They aren't closely associated with either side. If Israel attacked the peacekeepers it would be an act of war, against a far superior opponent. And China would take responsibility for ensuring that the Gazans did not attack Israel. Neither side would be happy, but they'd both have means and incentive to maintain a ceasefire.
It wouldn't be an open-ended commitment. They'd plan a transition. The US has a history of botching such transitions, but China often has a different take on things. Perhaps they'd be more successful. And it would put them in a good position to broker a two-state solution.
That seems more productive than just claiming to support negotiations.
Which is basically my way of saying, "Put up or shut up, China." Hamas attacks on Israel are a fact, and any ceasefire requires addressing that. "Just let them shoot you" is not an answer.
China should offer to take refugees. They could home them in hmm Xinjiang?
That's usually the point of having peacekeepers.

Mass internment for ethnic reasons alone, forced labour, sterilization of women, etc. historically have been used to significantly reduce specific populations in size, which appears to be the game plan of the Chinese government.
