China calls for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine as neutrality claims are questioned.


Hong Kong – China has renewed its call for a political resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion, as the US and its allies increase pressure on China’s growing partnership with Moscow. In a new position paper, China’s Foreign Ministry called for a resumption of peace talks and stressed its opposition to the use of nuclear weapons, a stance that Chinese leader Xi Jinping had communicated to Western leaders last year.

The document is part of China’s latest efforts to present itself as a neutral peace broker, as it tries to balance its “no-limits” relationship with Moscow and fraying ties with the West. However, China’s claim to neutrality has been severely undermined by its refusal to acknowledge the nature of the conflict and its diplomatic and economic support for Moscow.
