"If a two-state solution works to the west of the PRC, then it works to the east of the PRC."
'Beijing is providing extensive support for the Palestinian cause. The foreign minister just hosted top diplomats from Muslim countries 'to discuss ways to mediate peace.' What does that mean?
--Growing divergence of U.S. and Chinese interests: in other words, the two sides have increasing incentives to counter each others' interests globally.
--Beijing wants to obfuscate and misdirect from its ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs. Beijing has bet -- rightly -- that a combination of economic statecraft, economic and political coercion, and growing support for the Palestinian cause will successfully whitewash its own crimes against Muslims in the northwest Chinese region of Xinjiang.
--For the last fifteen years, Israelis have told me versions of 'China loves Israel,' 'China has a special place in its heart for Israel,' 'China needs Israeli technology and support.' All countries shift priorities as their national interests change. Israelis and others need to understand that Chinese propaganda is not a reflection of Chinese interests, but the way that Beijing wishes others to perceive those interests.' -Isaac Stone Fish, CEO and Founder at Strategy Risks
