The rise of China might actually bring peace to the middle east. The Chinese for starters aren’t Christian zealots who believe in Genesis 12:3 literally like the US.

Calling for the sovereignty of a de facto independent state? I don’t see how this statement could be made unless a huge leap has been made in cross-Strait relations with Taiwan. Maybe Lai’s statement on the DPP not pursuing de jure independence was enough, which is significantly different from Tsai’s posturing.
