The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a position paper on resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. China emphasizes the need for an immediate ceasefire, the safety of humanitarian corridors, and preventing the expansion of the conflict. China proposes implementing a comprehensive ceasefire, protecting civilians effectively, ensuring humanitarian assistance, enhancing diplomatic mediation, and seeking a political settlement based on the two-state solution.

The article reveals how Red China views the proposed armistice in the on-going Korean War. Chinese propaganda paper "People's Daily" reported the armistice as a moral and military success for the Korean people's army and Chinese volunteers and an utter defeat for the U.S. The article also reported the 30th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, featuring a Peking rally honoring Red leaders such as Mao-Tse-tung, Chou Enlai, Lenin and Stalin.

Behind India and, Pakistan's acceptance of the "cease-fire" are a number of critically important developments. But the paradox of the cease-fire, in a sense, is the fact that China is perhaps the power primarily responsible for it. The conclusion increasingly reached is that this war cannot be just, essentially because it is immoral to fight a war in the midst of a civilian population that has never clearly expressed itself one way or the other on the so-called issues. It is basically a great-power struggle, and since it cannot be fought except with the most horrible consequences to people who are in effect bystanders, it is inherently and irremediably immoral.

If a democratic and united Korea is possible at all, it can be created and maintained only if China is convinced that it will not be used as a jumping-off place for U.S. forces bent on "liberation." And China will be hard to convince as long as Syngman Rhee, President of the Republic of Korea, is endorsed as the rightful head of all Korea and backed by the United States. Nor will a China ruled out of community of nations be a safe neighbor for any smaller Asian country. This is only one illustration of the interlocking nature of the issues loosed by the armistice.

The article presents information on the book "Japan in China," by T.A. Bisson. The first half of Bisson's survey deals with the political evolution of China from the signing of the Tangku truce with Japan on May 31, 1933, to the outbreak of the present undeclared war in the late summer of last year. During the earlier part of this period the Chinese government at Nanking retreated steadily before ever more insistent Japanese demands. Increasing resistance became evident, however, in the late summer and fall of 1935, when Japanese leaders first began to speak of making China's five northern provinces "autonomous." Perhaps the most striking chapter in Bisson's book is the last, which depicts the situation in Manchuria after six years of occupation.
