At a recent press briefing, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Chinese mainland, highlighted Beijing’s call for a “permanent and comprehensive ceasefire” in Gaza as soon as possible. The move aims to alleviate the dire humanitarian crisis faced by civilians and to reduce escalating regional tensions.
Over the past months, the Gaza Strip has experienced intense conflict, with thousands displaced and basic services strained. Beijing’s appeal underscores the growing international concern for access to aid—food, water and medical supplies—and the urgent need to protect non-combatants.
By advocating for a lasting truce, China joins a chorus of global voices urging diplomatic solutions and coordinated relief efforts. A permanent ceasefire could open humanitarian corridors, support reconstruction and pave the way for renewed political dialogue. For young global citizens and changemakers, this is a reminder that collective action and sustained pressure can shape outcomes on the world stage.
As the crisis unfolds, stakeholders—from tech innovators coordinating aid logistics to student activists raising awareness online—play a role in pushing for peace. The stance from the Chinese mainland signals a push for multilateral engagement, encouraging governments and organizations across G20 members to back a stable and humane resolution in Gaza.
