]]> During a press conference on Thursday with Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao raised the prospect of baling out eurozone. China is considering funding options for supporting European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and its successor European Stability Mechanism (ESM) that is expected to become operational in July.

China is seeing Markel’s visit as an opportunity to diversify its foreign reserves and to strengthen China-EU partnership. On the other hand, Germany has appealed for a level playing field for German firms operating in China, which have complained of restricted market access and barriers to entry in promising industries.

Germany has also asked China to influence Tehran as it relates to its nuclear program. However, Beijing has criticized EU’s unilateral sanctions on Iran, saying it is against China’s foreign policy to settle disputes with military actions or extreme sanctions.

United States threatened to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority if it continues with its decision to ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state in next month’s meeting. According to reports, the statement was made on Friday by Daniel Rubinstein, the US consul general in Jerusalem to Saeb Eraketm, the Palestinian Authority’s chief negotiator. “In case the Palestinian Authority seeks to upgrade its position at the UN through the General Assembly, the US Congress will take punitive measures against it, including a cut in US aid,” Rubinstein said, according to the statement.

Palestine currently receives $460million from the United States, more than 10 percent of the authority’s annual budget.
