In remarks at a UN Security Council meeting, Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN, stressed the importance of justice and fairness regarding the Palestinian issue. 

He said, "What is lacking in solving the Palestinian issue is not a grand plan, but a living conscience to establish justice. The fulfillment of its responsibilities by the Security Council does not depend on loud slogans, but on concrete measures."

On issues regarding the future and fate of the Palestinian people, no party has the right to veto, Zhang stressed, arguing that a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement for the Palestinian issue remains the common aspiration of the international community. 

He further said that the Security Council is bound by its duty toward the Palestinian "question", and that it must take "more forceful measures to support the Palestinian people in restoring and exercising their inalienable rights and achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.

"The long-term solution to the Palestinian-Israeli issue must be based on the two-state solution," Zhang said.

"China supports the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights, and supports the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital," he said.

"China is ready to work with all parties to push the Security Council to play its role to break the current stalemate, and transform the two-state solution from consensus to real action, and from vision to reality," he added.

In May, Israeli media outlet The Jerusalem Post published an interview Monday with Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, in which the latter claimed that China was getting ready to invade it, and warning "Israel" not to trust Beijing.

Following the publication of this article, The Jerusalem Post's Editor-in-Chief tweeted that he received a call from the Chinese embassy, asking him to take down the article, or Beijing will cut ties with the paper, and downgrade ties with "Israel."
