China’s President Xi Jinping and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas attend a signing ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on June 14, 2023. AFPPIX: Chinese President Xi Jinping said Wednesday that his country was establishing “strategic” relations with Palestinians ahead of talks with leader Mahmud Abbas in Beijing.

“Today, we will jointly announce the establishment of a China-Palestine strategic partnership, which will be an important milestone in the history of bilateral relations,“ added Xi. Beijing has sought to boost its ties in the Middle East, challenging US influence -- efforts that have sparked unease in Washington.
