Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on March 28.
A reporter asked: According to reports, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with U.S. Secretary of State Blinken on the 27th, he emphasized that the Biden administration must fulfill its commitments to Palestine, including the U.S. commitment to the "two-state solution" for the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
The current situation in Europe presents a clear double standard, and the international community should not remain silent about what has happened to Palestine.
What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin: As State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out, the question of Palestine should not be marginalized or forgotten.
The historical injustice that has dragged on for more than half a century should not continue.
President Xi Jinping put forward a four-point proposal for solving the Palestinian issue. Based on this, China has put forward three specific ideas for implementing the "two-state solution".
China will continue to stand firmly with the Palestinian people.
I would also like to stress that the international community should not adopt double standards, whether it is the Palestinian issue or other international and regional hotspot issues.
Ukrainian refugees deserve sympathy, while refugees from Middle East, Africa, Latin America and other countries do not deserve sympathy. Such double standards are unacceptable.
The harm done to Ukrainian civilians is a war crime, while the harm done to civilians in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria can go unaccounted for. Such double standards are unacceptable.
The attack on Ukraine is a breach of the principle of respect for sovereignty, and the attacks on the Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria are legitimate and legitimate. Such double standards are unacceptable.
It is unacceptable to emphasize the inviolability of sovereignty on the issue of Ukraine, and to call for the priority of human rights over sovereignty on issues such as Yugoslavia and Iraq.
The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be observed, and the legitimate security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously.
Only by abandoning double standards can regional hotspot issues be justly resolved and lasting peace in the Middle East, Europe and the world be hoped for.
