BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday it understood and supported Palestinian aspirations to seek full U.N. membership, but stopped short of saying how it would vote on the matter.

"As for the matter of the Palestinians independently establishing a state and applying to the United Nations, we express understanding, respect and support," he told a regular news briefing.

"At the same time, we believe that the international community should also step up efforts to ensure an early return to talks between the Palestinians and Israel."

China has traditionally had close relations with the Palestinians, but also has good ties with Israel, especially in the field of defense.

The United States and Israel say a Palestinian state should emerge from peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel, which would be impossible if the Palestinians declare a state on their own. Washington has pledged to veto such a Palestinian request at the U.N. Security Council.....snip~

Friday is the day.....wonder what Russia is saying and will do.

Obama and Clinton have been callin-in all their favors to get other countries to bid against it. But then how does this make the US look with it's so called Humantarism Equality. Yet then Dems want to talk about our perception in the world?

Yeah...and how many favors do Obama and Clinton have left. How about calling in some favors to help Americans?

Besides that I'm not comfortable with the U.N. having this much power, but I suppose Israel is a special case when it comes to the United Nations.
