Beijing, December 5 (Xinhua) — China's new $100 million in aid to Palestine is intended to help improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian announced on Friday.

The diplomat made the statement at a regular departmental press briefing when asked to elaborate on China's intention to provide aid aimed at alleviating the humanitarian crisis and post-conflict reconstruction in the Palestinian enclave.

On December 4, at a joint media meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China would provide $100 million in aid to Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and support its recovery and reconstruction. Furthermore, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in turn, sent a message of gratitude to Xi Jinping.

As Lin Jian recalled, Xi Jinping also announced that China and France will work together to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue as soon as possible.

Noting that more than two years have passed since the latest round of conflict in Gaza, which triggered an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, Lin Jian stressed that China is deeply concerned about this issue.

He noted that since the beginning of this confrontation, China has provided numerous shipments of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through the UN, Egypt, Jordan and other channels, which has been welcomed and highly appreciated by the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people.

According to Lin Jian, the Chinese President called the Palestinian issue a test of the effectiveness of the global governance system and called on the international community to face the root cause of the issue head-on, demonstrate responsibility, and take decisive action to address historical injustice and uphold fairness and justice.

China firmly supports the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights and will continue to work tirelessly with the international community to promote the implementation of a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, alleviate the humanitarian situation in the enclave, and achieve an early political settlement of the Palestinian issue based on a two-state solution, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman concluded.

Brussels, December 5 (Xinhua) — The European Commission (EC) on Friday imposed fines totaling 120 million euros on social media platform X for violating transparency obligations. This marks the first decision in the EU for non-compliance with the Digital Services Act (DSA).

According to the EC press release, the penalty relates to three apparent violations of the DSA, including the misleading design of the "blue tick" X, the lack of transparency in the advertising repository /data storage/, and the platform's failure to provide researchers with access to public data.

According to the European Commission, using the "blue tick" that any user can receive after payment to indicate "verified accounts" exposes users to fraud, including identity theft and other forms of manipulation.

The EC added that the X advertising repository does not meet the DSA's transparency and accessibility requirements, and the social network also fails to fulfill its commitment to provide researchers with access to its public data.

This is the first time the EC has ruled against the DSA. This law, which came into force a year ago, regulates the activities of online intermediaries and platforms to prevent illegal and harmful online activity, as well as the spread of disinformation.
