What do you expect China to do? Enter the war? Iranian attacks wouldn't be this effective without China, and China helped them get rid of Mossad operatives.

Better anti air defenses would have been cool. Or those hypersonic anti ship missiles.

There was a lot of talk of Chinese weapons systems but all we're seeing is Shaheds and Iranian domestic missiles.

Meanwhile NATO is sending troops and weapons from every country including the European ones. And they even participate in intercepting Iranian missiles. Looks like Capitalist international solidarity is far superior.

Both of these are made using materials from China. Rocket fuel precursor and duel use drone components (also SAM components which seem to have had some luck downing Israeli drones).

Or those hypersonic anti ship missiles.

Iran are using their old stock they haven't even started using their own hypersonic FATTAH-1s what makes you think they'd bring out the even more advanced Chinese stock they might have?

Almost like when the current hegemon and it's vassal's have nuclear weapons and they decide to take direct action against non nuclear powers MAD makes it near impossible for rival nuclear powers to step in personally.

Please don't take this the wrong way I'm not trying to call you out or any of that nonsense, but from the 2 of your posts where we've had brief interactions it feels like you have a set outcome in mind (China bad) and are twisting yourself in knots to to reach that point irrespective of facts or material reality.
