Turkey's Anadolu Agency posted on 29 December 2025 an article titled "China Opposes Israeli Recognition of Somaliland, Slams Foreign Interference" by Riyaz ul Khaliq.
China firmly opposed Israeli recognition of Somaliland, supported Somalia's territorial integrity, and said no country should encourage separatist forces.
Comment: This statement on Somaliland supports China's policy of establishing control over Taiwan, which happens to maintain a liaison office in Hargeisa, capital of Somaliland, and has close relations with the government.
