I would have preferred "Hamastan" to "Palestine". Nonetheless, it's good to know where China stands -- which any sane person could guess easily.

In Mandarin, "Palestine" is referred to as "Palastan", which is to say the Chinese themselves view it as just another "-stan" (to be cultivated no doubt). Chinese students are told the same Arabist legends as our own college students about the theft of Middle Eastern land by neo-colonial Zionists.

The difference is if the jihadists screw with China mipuch more, China will erase them with overwhelming manpower or nukes. China’s leadership won’t care about casualties, world opinion or peaceniks, either. It will be brutal and total. It will also probably relegate us to Third World status in their shadow.

Scary times ahead...

Israel should recognize Taiwan, as well as occupied Manchuria, East Turkestan, Tibet and call for the end of Chinese occupation of Indian and Mongolian territories.
