China Reiterates Support for Palestinian Legitimate National Rights

Beijing (Eurotoday) – On Monday, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said that China stands together with the Palestinian people in their just cause of restoring their legitimate national rights. He also asserted that the Gaza Strip “belongs to the Palestinian people and is an integral part of their territory.

Guo described the situation in Gaza as a “humanitarian disaster” while calling for an all-out ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. 

Why does China insist on upholding the two-state solution?

The spokesperson called on countries “with special influence over Israel” to ensure that Palestinian rights are protected.

“The two-state solution must be unwaveringly upheld, with greater international consensus gathered to reject any unilateral actions that undermine its foundation,”

Guo added.

He voiced Beijing’s readiness to cooperate with the international community to “remain committed to the ceasefire in Gaza, firmly support the Palestinian people’s just cause of regaining their legitimate national rights,” and make steps toward a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the row.

As reported, eleven countries, including Malta, Luxembourg, France, the UK,  Belgium, and Armenia, have announced plans to extend recognition during the UN General Assembly’s 80th session in New York this month, where world leaders will gather for the high-level debate.

What positions has the Chinese leadership maintained on Palestinian rights?

The leadership of China, including Xi Jinping, has maintained a position on the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, the Palestinian National Authority’s authority over all Palestinian territories, and the two-state option as the basis for the resolution of the conflict.

When did China officially recognise Palestine as a state?

According to reports, China recognises Palestine as a state. China has recognised Palestine since November 20, 1988, when the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) announced statehood for Palestine. Shortly after, China established diplomatic relations, and the PLO office in Beijing became the Embassy of the State of Palestine in China in late 1988. 

Since then, the bilateral relations between China and Palestine have been robust. In June 2023, China and Palestine deepened their relations by announcing a new strategic relationship.

  7. Isn’t it just delightful when a country so deeply involved in its own, let’s say, “legitimate national interests” suddenly turns into a champion for someone else’s? Bravo, China, your humanitarianism is almost as heartwarming as a rainy Tuesday in Brussels! 😏

  8. Oh, brilliant! Just what we needed—another country reminding us how to play nice in the sandbox. Can’t wait for the next diplomatic lecture from a nation that’s perfected the art of “mind your own business”. 😂

    Oh, how noble of China to champion Palestinian rights while simultaneously keeping a close eye on their own “territorial disputes.” 🤔 It’s almost as if they’re handing out pointers on diplomacy from their own well-fortified ivory tower! 🏰

  16. Looks like China’s going for the Nobel Peace Prize this week—good luck with that amidst all the “humanitarian disasters.” 🤷‍♂️ Maybe they should send some of those high-flying diplomats to iron out their own backyard first, eh? 🧐
