Israel-Gaza war: only a two-state solution can bring real peace, China president says in first public speech on conflict - eviltoast

Um, I am not sure how I feel about this. Why would Xi support a two-state solution? Isn’t it more justified to have a one-state solution and return all of the land to the Palestinians? Won’t a two-state solution eventually lead us back to another genocide? This feels off. I did not expect Xi to make such a statement.

    Fair enough, sometimes I forget about that. Being from the Global South myself we constantly have this debate because China really doesn’t do much to help revolutions against states they have deals with (as opposed to earlier China or USSR), so probably feels more obvious to me than it actually is.

    Your question was fine, I was knee-jerky, don’t feel discouraged to ask more in the future.

    Edit: Also, besides what others have said about China following UN decisions, them supporting a two-state solution is fundamentally different from Western countries which provide aid for Israel also backing that. The first can pass as ineffective, naïve or disinterested, but the second is downright hypocritical by pretending they have no agency on what their colony does.
