"In practical terms, China provides the Palestinians zero support"
Galia Lavi, an expert on Chinese policy: "Besides the very pro-Palestinian rhetoric, in practical terms, China provides the Palestinians zero support. For China, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a marginal platform that they are completely indifferent to its results. In fact, China is not against Israel, but against the US, and I also don't think there is an axis between Iran, Russia and China, there are a lot of disagreements between them, I would say it is more of a marriage of convenience.'
