Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday that China supports the political settlement of the Palestinian issue on the basis of the two-state solution, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday.
China supports Palestine to build an independent, full sovereignty state along the 1967 borders with occupied East Jerusalem as its capital, Xi said during his talks with visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Chinese president further stressed that the UN Security Council Resolution 2334 should be effectively implemented, and all the settlement-building on the occupied territories of Palestine should be immediately stopped.
The resolution, adopted on Dec. 23, 2016, condemned Israel's settlements on occupied Palestinian territory as illegal, and urged it to halt building.
Meanwhile, Xi reiterated that China will, "as always," support the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights. 
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas started on Monday a four-day visit to China at the invitation of his Chinese counterpart in order to discuss several issues of mutual concern.
