This kinda sounds like BS. Article doesn't mention economic relations changing. If China is still Israel's second or third largest trading partner, can one really say they are burning all their bridges?

Libs can because their understanding is just vibes based. Material realities like China and Isreal maintaining the same trade relationship don't regusrer fir them

Changes in economic relations have happened but are still pretty limited, like more strict enforcement with dual purpose export regulations, which have angered Israeli officials and importers:

Israelis are concerned with the enforcement of regulations, saying that it reflects the supposed pro-Palestinian stance that Chinese authorities have taken.

"It is clear to us that there is a direct link to the war," the unnamed official told Ynet.

Some Israeli businesspeople have gone to the extent of claiming that Beijing has imposed sanctions on "Israel" for enforcing regulations.

"The Chinese are imposing a kind of sanction on us. They don't officially declare it, but they are delaying shipments to Israel," an industrialist said.

"This has never happened to us before. We are talking about many different types of components. In electronic products, there are tens of thousands of components, but if even one component doesn't arrive, we cannot deliver the product," he complained.
