CHINA - Tells Israel to Stop “Forced Establishment”

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has told Israel to stop its “forced establishment” of settlements in the West Bank and reverse its actions, his office said.

Beijing has been a long-standing supporter of the Palestinian cause and has maintained that a “two-state solution” is the “correct direction.”

It has also been positioning itself as a mediator for conflicts in the Middle East.

Beijing’s efforts to tackle the war in Gaza have focused on Palestinian unity.

In 2024 Beijing got rival Palestinian factions to agree to form an interim “national reconciliation government” for the occupied West Bank and Gaza after the war with Israel, although it was never implemented.

Commentary: What becomes increasingly clear is China’s power growth.

Just 50 years ago, China’s GDP was about $154.2 billion; that was less than 9% of the US economy.

A cursory Google search reveals: “2026 Economy Comparison: China GDP (PPP): Projected at $43.5 trillion to $44.55 trillion (ranking #1 globally), United States GDP (PPP): Projected at $31.8 trillion to $32.4 trillion (ranking #2 globally).”

Under “manufacturing,” Wikipedia states: “List of countries by manufacturing output: 1. China, 4,822,731; 2. United States, 2,497,132; 3. Germany, 889,627; 4. Japan, 788,452.”

Of course, not all is well in China, but as we show, figures don’t lie.

For China to oppose Israel settling their own country (Judea and Samaria) is somewhat understandable, as communist ideology totally disregards religion. Thus, in their eyes, the promises given in the Bible are invalid.

That’s one side of the story; the other is that formerly considered Christianized Western countries—such as Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Norway, Slovenia, France, and Belgium to name just a few—recognize a non-existent state: Palestine.

Here we must refresh our memory. The name “Palestine” was actually a Roman invention. Based on the League of Nations, the British were granted the Mandate for Palestine from 1918 to 1948.

In November 1947, the UN General Assembly issued the resolution to partition Mandatory Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state. The Jews accepted it and declared their own state on 14 May 1948.

The Arab Palestinians outright rejected Resolution 181. From that point on, they have declared total war against Jewish Palestine, with the intention to commit genocide of the Jewish people.

Strange, “Christian” Europe seems to be in favor of virtually any and all Arab Palestinian resolutions. Jews in Israel number 7,208,000, making up 73.2% of the population, and 21.1% are Arab Israeli citizens.

What does the Bible say? “O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee

will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance” (Psalm 105:6-11).
