Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday that China is “deeply saddened by the civilian casualties caused by the conflict between Palestine and Israel.” “Noa was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists when attending a peace music festival in southern Israel. She was dragged from Israel to Gaza,” the embassy’s statement said. “She is a daughter, a sister and a friend.”
Schumer’s meeting with Xi ran to 80 minutes – 20 more than scheduled – emphasizing the careful preparation and highly detailed nature of the discussions, the senator said. He said the U.S. side asserted its concerns about the lack of reciprocity and the need for a “‘level playing field’ for American businesses in China, and urged China to take measures to prevent the export of chemicals used to make the drug fentanyl, which has fuelled a deadly wave of addictions.
