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 treatment of Uyghurs is unjust and a clear violation of their human rights, but it's nowhere near the level of depravity of the western-backed Gaza Genocide.
