To adopt a strong stance might make the leaders look strong, but it comes at the cost of the people's suffering. Time for two sides in the #IsraelPalestineconflict to shake hands, not ruin peace. (By @zzxang86) pic.twitter.com/ct963QWNME— China Daily (@ChinaDaily) May 13, 2021

I know Foreign Policy isn't their actual internal stance, but this is not a great take on Palestine by the CPC Propaganda department organ.

EDIT: They deleted it. Thanks to the chad in the Central Committee who squashed this. Remember, Bullying Works.

    Here's a statement by the spokesperson of the Chinese MFA for context on the official Chinese line.

    HRTN: Violence and tension in East Jerusalem has been escalating. We learned that the Security Council held an emergency consultation on the situation in East Jerusalem on May 10, but the release of an outcome document experienced hindrance. Can you tell us more?

    China condemns violence targeting civilians. We call on parties to avoid provocative rhetoric and acts and take actions conducive to reducing violence and achieving a soft-landing of the situation, so as to restore peace and stability on the ground at an early date. Facing the on-going tensions, China believes that the Security Council should do something to reaffirm commitment and firm support to the two-state solution, work for the deescalation of the situation and fulfill the obligations of upholding international peace and security. As the president of the Security Council for this month, China will continue to do its best to ensure that the Council take actions about the situation in East Jerusalem as soon as possible.

    So yeah, hardly great. Sounds like something my shitty lib country would put out. But it's to be expected given China's policy of non-interference into other countries' affairs.
