China demands independent Palestinian state in UN address
China reiterated its demand Saturday for an independent state of Palestine as it told the UN that powerful nations cannot replace justice through their strength.
Palestine is the “biggest wound” to human conscience; China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the 79th session of the General Assembly in New York.
“But might cannot replace justice,” he said, while noting the conflict in the Gaza Strip was causing more casualties each day and fighting has started again in Lebanon.
