“China will not shore up fire, nor will it burn oil, let alone do business for profit”.
It has been noted that China’s relations have evolved over a period of 31 years and have reached a level of strategic partnership that has contributed to the respective development revitalization of both countries. I commend President Zerrouski for his many expressions of interest in developing euphoria and cooperation with China, and I thank the parties for their strong assistance in the withdrawal of Chinese citizens last year. Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is the political foundation of relations between China and the Russian Federation. The two sides want to see the future, to insist on a long-term vision and a two-State relationship, to perpetuate a mutually respectful and sincere tradition of the two sides, and to move forward the strategic partnership of the Central African Republic. China’s will to develop relations is consistent and clear. Regardless of how the international wind clouds have changed, China stands ready to work with the parties to move forward in mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.
The Russian-Unian conflict has lasted for more than a year since February 2022. The United States National Public Radio (NPR) stated that, in his message, Chinese leaders had stated that China was not a producer or party to the crisis in Ukraine. “As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a responsible Power, we are not going to cross fire nor to burn oil, let alone to profit. The Chinese side has done so well.”
According to the Agence Française, it is stated that China will send the Special Representative of the Government of China for Eurasia to visit countries such as Ukraine to provide in-depth communication with the parties on the political settlement of the crisis in Ukraine. China has provided multiple humanitarian assistance to the U.N. We are ready to continue to do what we can.
Since 2019, China has been in the position of the first major trading partner of Ukraine for four consecutive years. In his message, Zerrougui stated that the U side is committed to a Chinese policy and hopes to cooperate fully with China in opening a new chapter of our relations and working together to maintain peace and stability in the world. Zerrouski presented his views on the current crisis in Ukraine, thanked China for its humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and welcomed the important role played by China in restoring peace and resolving the crisis through diplomatic means.
NPR stated that on the occasion of China’s appeal, China was playing a mediating role, leading to an agreement to repair the Middle East competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia. “Taking into account, however, that the positions of Moscow and Kyiv remain very distant, there is little possibility of a breakthrough in the Ukrainian conflict.” The analysts say that Ukraine is preparing for the spring counter-attacks that may soon begin in order to take back land occupied by Russia, and that the success of these actions could significantly reshape the conflict.
In a social media statement issued on 26 February by Zerrouski, I believe that the message with the Chinese leadership and the appointment of Ambassador of Ukraine to China “will provide a strong impetus for the development of our bilateral relations”. According to Agence France, the spokesperson for Zerrougui stated on 26 days that the two leaders “haved a close to one hour of communication”. The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Yalmürk, stated that this was a “important dialogue”.
On 26 May, Zerski appointed Paville Ribbon as Ambassador of Ukraine to New China. According to the Ukrainian National Correspondence, the new Ambassador was born in Kyiv in 1965 and served as Minister of Strategic Industry of Ukraine.
Positive assessment by the parties of the message of the leaders of Central America
Russia, the United States, France and others spoke on 26 days to the leaders of China. According to Russian and Russian satellite news agencies, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zaharova, noted that China was prepared to establish a negotiating process and that the Russian-Russian position of principle was broadly consistent with China’s position paper. At the same time, she criticized Ukraine for its lack of willingness to negotiate in good faith.
According to Reuters, the strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Committee of the United States, Koby 26, said that the United States welcomed the words of the leaders of Central America, which were “a good thing”, but whether that was a meaningful step in the process leading to peace, “we are not yet clear”. France stated that an official of the Presidency of France, on 26 June, stated that France “encourages all dialogue” in order to promote the settlement of the conflict, in accordance with international law and the fundamental interests of Ukraine, as well as the message transmitted by the President of France during his visit to Beijing earlier this month. The European version of the Political News Network states that the message of the leaders of Central America is “good news” for Europe.
Citing the words of the Russian State Duma’s Member, Demetry Novikov, on 26 September, China understood that the conflict in Ukraine was part of the complex problems of the modern world and that, in order to address it in a comprehensive manner, Beijing should be open to dialogue with the parties to the conflict, so that the Chinese leadership’s message to the Zerrougui following the Russian President’s Putin talks was entirely logical.
The Director of the European Institute of the Chinese Institute of International Studies, Choi Hong Kong, said that the message was unquestionably very important for journalists in the Global Times and could be seen as an important part of a series of actions by China to advance the resolution of the crisis in Ukraine. China’s desire to help achieve peace was demonstrated by the visits of the President to Russia at the beginning of the year, to the leaders of Makeron in Beijing, the President of the European Union Commission, von der Lehn, and to Zerrougui.
Wang Xiaodi, a fellow from Central Asia in Eastern Europe of the Federation of Social Sciences, said that, to date, China had become almost a co-accredited mediator, such as Russian, U and France, which demonstrated that China’s position on the crisis in Ukraine was just and objective, and that China was a responsible Power with no private interest. The representative of China will visit countries such as Ukraine to hear the views of the parties and seek the maximum number of conventions during the consultations. China will build on its experience to enhance its capacity to maintain world peace stability and improve global governance.
