    Last thing I've heard is China would be supporting Palestine/Hamas. If that were to translate into weapon supplies, it could turn into a hairy situation.

      China hasn't even supported Russia with weapon supplies. This is fear mongering a what-if that contradicts Chinese foreign policy in the first place. China's foreign policy is one of fierce neutrality for anyone not encroaching on their own sovereignty, often to a fault.

      China considers both Israel and Palestine to be strategically important allies in the region, so there's no way they're going to pick a side in this conflict unless that side is in support of one of China's more significant allies (Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.)

        This is fear mongering

        Possible. To my excuse, I heard it on TV (on a supposedly reputable channel, but still).

        Another thing I've heard, is that apparently Russia would've been supplying Hamas with the NATO weapons they've been seizing in Ukraine from among the ones supplied as NATO aid.

      That would be a Novum, wouldn't it? China supplying weapons in a large quantity to foreign organisation's.
