CHINA - Chinese President Xi Jinping signed a “strategic partnership” with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, with Abbas currently visiting China for four days. Abbas is the first Arab leader to visit China in a state visit this year, and this is Abbas’ fifth such visit to China, according to Chinese media.

According to Xi, China and “Palestine” are “good friends and good partners who trust and support each other,” as cited by Global Times. China’s Bias will Not Bring Peace.
