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.
Turkey is surprisingly quiet here.
Talk is cheap. They could at least put sanctions on Israel.
Xi can you please end trade with Israel, handle rebuilding of Gaza, and fill it with all your best missiles? Pllzzzzzzzzz
LOL… But Taiwan is ours. phucking asshats everywhere
“LOL… but the confederate states of America is ours. Phucking asshats everywhere” -Jefferson Davis
Because the people living there say they arent?
What makes you so sure that Taiwan isn’t part of china? Both the Taiwanese government and the mainland government agree that Taiwan is part of China. So does the usa and every other nation in the world.
Why do you think that Taiwan official name is “republic of china”?
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.
Make them all just citizens with equal voting rights. yes. but not all “israeli citizens.” The name of the state needs to be Palestine because even after the genocide there are still more Palestinians than there are israelis. The existing government system needs to be dismantled because it is clearly broken if a genocidal maniac can rule for decades even while under corruption charges. The IDF need to be disbanded and many of them charged with war crimes. After the majority of the wealthiest israelis leave because they are too racist to live under equal democratic rule, nothing will be left of israel.
Palestinians don’t need israelis to “take care of them” They can take care of themselves. If they can manage the most densely populated city in the world while under a blockade that enforces a near starvation diet with regular raids that arbitrarily kill and imprison the adult male population which the zionists call “mowing the lawn” they can build a functioning state. They need the blockade to be lifted. They need to be allowed to return to the homes their parents and grand parents were forced out of. They can do the rest.
israelis in the other hand have never been able to run a state. the zionist entity has always relied on billions of dollars of aid from the western world. Its entire economy is a gift from the west of highly profitable processing and manufacture jobs that could be done anywhere.
There is no future scenario where Israel or Israelis would be accepted as normal in the region by the masses. The government could make any deals they want, the enmity is deep and won’t go away easily.
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.
Uhh sure, because why not trade one genocide for another. It is only fair right.
It is like we are desperate to repeat the Holocaust over and over and over ad nauseam.
Guilty zionists shouldn’t deal with consequences for their crimes?
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.
Please, you just said jail 50% of the Israeli population. That is most definitely another genocide but you are riding a high right now.
Imagine the Nazi party stopping the genocide and making amends without everyone having to die. I guess when you are blinded by hatred it is impossible to see anything beyond.
I will say that your hatred is probably justified. I think having all Israel leave would be another solution but this would also be a genocide just like having all Palestinians leave. Perhaps a justified genocide. See how that rhymes.
That last bit about the Holocaust is pretty ridiculous. If you are a Holocaust denier just come out and say it. To pretend is wasn’t shit is a disservice to all who died.
Certainly Israel has become the oppressor. It is hard to get accurate measurements but it is clear hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have died throughout the years. This is not the same as millions of Jews and millions of Gypsy, gays, communists, undesirables, etc.
Accusing of holocaust denialism while downplaying the scale of the zionist atrocitied, classic hasbarah.
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.
the Americans or the Soviets went on to purge entirely those structures of power, instead of trying to integrate them in a democratic society.
Sorry to be that guy but the americanos literally hired former nazis, operation paperclip. They even had a former nazi, adolf heusinger, as the highest military authority in NATO.
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 you current level of education and this conversation cannot continue under the current site rules.
It is clear you are just a useful idiot at this point. I am well aware of what is happening.
… But not for Uyghurs
Supposedly that’s a US psyop. Probably according to those downvoting you.
No its not a us psyop they just signal boost it. The architect of the Uyghur genocide lie is a German Christo-Fascist named Adrien Zenz. He has has posted undeniable nazi apologia on twitter. He is part of the “victims of communism” foundation who literally count every killed nazi soldier who invaded Russia or was protecting concentration camps as “victims” of communism.
So its not an American psyop. Its a fascist psyop.
They do a lot more than just signal boost Zenz.
Give me a single picture of a neighbourhood in Xinjiang that looks like a neighbourhood in Gaza. Xinjiang is a 1.5m sq km region, how come there is nothing out there of such a massive place.
There are hundreds of videos of foreign tourists in Xinjiang looking for any sign of a genocide and they can’t find anything, is it possible that you have been lied by the same people that have lied time after time?
The person you replied to just said China is not giving support to Uyghurs.
Someone: A is not supporting B. You: A is not bombing and genociding B and everyone saying so is lying!
Sure, but how is that an argument? You have neither argued for or against the claim that China is not supporting them, and comment OP didn’t say they are bombing and genociding them, just that they are not supporting them, so that’s a bit of weird thing to deny unprompted.
Investing billions in raising the quality of life so people don’t do terrorism is not genocide and never will be.
Uyghurs have joined the labour force, how did China get away with this 😫
I’m amazed how quickly my personal negative feelings about China are getting diluted right now.
Propaganda works. How much aid has China actually given. I think the US is around 5 billion. China is around 3 million and has pledged another 69 million.
Is China wrong? No, any hypocritical entity can always be right twice a day just like a broken clock.
Also, although the US has given a lot of aid they have also given a lot of weapons used to kill Palestinians. So we are not the good guys in all this.
I do find it funny that China gets to play good cop right now. With their own ongoing genocide why not comment on others to distract. It is almost like they learned their lessons from the US.
With their own ongoing genocide
The US propaganda machine’s “Uyghur genocide” psyop has been debunked six ways to Sunday already.
These are slightly different things, of course. Xinjiang’s population is 45% Uyghur, 40% Han roughly. Gaza is almost entirely Palestinian Arabs, and 99% Sunni Islam. And most importantly, China already 100% controls the area whereas Israel does not.
Therefore, even if Xinjiang executed every Uyghur in the area (and I’m not implying they did so, are doing so, or are planning to do so), it wouldn’t cause the same kind of material destruction that has happened in Gaza, because it would be an entirely different kind of an operation.
While technically true, I recommend you read the linked comments, rather than just the images. The comments are where the information actually is.
Oh shit, .ml has joined the convo. Sure we can ignore all the atrocities China has committed because they are the good guys.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/asia-and-the-pacific/east-asia/china/report-china/
I think I will trust Amnesty International over (checks notes) davel from the authoritarian bootlicker instance.
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
Let’s not forget that China is actively engaged in political and information warfare against the West.
BlueAnon conspiracy theorist has arrived
For the record, every major country is enagaged in Political Warfare against their enemies so I’ve said nothing controversial. Secondly, China is not inherantly bad or inherantly virtuous. They participate on the global stage just like everyone else, so you should ask yourself why you immediately dismiss China’s agency here. Finally, and most importantly, China’s approach to Political Warfare is laid out in the Three Warfares doctine, and has been well-documented. You can read more about it here if you’re really interested acting in good faith: https://sci-hub.ru/10.1080/01402390.2013.870071
If not, you can continue to label people who say things you don’t like as conspiracy theorists. Oh and I’m not a Democrat, I’m probably further to the left than most people on this app but I don’t worship or apologise for vast and powerful nation states. Whether that’s China or anyone else.
Edit: spelling
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 was also to send weapons to overthrow countries, and bribe countries into abiding by the US will, and stage color revolutions. To send money into the pockets of Elon for Starlink etc.
Not to deny that people were not helped by it, certainly people were, but overal USAID was a net negative on the world.
I think it’s important to make such arguments without neglecting to point out that some very real, very desperate people are counting on the assistance USAID currently provides. People will die because of this.
A much less evil way to handle this is to reroute the funds to some benign organisation who will carry out the existing functions of USAID. But that’s not what Musk is doing. There’s no nuance. Much like his first month at Twitter, he’s just taking a wrecking ball to the government and seeing what’s left standing. Unfortunately the largest imperialist arms of the US government (State Department, DoD) are still left standing, while the one that is currently relied upon by some of the most desperate souls on the planet has been destroyed.
USAID’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
Tell me about it.
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.
Ah yes, the classical “only their actions matters” response that all racists use
Its such a bad faith notion too, the US response to terrorism was to invade and murder nations abroad and instigate anti-muslim hatred throughout the world, while China response was education and reintegration in modern society. It’s ridiculous how propagandized USians are.
Yeah, that seemed like a big deal a few months ago. Now it just starts to look like they were ahead of the curve.
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.
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.

China was doing that for a long time, too :(
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.
Yeah :(
I was applying for some jobs in china and i saw A LOT of positions for hbrw speakers.
