> Gaza has a sizable coastline, and China has a large number of amphibious assault ships available. They can defend themselves against Israel air attacks
Sorry but this is goofy fan-fiction. No, China does not have the ability to forcibly land in Gaza without huge losses, and then being completely trapped there with no hope of resupply. That's an incredibly long supply line.
Indeed, anyone who knows anything about China’s long-range logistics knows that direct military conflict would be suicidal for China.
Their only chance would be to make a bet that attacking them would be politically unacceptable.
