Yes, but because it doesn’t substantively have diplomatic relations with most of the world, it has very little incentive to do anything but swing at opponents (speaking truth the vast majority of the time, granted). I don’t think anyone could seriously assert that in a world where it wasn’t sanctioned it would remotely resemble its current position in terms of presenting geopolitical philippics, and would probably be “stern condemnation” this and that action at best toward anything but its enemies in East Asia (who it might retain this same fury toward), and would often be more conciliatory.
It’s definitely nice that someone is saying it who isn’t directly embroiled in the conflict, though.
As in it would take a posture like China if it wasn’t sanctioned? Mostly, yeah, but I can’t imagine them playing nice even in word with all of the RoK, RoC, and Japan (though their hostility would be less materially substantial because they’d surely try to maintain trade, so like the US to China pre-Trump 2). I think they would still (correctly) call them imperial running-dogs. They’d probably take China’s attitude toward states like Israel, though.
