If you are worried, there is good news. China is here to save humanity — at least, according to a senior Palestinian leader.

“A world war” is looming caused by “the Zionist-American alliance,” and it is China that will be saving humanity, explains Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki, who is also Fatah’s General Commissioner for Arab and China Relations:

Posted text: “Fatah Central Committee member and [Fatah] General Commissioner for Arab and China Relations Abbas Zaki received His Honor Ambassador of China in the State of Palestine Zeng Jixin today, [April 20, 2025,] in his office in Ramallah…

Zaki noted that China, with its positive initiatives, is qualified to save humanity on this planet from a looming world war, considering the ongoing aggression that is being waged by the Zionist-American alliance.” [emphasis added]

Meeting the Chinese Ambassador to the Palestinian Authority last year, Zaki stressed that China’s position of “standing against injustice and tyranny” and “believing in justice” makes it an obvious candidate to help “Palestine” and the Arab world against “the Israeli war”:

Posted text: “Fatah Central Committee member and [Fatah] General Commissioner for Arab and China Relations Abbas Zaki received Chinese Ambassador in the State of Palestine Zeng Jixin …

Zaki said that the Middle East region is in real danger as a result of the expansion of the Israeli war against the region’s states, including Iran, which heralds a wide regional war that will lead to an expansion of the war in the world.

This requires intervention by states that believe in peace, shared victory, and mutual benefit between the peoples of the world, stand against injustice and tyranny, and believe in justice, like China.” [emphasis added]

In turn, the Chinese ambassador repeated the PA’s false narrative, which bashes “the US and the Western colonialist forces” who support Israel, while China is all about “peace … [for all] peoples on the face of the earth.”:

Zeng Jixin [stated that] the US is pretending to stand alongside democracy and human rights, while it and the Western colonialist forces are supporting the Israeli occupation with all types of weapons and are waging false propaganda campaigns against China.

He added that the Chinese culture and its values always call for peace, security, and stability for the world’s states and their peoples on the face of the earth. [emphasis added]

Former PA PM Muhammad Shtayyeh expressed a similar wish at the Chinese-Arab Forum for Young Politicians:

Shtayyeh emphasized that China needs to continue to strengthen its strategic ties with the Arab states and move on to a stage in which it will take action to reshape the international system. [emphasis added]

When Shtayyeh received Ambassador Jixin, he repeated the message of China’s dominant role:

China is making steady progress to take its role in the international arena through its initiatives, especially those related to Palestine … [and] emphasized that China needs to continue to strengthen its strategic ties with the Arab states and move on to a stage in which it will take action to reshape the international system.” [emphasis added]

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed that the PA demands a “new world order” ruled by the “Islamic world, Russia and China” in order to “realize justice.”

While the PA rejects the US and the West, it embraces Russia and China, believing they can “build a new world free of chaos and terror.”

PA leader Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash has explicitly called on Russia and China to assist the Islamic and Arab world against the US’ “imperialist hegemony over the world”:

Al-Habbash said … Russia is a world power, and in order to maintain balance in the international arena, the world must get rid of the unipolar system through the existence of a number of poles in the international system that will achieve balance between the world powers, otherwise the world will turn into a prisoner of just one world power [America].

The US is attempting to maintain this imperialist hegemony over the world by presenting itself as the world’s only pole, but Russia can achieve this balance together with the Islamic and Arab world and also with China.
