China’s foreign minister said Saturday that Israel has gone too far in responding to last week’s invasion by Hamas, China’s official news agency reported.
Speaking to Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Israel’s actions have extended beyond self-defense.
According to Xinhua, China has an interest in helping resolve the conflict and the underlying issues involving the Palestinian population.
For what it’s worth, China and Taiwan circa 2015 had an implicit agreement that the strait of Taiwan was split along the median line into territorial waters: neither side would cross without following the rules of crossing sovereign airspace.
Then, the US ran FONOPS through the strait (declaring it as international waters), China is flying through international airspace, and people are complaining.
