China has reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state after Donald Trump’s surprise proposal that the United States should take control of Gaza.
“Gaza belongs to Palestinians and is an inseparable part of Palestinian territory,” Chen Xiaodong, China’s vice-minister for foreign affairs, told a group of ambassadors from Arab states in a meeting in Beijing on Friday.
Any arrangements regarding the future of Gaza must respect the will of the Palestinian people, Chen added, according to a statement from the foreign ministry.
“China has always firmly supported the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people and the effective jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority over all Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank,” he said.
He added that Beijing would continue to maintain “close communication and collaboration” with Arab countries.
Friday’s meeting was held upon the request of the Arab states, the Chinese foreign ministry said.
The statement added that the ambassadors had said they “expected China to continue to play a constructive role in safeguarding international fairness and justice and supporting Palestine’s legitimate national rights”.
On Thursday, Guo Jiakun, the foreign ministry’s spokesman, also underlined Beijing’s long-held position against the forced displacement of people, saying that Gaza should never be turned into a “bargaining chip for political gains”.
Beijing has been a long-standing supporter of Palestinian statehood and has repeatedly said that a two-state solution is the only way out of the cycle of violence in the region.
I’m amazed how quickly my personal negative feelings about China are getting diluted right now.
Let’s not forget that China is actively engaged in political and information warfare against the West. Any hypocrisy they can point out will just contribute to the fracturing of alliances between the West and the rest of the world. So it very much benefits them, strategically and financially, to point out stuff like this. Not that I think the people of Gaza will care about the selfish reasons a superpower might have for speaking up for them
If they want to score brownie points by supporting human rights who are we to stop them.
America should counter the Chinese propaganda by advocating for a one state solution called Palestine.
That’s literally what USAID was for. For spreading anti-communist, pro-capitalist, sentiment by feeding the needy. Until the world’s
evilestrichest man got rid of it and showed how nakedly corrupt the US political system isUSAID’s feeding of the needy was a fig leaf over its more nefarious work.
It was no secret that USAID was an arm of the State Department and used as a smokescreen for CIA business. But that won’t matter to all the mothers who will watch their infants die because Musk pulled the plug with no warning
Obviously not.
Don’t worry, they’re still abusing minorities in their own territory
I love how effective Americas anti-china propaganda is that anyone can simply refer to the Uighurs to counter any pro-china statement.
Big bad china must have gone into a bunch of mosques and taken the nice Uighurs into concentration camps because china hates Muslims, or something. Surely nothing else had happened.
Yup if we’re expecting any wealthy and powerful person anywhere to do the morally right thing we’ll only be left standing out in the rain. But it’s not rain. It’s piss. Turns out every civilization that killed the wealthy and powerful when times got tough ultimately took the only path weren’t so backwards.
Yeah, that seemed like a big deal a few months ago. Now it just starts to look like they were ahead of the curve.

With their own ongoing genocide
The US propaganda machine’s “Uyghur genocide” psyop has been debunked six ways to Sunday already.

I wonder when the non Western world will finally drop the “two state” boondoggle. Obviously the West will never give it up, but surely people on the outside can see how it’s not a real solution?
Is the real solution to just make them all Israeli citizens and to heal the division by taking care of the innocents they have terrorized and oppressed.
If they could fix this problem there is perhaps hope for humanity. I want to be an optimist, but the world seems to have a different plan.
The real solution is to make them all Palestinian citizens after deporting and arresting the ~50% of Israelis that supported the genocide long after international bodies called it genocide.

It’s hardly a genocide to try, jail, and rehabilitate Nazis. Over half the Israeli population supports Nazi actions. If we fold the Palestinian population into that population of Nazis, their lives won’t get better. We’d have to spend centuries as a global community commiting third party police and military to protect Palestinian Israelis from all others, while still calling them by their colonizers name.
Instead, we return the state of Palestine. We deport the Nazis. We let the state of Palestine set the terms of their return and settlement, should that be something they have in their hearts to do.
I’m sorry to say but the Holocaust wasn’t shit at this point. Palestinians have had it worse at the hands of Zionists. Asking the victims to forever bare the names of their victimizers is crazy.
Imagine telling the Jews to just get back to Nazi Germany with vague assurances they’ll be real citizens this time but keeping the name Nazi Germany.

Look, I’m Italian, I live in Germany and the resurgence of nazi-fascism in these two countries is not due exclusively to the fact they didn’t purge nazi and fascist supporters back then, but it’s still a very big factor. They never went away, they just went into hide, learn to disguise themselves and came back as soon as the conditions were good. People who were raised fascist in their families and inherited their money, values and goals. There’s a line connecting them and it’s clear now we would all be better off if after the liberation, the Americans or the Soviets went on to purge entirely those structures of power, instead of trying to integrate them in a democratic society.
I don’t think the State of Judea can be ever reintegrated into Israel, let alone in a democracy. They are past any chance for rehabilitation, being in a self-destructive genocidal frenzy that even Netanyahu probably won’t be able to stop.
I don’t really disagree, it is just I hope for something better than the train wreck of hate and destruction we face.
Integration would be the best way to solve the wound on humanity that has been created. I fear we have no hope if this cannot be solved peacefully. Having two societies raised to hate each other is sickening to say the least.
…you have no idea the scale of destruction Israel has wrought. Educate yourself.
We will never agree with your current level of education and this conversation cannot continue under the current site rules.

Great that they’re supporting Palestine diplomatically I guess, but so far they’re still trading with israel, even if with some “bureaucratic obstacles”
I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics. The USSR was openly funding armed Palestinian resistance like the PFLP.
Yeah, the fact that China continues to have relations with Israel is a really bad look.
I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics.
That right there is why I’m really worried about the next 4 or more years right now as a citizen of the USA. Like, we’re just going to create this power vacuum through dumbass Don’s executive fun time and China will happily exploit that and lap up the material rewards.
I feel like I’m watching a game of Civilization get played by a moron. It’s excruciating. Only way any of it makes sense is that Trump literally is a Russian agent because otherwise why the fuck is he trying to drive our country off a cliff?
The previous president was a literal zombie. At some point you have to realize America is ran by billionaires who do not care about anything except short term profits
No war but class war, not disagreeing there, but also it’s pretty clear there are policy changes and consequences for our elections.
LOL… But Taiwan is ours. phucking asshats everywhere
… But not for Uyghurs
Supposedly that’s a US psyop. Probably according to those downvoting you.
Investing billions in raising the quality of life so people don’t do terrorism is not genocide and never will be.
