  1. “It is vital that the United Nations and the Security Council play a leading role and undertake effective measures to prevent terrorist organizations from using the Internet to broadcast terrorist and violent audiovisual materials, spread extremist ideology, recruit new members, raise funds, instigate plans and execute terrorist actions. China supports the international community's efforts in strengthening exchanges of information and intelligence, sharing effective practices, enhancing capacity-building and taking joint actions in order to maintain international peace and security. Finally, I wish to express my best wishes to Chad for its assumption of the presidency for the month of December.”

  2. “Thirdly, this month the Council held an open debate on the question of counter-terrorism (see S/PV.7316) and adopted a presidential statement at the end of the meeting. China commends Australia for that initiative and for the efforts it has carried out in that connection. At present, the international counter-terrorism landscape remains very grim. The means of recruiting and financing terrorist organizations have become more internationalized, with young peoplejoining their ranks and a greater reliance on digital technology. China calls upon the international community to abandon double standards in fighting terrorism, observe the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the countries concerned.”

  3. “China joins the international community in continuing to work constructively towards a solution for the question of Palestine. Secondly, on the question of Burundi, the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) is coming to an end at the end of next month. During the past few years, BINUB has worked actively to help the Government of Burundi to carry out peacebuilding, reconstruction and economic and social development efforts. We hope that BINUB will strengthen its coordination with the Government so as to achieve a successful transition from the Integrated Office to the United Nations country team. At the same time, we call upon the international community to continue to provide assistance to Burundi in preparation for next year's general election on the basis of full respect for Burundi's sovereignty.”

  4. “We call upon the partiesto exerciserestraintandurgelsraelto immediately stop the construction of settlements and treat seriously the legitimate concerns of Palestine, the Arab States and the Islamic world with respect to the religious sanctuary in East Jerusalem and avoid any words or actions that might further escalate the situation. The relevant parties, working on behalf of the international community, should strengthen coordination and work in synergy to bring the parties back to the right path of talks and negotiations. It is imperative that the Council take the required responsibility; inaction can no longer be an option. China calls for swift Council action towards holding consultations on the draft resolution submitted by Jordan on behalf of the Arab States so as to respond to their legitimate demands and those of Palestine.”

  5. “China commends the Australian presidency for its successful conduct of the work of the Council for this month. With regard to the Council's work for November, I wish to stress the following three points. First, on the situation in the Middle East, 24 November was the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. This day reminds the international community once again of the urgent need to find a solution to the question of Palestine. Recently, tension has been growing between Palestine and Israel which China finds very worrisome.”

  8. “The priority now is to implement an immediate ceasefire through political consultations, carry out a comprehensive dialogue and, on the basis of initiatives such as the Geneva agreement, fully leverage the role of existing dialogue and the liaison mechanism in search of a comprehensive political solution. The Ukrainian crisis can be addressed only through political means. In that process, the legitimate demands of all sides and ethnic groups have to be fully accommodated in order to achieve a balance ofinterests for all.”

Armed conflicts have continued to escalate in eastern Ukraine, resulting in severe casualties and property damage. China is deeply concerned about the situation. In armed conflicts, civilians are the most fragile and vulnerable group. Three days ago, Mr. Ging of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs briefed Council members here in this Chamber on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. The international community should call on all parties to take, as soon as possible, actions aimed at easing the situation in Ukraine, building mutual trust and finding a political solution to the crisis.”

  10. “We urge the parties to stop answering violence with violence and to implement a sustained ceasefire. China has consistently held that peace talks represent the only way to achieve peaceful coexistence between the two countries. We urge the parties to create the conditions necessary to a resumption of talks. We appreciate the efforts of Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon, Egypt and the other Arab countries, as well as the international community, to improve the situation. China's special envoy on the Middle East has also been conducting shuttle mediation between Israel and Palestine. China stands ready to work with the international community to promote a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the issue of Palestine in order to end the current crisis in Gaza as soon as possible.”

  11. “In the meantime, the parties concerned should hew to the overall direction of political settlement by stepping up efforts to relaunch the Geneva peace talks as soon as possible and to seek a comprehensive political settlement of the issue on the basis of the 2012 Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex). They should blaze a middle path that is consistent with Syria's national conditions and accommodates the interests of all parties. China stands ready to play a constructive role in that regard. On the issue of Palestine and Israel, the Gaza conflict has caused massive civilian casualties and destruction, leading to a severe humanitarian crisis. We urge all parties to implement an immediate ceasefire. We condemn all acts of force against innocent civilians.”

  16. “The Sudanese Government plays a key role in the promotion of the political process. Recently, the Sudanese Government has been committed to promoting the peace process in Darfur, implementing the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur in good faith, and diffusing intercommunal ethnic conflicts. In the mean time, it has invited rebels to join the national dialogue with a View to seeking a comprehensive political settlement for the question of Darfur. The rebels, on the other hand, have also reiterated that they are ready to seek the reunification and territorial integrity of the Sudan. China welcomes that. We call on the international community to provide active support and assistance to the Sudanese Government, and we hope that the International Criminal Court (ICC) will play a constructive role in that regard.”

  17. “Mr. Zhao Yong (China) (spoke in Chinese): I have listened carefully to the briefing by Prosecutor Bensouda and the statement made by the Permanent Representative of the Sudan. The question of Darfur is very complicated and involves many elements, including the political process, security and stability, development and reconstruction, humanitarian assistance and justice and judicial order. Among those elements, the political element is key. Only by promoting sustained progress in the political process can lasting peace be achieved in Darfur and solid foundations be laid for progress in other areas, such as justice and the rule of law. China believes that all of the efforts of the international community regarding Darfur should first facilitate pushing the political process in Darfur forward and then achieving other goals.”
