Pakistan also refuses to recognize atrocities committed by China of its Muslim population. Is it not hypocrisy?

Look at the history of China to understand its motives. When the Europe was colonizing the whole world with their "fire power" and Navy, China was the inventor of the "Gun powder" and it had a massive fleet of ships than Europe. But they only did trade and were not interested in expansion.
Then, when India was under the British Raj, China fought two wars in the 18th and 19th Century, known as "Opium wars". They were subdued by the British through the smuggling of Opium, in exchange of Tea. In those wars, China lost Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Then there was a bloodshed in the name of religion by the "Taiping Rebellion", where more than 50 million people were butchered.
After that, the current system of China evolved, having some major attributes, which "WE" need to understand:
1- Zero tolerance for drugs
2- Zero tolerance for religious fundamentalism
3- Non-expansionist system of dominance.
Keeping in view these three traits of Chinese strategy, we should know that China is not going to spare anyone trying to radicalize any of its religious community, be it Muslims. We have already seen TTP in our parts of the country. Whereas, there are reports that just like Arab Spring, some world powers were working on the Uyghurs in China as well. But China nipped the evil in the bud.
Secondly, China is a system of non-expansionist system of dominance. It only focuses on trade. But, as it had previously been deceived by the British, therefore, it is hungry to defend its boundaries. Just like the British stole the recipe of "Tea processing" from China, they now fear the Romans, even if they bring gifts. So the Chinese system is basically focused on the defense of its borders and it can go to any length to preserve itself.
Having said that, it seems quite improbable that China would ever threaten Israel, as it has some serious backdoor channels with Israel that provides China with the latest defense systems.
Secondly, China will not tolerate any sort of religious fundamentalism on its soils. Be it Muslims or whoever.
Thirdly, China is nowhere near to engage any country in a tug of war and set its foot down at any soil. Be it Palestine. China only sides with the majority to keep its business relations working with those countries. Otherwise, Chinese do not have an iota of interest in Palestine and/or Israeli occupation. They are only concerned about themselves and their borders alone.
