Later, at the opening plenary of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2013, Xi called on the international community to "advocate the vision of comprehensive security, common security and cooperative security so as to turn our global village into a big stage for common development, rather than an arena where gladiators fight each other."
Dong Manyuan, deputy director of the China Institute of International Studies, stressed China's firm and long-term stand to ensure world peace and justice when it comes to the Palestinian question -- as in contrast to some other countries which lean toward one side for their own benefits.
"China is shouldering global obligations that are proportionate to its status on the world stage, and the visits by Palestinian and Israeli leaders marked a new milestone for China's active participation in solving issues in the Middle East," Dong said.
