Beijing will “work with the international community to promote dialogue and consultation, address the concerns of all parties and strive for common security.”
Referring to the upcoming first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, Qin said Beijing will “continue to promote peace talks.” “At the same time, we call on the affected countries to stop pouring oil on the fire as soon as possible.” In addition, “the blame should no longer be shifted to China”. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that China might consider selling arms to Russia.
Referring to the island of Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory, Qin said countries should “stop creating a riot by shouting ‘Today Ukraine, Tomorrow Taiwan'”. China had announced a proposal for a “political solution” in the Ukraine conflict for this week. At the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi declared that Beijing was against attacks on nuclear power plants and against the use of biochemical weapons and was ready to cooperate with “all parties”.
