From Global Anti-Imperialism to the Dandelion Fighters, China’s Solidarity with Palestine from 1950 to 2024

Frontier of global anti-imperialist struggle: China’s perceptions of the Palestinian struggle from 1955 to 1976
China is probably one of few states which flipped its diplomatic stance on the “Palestinian-Israeli conflict” in the most dramatic manner from the 1950s to 1970s. In only 20 years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s official foreign policy dramatically changed from almost establishing diplomatic relations with Israel in 1950 to denying any legitimacy of the Israeli state in the 1960s to 1970s. As I aim to demonstrate in this article, the Maoist era, especially from 1955 to 1976, established the foundation of China’s diplomatic support for the Palestinian liberation movement, and this legacy is still one of the main factors guiding China’s official stance on Palestine today.

It’s not looking good for the IOF!

Israel will boost its military industry with the construction of an equipment factory

The news comes when 300 days have passed since the Israeli military operation against the Islamic terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, for which US military aid is being necessary.

The IDF has already warned that it is suffering a personnel crisis, but according to a recent article in The New York Times it is also facing a shortage of tank shells and parts to repair military vehicles.

This while the country is preparing for a possible regional war, after the escalation of tension on the border with Lebanon with the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah and threats from Iran after an attack in Tehran that caused the death of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the political office of Hamas, which the Islamic Republic attributes to Israel.

Washington even delayed sending certain types of bombs to Israel, citing the possibility that they would be used against civilians in the Gaza Strip, highlighting Israel’s strong dependence on American weapons.
