So says Middle East News Online who cites an Israeli official making the claim.  

JERUSALEM [MENL] — Israel has determined that the Hamas regime has been ordering weapons and military equipment from China.  Israeli officials said the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip has sent agents to Beijing to negotiate weapons deals with state-owned Chinese companies. In 2008, they said, Chinese-origin extended-range rockets were acquired and sent to the Gaza Strip via Iran.  ”We now believe that Hamas has been dealing directly with Chinese suppliers, rather than through Iran,” an official said.

    This proves that the only reason Hamas wants a cease fire is to rearm. They may be figuring that Israel will be less likely to fire on Chinese flagged ships carrying the arms. Of course, the peace loving Chinese wouldn't sell weapons to terrorists, would they?

    Next time,don't let ANY survivors in Gaza.Dead muslims are
    the best ones.These won't purchase nor operate any chinese
    weapon.
    It's Israel's FAULT to let the israeli population to be targeted
    on a DAILY BASIS by Hamas's thugs as the war waged against
    them didn't succeed with their capitulation,therefore I 'd tell
    the ragheads that Israel's patience simply is over,so is mine
    with the Israeli government.
