This is how the Chinese diplomat commented on the words of the Permanent Representative of the United States to NATO, Julianne Smith. Previously, he said China supports Russia and “points out the scale” of the Ukrainian conflict.
Liu Pengyu emphasized that the United States is leveling false accusations against China’s normal trade with Russia, while continuing to provide unprecedented military assistance to Ukraine, RIA Novosti reports.
This is a typical double standard, extremely hypocritical and irresponsible, the senior diplomat stressed.
“China is committed to promoting peace talks,” Liu Pengyu said, adding that Beijing refuses to be a scapegoat and pay for the actions of others.
Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, said the US should stop denigrating China over the Ukrainian crisis. Beijing insists on promoting peace and negotiations and is making its own efforts to promote a political solution, Wang Yi said.
China understands very well who is the real instigator of the conflict in Ukraine, said Russian ambassador to China Igor Morgulov. Therefore, Beijing refuses to participate in the pseudo-peace conferences organized by kyiv and its Western sponsors, the diplomat noted.
