chinese representative refutes groundless accusations and calls for an early ceasefire
in response to the remarks of the us representative, geng shuang, china's deputy permanent representative to the united nations, said that the us representative spread false narratives in his remarks, distorting and slandering china's position on the ukraine issue. china is not the creator of the ukrainian crisis, let alone a party to it. china has not provided weapons to any party in the conflict, and has carried out normal economic and trade cooperation with countries around the world, including russia and ukraine. china's position on the ukraine issue is objective and fair, and does not favor any party.
geng shuang said that china calls on the parties to the conflict to demonstrate political will, meet each other halfway, cease fire and start peace talks as soon as possible. the international community should create favorable conditions and provide practical assistance for this. all parties concerned should give priority to peace and humanity and devote resources and energy to diplomatic efforts to cease fire and stop fighting.
geng shuang stressed that in may this year, china and brazil jointly issued a six-point consensus on the political solution to the ukrainian crisis, which reflects the greatest common denominator that the international community can form around the ukrainian crisis and has received positive responses from many countries. in addition, african countries have also put forward ten peaceful proposals to resolve the crisis, and some other countries in the global south have also put forward similar initiatives, which fully demonstrates that diplomatic negotiations and political solutions meet the common expectations of most countries and are what the international community wants.
