According to the Global Times, under the mediation of the Chinese side, 14 Palestinian factions reached reconciliation and signed the historic Beijing Declaration. Fatah Vice Chairman Mahmoud · Arul said that China is a light and China's efforts in resolving the Palestinian issue are rare. Alul said that China has continued to increase its support for Palestine in recent years, and China is of great significance to the Palestinian people. Hamas representative Marzoug said that the unprecedented support of the international community for the Palestinian issue and the signing of the Beijing Declaration to promote national reconciliation are historic moments. Hamas and Fatah split in 2007, with the two sides taking opposing positions toward the Israel, controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River, respectively. Palestine faces political divisions that have weakened collective efforts in the face of Israel's expansion. The Jordan West Bank has been eroded by Israel's continued settlement expansion, triggering an erosion of the foundations of the two-state solution.
China has pushed for reconciliation among the 14 Palestinian factions, enabling Palestinian political entities to speak out with one voice and laying the political foundation for the formal establishment of Palestinian statehood. Conducive to the realization of a systemic political basis for consensus, from Palestine to the Arab States to the global consensus. In the process of resolving the Palestinian issue, United States and Israel are relatively strong. If you don't unite, you will face being broken by each one. This is the background to the impasse over the past period of time. What China is doing is to promote the greatest synergy and form a common counterattack against external aggression. From the Saudi-Iran reconciliation in March last year to the reconciliation of the Palestinian factions in July this year. The situation in the Middle East is changing, and it is becoming more and more difficult for United States-Israel to carry out various attacks on Middle Eastern countries through intelligence, discord, and threats.
At a time when China is promoting political reconciliation in the Middle East, the American media Bloomberg noted that Chinese photovoltaic companies in the economic field are increasing investment in the Middle East. According to Bloomberg, China has been the largest energy customer in the Middle East for many years. That is changing as Chinese PV companies move into the Middle East. The U.S. media reflected on whether it is worth assessing whether United States should restrict China's PV access to the United States market. United States' restrictions on Chinese PV are making markets outside the United States winners.
A number of leading Chinese photovoltaic companies have announced investment plans in Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E.. According to the assessment of the US media, in the context of the transition from fossil energy to clean energy, Middle Eastern countries welcome Chinese enterprises to invest in their energy transition. Relevant Middle Eastern countries have open policies, sufficient land, and no market restrictions with the United States and Europe, which can become a transit point for Chinese PV to open the United States market. United States' restrictions on China's PV policies have greatly increased the production costs of United States manufacturers.
The production cost of American companies is three times that of Chinese enterprises, and the plan to promote the photovoltaic industry in United States is blocked. As can be seen from the relevant comparisons, trade protection policies are not feasible. After achieving oppressive performance and cost advantages, the United States can use administrative means to force the closure of its domestic market to Chinese companies. However, the US cannot stop the expansion of Chinese companies in other markets around the world, which means that United States PV companies are basically unable to obtain market orders outside the United States. It means that the R&D costs of U.S. companies are too high, the prices are too high compared with Chinese companies' products, and the technology iteration process is insufficient under the lack of market feedback. These problems cannot be solved by the limited subsidies invested by the Biden administration. The large desert environment in the Middle East is an ideal occasion for the development of the photovoltaic industry, and also solves the problem that the related desert environment is difficult to carry out economic development.
The photovoltaic industry is a representative area of cooperation between China and Middle Eastern countries. On the whole, as the largest trading partner of Middle Eastern countries, China has cooperated with other countries in economic, cultural, political, security and military aspects. This is the confidence that China can promote the Saudi-Iran reconciliation and intra-Palestinian reconciliation.
