Jinping in Russia: Beijing is neutral on Russia-Ukraine war… China said on Jinping’s visit to Moscow – visit was for friendship and peace

He accused the US of lacking impartiality and of “fanning” the conflict in its own interests by arming Ukraine. Significantly, the US, NATO and allied countries have been helping Ukraine since the beginning of the war, while China, while avoiding direct involvement, is providing financial assistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said, “President Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia was for friendship, cooperation and peace, which has had a positive impact in the international community.”

Western countries rejected China’s proposal

He said that China would “continue to play a positive role for the political settlement of the Ukraine issue”. Wang was probably referring to the 12-point peace proposal sent by Beijing that calls for a ceasefire and talks. However, this proposal from China has been largely rejected by Western countries because Beijing is very close to Moscow and is not seen as a neutral mediator. Also, the situation regarding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine has not been clarified in the proposal.

Regarding Ukraine, Wang said Russia and China agreed that the UN Charter and international laws should be respected. He said both countries oppose the unilateral imposition of economic sanctions by the US and other countries on Putin and his financial backers.
