Putin meeting throws China into Ukraine conflict | ErykBagshaw
China has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, arguing there is a “complex historical context” behind Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to bomb Kyiv, triggering fears that it will use a similar justification to invade Taiwan.
“All parties should work for peace instead of escalating the tension or hyping up the possibility of war,” Hua said, repeating the language China has consistently used to criticise the West during the crisis. “We believe that the door to a peaceful solution to the Ukraine issue is not fully shut, nor should it be shut,” Zhang said. “China has pointed out on many occasions that there is a complex historical context for the Ukraine issue and that the current situation is a result of the interplay of many factors”.
Beijing has been wrestling with how to handle the Ukraine crisis for weeks as the number of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border surged to more than 190,000 while it Since then, his Foreign Ministry has been casting the US as a key instigator in the conflict while framing China as the responsible international leader. “The US has been sending weapons to Ukraine, heightening tensions, creating panic and even hyping up the possibility of warfare,” Hua said on Wednesday night.
“There is no middle ground here. Calling for both sides to de-escalate only gives Russia a pass. Russia is the aggressor here,” she said.
