BEIJING, September 22, 2025 (WAFA) – China affirmed on Monday that the Gaza Strip is an ‘inseparable’ part of the Palestinian territory.

“Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and is an inseparable part of the Palestinian territory,” Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated in a regular press conference in Beijing.

Reiterating the call for a ceasefire in Gaza, Jiakun said: “China believes that facing the current situation, a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza must be pursued and the humanitarian catastrophe must be alleviated with utmost sense of urgency.”

Criticizing the US for the failure to take serious action against Israel, Jiakun noted that “the country with special influence on Israel needs to step up to the responsibility.”

“The principle of “Palestinians governing Palestine” must be observed and the legitimate national rights of Palestine ensured in the post-conflict governance and reconstruction arrangement. The two-State solution must remain the path forward, which requires more global consensus and zero unilateral action that erodes the foundation of the two-State solution,” he added.

He reiterated that China’s readiness to “work with the international community to remain committed to a ceasefire in Gaza, firmly support the Palestinian people’s just cause of regaining their legitimate national rights, and make unremitting efforts toward a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the question of Palestine at an early date.”
