China supports the creation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday during an Arab League convention in Cairo.
The Palestinian issue "should not be marginalized," Xi said, according to Xinhua, China's official news agency. "We are in favor of putting in place a new mechanism to promote peace as to the Middle East question, and support efforts made by the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation toward this end," said the leader of the world's most populous country and its second-largest economy.
Xi declared that that Beijing "firmly supports the Middle East peace process, the establishment of a state of Palestine with full sovereignty on the basis of the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital," Xinhua reported.
Xi also announced grants worth about $7.6 million for the Palestinians and support the solar power project in the Palestinian territories.

If he’s serious, then let’s move all the Palestinians to China.
Is this a first for the Chinese?
Do the Chinese also support Taiwan as separate state or how about Tibet?
This is China starting a new game. They smell U.S middle east abandonment.

Of course, Obama will downplay the seriousness of this.
Since he does not support Israel he may actually like it.
I really like the borders as of July 1967. The war was fought between June 5th and 10th, with Israel occupying everything it has now along with the Siani Penensula.
Soooooo. Borders in July 1967 would be great. We hae no problem with the Siani going back to Egypt. I just wish they would take Gaza along with it.

Two Nation strategy: Taiwan and PRC.
If only Israel wasn’t an island in the middle of the Middle East Nightmare. We could just back out completely and let them all have at it.
How about putting it in Tibet.
I would hold the line at Israel, Egypt, Lebanon Greece and Spain. Whatever it takes to make them pro american. At least up until Obama started office.
Yeah... he really screwed everything up.
Not a first. Mao supported the PLO.
