Deep dives
China's View of Hamas
China views Hamas as a legitimate political party and does not label it as a terrorist organization like the US and some Western European countries do. China's position is that Hamas is a resistance movement. They have not condemned the recent Hamas attacks and have been disappointed by Israel's response. China's arms sales to Iran could potentially allow Iranian weapons to reach Hamas, but China has not taken any steps to mitigate this flow. China has not made any official statements on the Israel-Hamas conflict or the recent discovery of Chinese-manufactured weapons in Gaza.
