PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Disappointing Visit to China
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Yoni Ben Menachem - Despite significant media attention, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas concluded his recent visit to China without any notable political achievements, even though he publicly supported China's repressive policy toward the minority Uyghur Muslims. Abbas signed an agreement with the Chinese to improve road infrastructure in Ramallah and discussed implementing Chinese language programs in Palestinian schools. However, there are no indications that China intends to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians. China maintains good relations with Israel and will not jeopardize them to please the PA.
