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.
… But not for Uyghurs
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 😫
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.
