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.
The reservoir water level continued to lower while we enjoyed our long shower.
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.
He looked behind the door and didn’t like what he saw.
USAID’s feeding of the needy was a fig leaf over its more nefarious work.
He would only survive if he kept the fire going and he could hear thunder in the distance.
Obviously not.
USAID 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.
Someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didn’t and they don’t recommend anyone else do it either.

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.

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.
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.
Ah yes, the classical “only their actions matters” response that all racists use
Tell me about it.
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.
