As far as statecraft and geopolitics goes, I think all factions are essentially lumped under the banner of Palestine. Hence everyone coming to the table.
Yes, that was the conference I was referring to. China more or less invited every single Palestinian org as a demonstration of a public united front among Palestinian orgs. This is a good thing. It’s not China’s job or right to pick sides. And it’s not like every other org is chummy with one another. For example, DFLP is an org that split from the PFLP. Should we expect China to arbitrate whether the PFLP or DFLP is the org that best represents the interests of Palestinian socialists and communists? Of course not.
What is China’s official stance on Hamas tho? I never really got the impression that China was sympathetic to Hamas.
