A representative official from China also called for a ceasefire and negotiations, saying that the situation in Ukraine needs a sudden stop.
Citing an expert, the Chinese newspaper network pointed out that it may be called a ‘Russian-Ukraine war’ rather than a ‘special military action’.
Of course, the U.S.-centered NATO is blamed for being behind Ukraine’s fierce counterattack, but it is a marked change compared to the attitude that has been reluctant to even call it war.
If you think about it, this change in airflow was also detected at the China-Russia summit on the 15th.

In particular, it is heard that the word ‘responsibility of a large country’ is criticizing the situation where the war situation worsens and even ‘North Korea’s ammunition import theory’ comes out.
What is worth paying attention to here is the constant discussion of European leaders’ visit to China in November.
This time, French President Macron and German Chancellor Schultz were mentioned, but Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who actually attended the UN General Assembly, is busy with the meeting with the French Foreign Minister.
