China has called on the United Nations to implement the two-state solution and grant Palestine full membership in the world body, as a way to end the long-standing conflict with Israel and achieve peace and stability in the Middle East. In a position paper released on Monday, China said that the current Palestinian-Israeli situation […]
Broken clock…and all that
Russia, Iran and China are regularly correct when they’re criticising the West tbh. It’s an easy way to score points that can’t really be countered.
In this case, ‘the West’ has been calling for a two state solution since the 1940’s…
Though their actions haven’t ever actually supported it. If the US and EU had sanctioned Israel, for example after the land grab of 1967, they could have forced a state on 1967 borders, if not 1948 borders. But instead they’ve just been giving them weapons and cash that has fueled the genocide instead.
It’s not like China’s has done anything more than public statements either though. China is one of Israel’s biggest trading partners after all.
China is sending aid to Gaza, is pressuring regional partners to stop infighting, and Chinese weapons are “accidentally” ending up in Palestinian hands. Chinese shipping is blatantly showcasing the viability of Yemen’s sanctions by restricting shipments to Israel in exchange for transiting the Red Sea (putting the ships at risk of getting caught in a US/UK strike). China, in general, has a policy off no-military-intervention outside of it’s immediate vicinity and hasn’t fired ammunition at an enemy since the fall of the Soviiet Union, and hasn’t fought at scale since 1979. China does not express its power with “who has a bigger stick.”
Are we also forgetting that China mediated the Iran-KSA rapprochement, which had direct implications on the Israel-KSA relationship?
You can look at it from the other side as well: if the US, Europe and the USSR had sanctioned the Arab neighbours around Israel instead of giving them weapons to attempt their genocides of '48, ‘67 and’ '73, we could ba a lot closer to a two-state solution
But they didn’t so here we are

People who say “rare China W” you can tell they get all their news from “lets all buy NFTs and do whatever the rich want us to do” publications.
China has been hitting W after W after W after W with no signs of stopping. So many Ws you have to actively try not to see at least one.
