“Overall, the Turkish press showed interest in Beijing and Ankara’s efforts to reconcile their diverging views on Palestine and the situation of the Uyghurs. However, the primary focus of Turkish commentators has been the potential of enhancing Sino-Turkish economic ties. This emphasis likely stems from Türkiye’s ongoing economic struggles and growing disillusionment with the EU and the West amidst the Gaza War.”
Ahmet Faruk Isik and Leonardo Bruni (ChinaMed, T.wai) on how the Turkish press covered FM Hakan Fidan’s trip to China, the “Beijing Declaration” and BYD’s US$1 billion investment in Türkiye, in the latest issue of the ChinaMed Observer.
