China Somaliland recognition 2025 : BEIJING — China has issued its own scathing critique of the Israel-Somaliland recognition, viewing it through the lens of its own “One China” policy. Because Somaliland maintains a “Representative Office” from Taiwan, Beijing has long viewed Hargeisa’s quest for independence as a threat to global territorial norms.

Chinese security agencies stated today that Israel’s move is a “dangerous precedent” that threatens maritime navigation in the Red Sea. By supporting Mogadishu’s claim over the north, China is positioning itself as the “guardian of sovereignty” in Africa, potentially offering Somalia increased military and naval support to counter the perceived Israeli-Somaliland strategic axis.
