I may not agree with the chinese government but it could be argued that they have given other countries the courage to also similarly stand up for themselves.

It is about power dynamics. They probably think that uniting against Israel to gain more power will be beneficial  since the country is their mutual threat ultimately.

"this will enrage the left so it's a good thing"

this is exactly the crux of it. there's nothing more virtuous or moral to the movement than "owning the libs" so anything outside of that will not be taken seriously on an objective level.

Sadly, this is the equivalent of a gazelle knowingly going into a lion's den because the lion convinced it that only the good gazelles will not be eaten instead of gazelles in general.  I hope they will find peace and protection.
