China's security vision for advancing peace to give play as Abbas visits
web.archive.org
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Beijing on Tuesday to start a three-day state visit.This is Abbas' fifth visit to China. He is also the first Arab head of state to be hosted by China this year.Following a positive trend in the Middle East

It is an interesting development, to be sure. On the one hand, I am glad to see that US influence in the middle east is weakening, and after seeing China negotiate peace between KSA and Iran I am relatively optimistic about China being able to use their growing influence for good.

On the other hand China seems to be aiming for a “two state solution” in Palestine, which I fear will legitimize Israel and harm Palestine in the long run.

What are your thoughts/opinions on this? Is there anything I am missing and should know about?

    I must agree. A lot of people want for Palestine to immediately regain sovereignty over their claimed lands in a single stroke, with all Israelis being deported; but, I don’t think that’s a realistic position to take.

    Like you said, a two-state solution is the first step to an unified one-state nation.
