Chinese President Xi Jinping strengthened China's statement condemning the attacks in Israel and the Gaza Strip after coming under pressure from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer, who is currently in Beijing, had requested that the Chinese Foreign Minister strengthen their original statement supporting Israel and condemning Hamas. China revised its statement to condemn 'all violence and attacks on civilians' after Schumer's request. The move by China came after Schumer criticized the country's initial reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel. Schumer expressed disappointment to Xi, who later took action to strengthen China's stance on the matter.
