  • Reading in President Xi Jinping speech at 10th ministerial China-Arab Meeting
    President Xi Jinping at the 10th China-Arab Ministerial Meeting (Illustrated by Zeinab al-Hajj; Al Mayadeen English)

In the opening of the 10th China-Arab Ministerial Meeting, President Xi Jinping delivered a speech worthy of a long pause and a dwelling on its direct and indirect remarks and visionary observations, not only for the Arabs and Chinese people who are directly involved but for the world at large, especially for those who are struggling to explain what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine and why. 

In this speech, as in other speeches, Xi is a statesman who reads the past and unravels its important messages only to save the present ship from turbulent storms and chart a promising future for humanity at large. In this regard, he envisioned that the China-Arab existing friendship and the ties between Arab and Chinese people are rooted in the friendly exchange on the ancient Silk Road, the fight for national independence, and the mutually beneficial cooperation for state building and prosperity for all. From this perspective, President Xi moved to speak in detail about the best way to build a joint future for both, the Chinese and the Arabs, embodying their aspirations to start a new era of relations, which also helps to create a beautiful future for the entire humanity. 

In this regard, and for the sake of achieving these noble and difficult goals at the same time, President Xi stresses that only mutual respect may achieve a harmonious existence and rid us of the stormy world in which we live, adding that fairness and justice are the only basis for lasting security and peace. Peace and security should be guaranteed for all countries and people, and real respect should be paid to the UN charter and the independent choices of people, and the reality that has been formulated through the ages should also be respected. The cornerstone for a better world should be equality, mutual respect, mutual benefits, and the harmonious coexistence of different civilizations on the basis of peace, credibility, and forgiveness.

Regarding the Middle East, President Xi said that it is a land bestowed with broad prospects for development, but the war is still raging on it. In this concise statement, the Chinese President has summed up the tragedy that has befallen the Arab nation since the discovery of oil and gas in their lands. He also summed up the true reason for the terrorist wars against many Arab countries and the genocide taking place in Palestine by the Zionists and their supporters for the last eight months. 

The vision that the Chinese President puts forward for China-Arab relations and the world at large is the antithesis of every element of Western vision, not only to the Middle East but also to the world at large. Western countries who colonized the Middle East, Asia, and Africa only see in our countries free raw materials, free oil, and free gas for their industries and never see us as people. Quite the contrary, they promoted the myth of land with no people for people with no land, when they created their advanced representative in our region: the Zionist entity.

There is no room in their dictionary for mutual respect or mutual benefit or joint future, as they see themselves as the only masters and owners even of our land and of what is bestowed upon it. That is why they keep launching wars against us either to annihilate us or to slow us down to the extent that disables us from using our natural wealth to build our countries. Nation-building and prosperity in Western opinion are only allowed for them or their satellite states. The genocide against the Palestinian people has proven that they have no respect for international law or even for what their students or people believe in or hold in high esteem. This genocide has proven that Western democratic systems are not democratic at all and that money and armaments hold power keys in the West. 

Perhaps that is why Western analysts failed to see the essence of Xi Jinping’s speech, as one of them said, “Beijing sees the ongoing conflict as a golden opportunity to criticize the West’s double standards on the international scene and call for an alternative global order." Another source said, “China has positioned itself in alignment with the Arab world and the broader global South." The Chinese President never neglects referring to the shared future of humanity while all that President Biden and Western leaders talk about and work for is the security of their "satellite state": "Israel", even as it is perpetrating the most horrendous genocide the world has ever witnessed. 

What is assuring is that Western logic looks and feels so hollow and pale compared with the strong, rooted, credible, and visionary logic of President Xi Jinping, who is convincing even to Western people; the fact that started to trouble Western governments and their hypocritical media empire.
