of military adventurism. To say it is a "bad move" is only such in regards to the whining of internet leftists and frankly when push comes to shove for China, internet leftists will not provide them with any strategic advantages.

i guess i didn't say it in my comment but i think i was referring more to the constant collaboration with the zionist entity: the drones and the infrastructure and stuff

sure, and the constant collaboration with with iran and other entities supplying the anti-zionist forces. they simply do not see this the way you do. hell, chinese drone companies are selling parts to both russia and ukraine at the same time from the same factories.

which is disappointing for an AES state, and likely to be a mistake. you don't "let the usa get bogged down" by constantly working with their colonies. russia-ukraine is a whole different thing. israel-palestine is american imperialism at its worst. china isn't gonna bring about the victory of the international proletariat, and they're not gonna ensure their own security, by collaborating with the worst excesses of imperialism there are. i've heard they're trying to stem the flow of drones though, so that's heartening, at least. i hope they have an angle for the infrastructure deals, otherwise they're just strengthening zionism at no benefit to anyone besides capital
