It is an interesting development, to be sure. On the one hand, I am glad to see that US influence in the middle east is weakening, and after seeing China negotiate peace between KSA and Iran I am relatively optimistic about China being able to use their growing influence for good.

On the other hand China seems to be aiming for a "two state solution" in Palestine, which I fear will legitimize Israel and harm Palestine in the long run.

What are your thoughts/opinions on this? Is there anything I am missing and should know about?

There is no one-state solution that involves Palestine surving in sight right now. Keep this apartheid regime up as is and Palestine may just end up fully dissolved and eradicated. A two-state solution is basically the same as saying "no more expansion, no more genocide". Just stopping genocide requires a two-state social order. From there, it's possible to proceed. I think it might be impossible to proceed towards the desired one-state solution without first passing through the two-state arrangement first.

Precisely, a one state solution cant arrise without both sides being recognized as equal negotiators.
