US-China trade truce leaves military-use rare earth issue unresolved, sources say: China withholding export of certain military-use rare earth materials. China negotiators in London appeared to link rare earths export to U.S. AI chip curbs (again, no such thing as wasting rare earth leverage)

Netanyahu just said that Iran views Trump as enemy number 1, claims he's a junior partner to Trump. Who starts a war then hides behind another leader?? This is literally throwing rocks and hiding behind big bro

Should China not be more active in these sort of wars? (Israel v Iran)

With the recent Israel-Iran war I'm trying to understand China’s long-term strategy here. The US, NATO, and Israel have been actively reshaping the world military interventions, regime change, economic warfare, and building networks of vassal states and puppet leaders across the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and beyond.

Meanwhile, China seems to be taking a much more passive, economic-focused approach. They build infrastructure, offer loans, and talk cooperation but they don’t intervene when the West destabilizes regions, installs client governments, or ignites proxy wars.

Here's my concern:
If this continues unchecked, won’t China eventually find itself completely surrounded? Economically strong, I guess but isolated politically and strategically, with no real allies and everyone else under Western influence or coercion.

And if the U.S. is clearly preparing for conflict with China who's going to back China when it finds itself cornered? Yes I agree that it’s impossible to militarily conquer China but if the West has everyone on the globe as their proxies then it becomes very easy to isolate and cripple China, without a war or conflict.

So my questions:

Is China playing the long game wisely, or passively watching the net tighten?

Should it be more active in supporting anti-Western powers or forming counter-alliances (BRICS+, Iran, Syria, etc.)?

What happens if everyone else has already been bought or bullied into siding with the West by the time China is forced to fight?

Genuinely curious how others see this.

Latin American leaders at CELAC summit in Honduras call for a united front to tackle Trump tariffs. Sheinbaum said economies in the region must diversify their markets and focus more on "integration and helping each other." (lol @ America, these are the real long term results)

Trump ‘wouldn’t mind China joining G7’. EW. Gross. G7 means nothing without U.S. and China clearly doesn't need U.S. We should never complain about anti-China sentiment, they are so much worse when they want to be closer!
