They were asking about bombs and invasions in the literal sense, not metaphorical. I'm sure if you asked someone in Gaza or Iraq if they would rather be subjected to more of America's bombing and war crimes, or China's abstract, metaphorical "economic colonialism" they would pick China in a heartbeat.

if Gaza was neighboring China and treated China like it does its neighbors, it would be treated quite differently by China. For an illustrative example, see Uighurs.

Uyghurs committed frequent acts of terrorism against China throughout the 1990s and 2000s, so you actually don't need to imagine that scenario. The way they are treated by China is like kid's gloves compared to the western-backed Gaza genocide, it's not even close.
> Since 7 October 2023, the IDF has been accused of extrajudicial killing of unarmed Palestinian detainees, doctors, and healthcare workers. Israeli soldiers have summarily executed Palestinian civilians, often in front of their families. They have killed Palestinians waving white flags. In April 2024, mass graves were found containing corpses with their hands tied. The corpses included women and the elderly.
