"Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and is an integral part of the Palestinian territory... We oppose the forced displacement of the people of Gaza," foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun told a regular press briefing.
Last week, China's foreign ministry emphasized that China has all along believed that "the Palestinians governing Palestine" is the fundamental principle of post-conflict governance of Gaza.
The ministry spokesperson made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on President Donald Trump's speech in which he said the US will "take over" and "own" the Gaza Strip after resettling Palestinians living there to neighbouring countries, like Jordan and Egypt.
Lin noted that China has all along believed that "the Palestinians governing Palestine" is the fundamental principle of post-conflict governance of Gaza.
"We oppose the forced displacement of the people in Gaza, and hope that relevant parties will take the opportunity of the ceasefire and post-conflict governance in Gaza to bring the Palestinian question back to the right track of a political settlement based on the two-State solution, so as to realize lasting peace in the Middle East," Lin said.
