On Thursday, the spokeswoman of the Foreign Ministry of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Ning, demonstrated Beijing’s support for the addition of Palestine to the UN. ⠀
The spokeswoman also called for the United Nations not to delay the decision any longer and to take action to stop the genocide and end the bloodshed as soon as possible. ⠀
On the other hand, the United States said it will not accept Palestine’s request until a comprehensive agreement is reached with its ally, Israel.
Question: is a country sovereign and independent if no other country recognizes it’s independence and it lacks the powers of de facto independence?
If so, then I guess I really could declare that my house is independence and have a bunch of freedom fighters show up to my door…
