China on Friday denounced the Israeli army's attack on the Gaza refugee camp on the same day, in which nine Palestinians were killed and at least 20 others injured.
In reply to a reporter's question on the attack, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said that the Chinese side appealed to the Israeli side to immediately stop its armed intrusion, so as to create conditions for the resumption of peace and stability in the region.
