China’s foreign policy lately is to attempt talks to reach peace agreements. This is no different. As much as we’d like them to be like the USSR that took a clear stance against imperialism and injustice, the PRC is taking a different approach.
China’s economy relies on shipping trillions of dollars of goods worldwide to customers across the globe.
A group striking shipping in the worlds most heavily traveled waters drives up costs, insurance, and is generally bad for business.
It doesn’t mean they don’t agree ideologically, but it’s harming China’s economy and they aren’t happy.
Pragmatism, feels dirty sometimes but keeps you on track for longer towards bigger goals.
