Beijing speaks out in favor of independent Palestine

In view of the outbreak of violence in Israel, the Chinese government has issued a statement supporting a two-state solution. China is „deeply concerned about the … escalation of tension and violence between Palestine and Israel“ and calls for a ceasefire. The resurgence of the conflict shows that the peace process is not making progress, it said. „The fundamental way out of the conflict lies in implementing the two-state solution and establishing an independent State of Palestine.“ China is thus repeating an existing position. fin
