Why it matters:
With 157 countries recognizing Palestine, China is amplifying calls for a two-state solution at a time when the war in Gaza and the Israeli regime’s settlement policies have further destabilized West Asia. Beijing is positioning itself as a leading global voice opposing unilateral actions that undermine Palestinian statehood.
The big picture:
China has consistently framed the Palestinian issue as central to peace and stability in West Asia. By urging the regime to halt settlement expansion, violence, and restrictions, Beijing contrasts its stance with that of the U.S., Japan, and Germany, which still refuse to recognize Palestine.
What he is saying:
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the growing recognition of Palestine “fully reflects the prevailing will and common aspirations of the international community.”
“The two-state solution is the only realistic path,” he emphasized, pledging China’s “unwavering support” for Palestinians.
Key points:
- 157 countries worldwide recognize Palestine, while more than 30, including the United States, Japan, and Germany, do not.
- China criticized the regime’s ongoing assaults in Gaza, which have resulted in mass civilian casualties and displacement.
- Beijing called for an immediate halt to attacks, respect for international humanitarian law, and full humanitarian access.
- Geng condemned the regime’s new E1 settlement plan as a “dangerous move” that violates international law and undermines Palestinian territorial integrity.
