China has criticized a draft resolution proposed by the United States on the situation in Gaza at the United Nations Security Council, saying the resolution fails to address the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state.<\/p>\n
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said the resolution does not adequately address the fundamental issue of a two-state solution and lacks clarity on Gaza’s future after the end of the current conflict. “China abstained from voting on this resolution because it overlooks the creation of a Palestinian state as the essential solution to the crisis,” she said.<\/p>\n
The Chinese official reiterated that China supports the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to achieve their lawful rights and called for a comprehensive, lasting, and just peace in the region.<\/p>\n
She also expressed China’s support for the UN Security Council’s efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire, address the humanitarian crisis, and facilitate reconstruction in Gaza.<\/p>\n
These remarks were made during the most recent UN Security Council meeting, held Monday night in New York. Of the council’s 15 members, 13 voted in favor of the US-drafted resolution, while Russia and China abstained. The resolution outlines a legal framework for deploying international forces to uphold a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
