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.
China will suffer propaganda even for the positive things they do, like the de-radicalization of terrorists in Xinjiang. This is not the reason they advocate for a two-state solution, they do it for pragmatic reasons, and to avoid conflicts. It seems more logical than thinking the Chinese leadership will consider how the West would react before doing anything
Since Deng Xiaoping, China adopted a “not my business” foreign policy, perhaps except for the war with Vietnam, which was a disaster.
I think we’re saying the same things though. I didn’t mean to suggest that China is seeking Western approval or anything. Just that advocating a one state solution right now would be taken as a provocative position and likely escalate this conflict and others.
