In response to a question on the situation in Ukraine on the 28th, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin expressed the hope that all parties can work with China to cool the tension rather than add fuel to the fire. China will continue to play a constructive role in seeking and realizing peace. At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: it is reported that an unnamed senior official of the United States said that since December last year, the United States has pointed out that Russia is preparing to attack Ukraine in six high-level dialogues such as the US China foreign ministers' meeting and begged China to dissuade Russia. China disagreed with this and even transmitted the relevant information to Russia, emphasizing that China will not try to stop Russia's action. What is China's comment on this? Wang Wenbin said that China firmly opposes the US fabricating false information and tarnishing China's image. Recently, Thomas Friedman, a US expert on international issues, and gabad, a former US congressman, have criticized the role of the United States in the Ukrainian crisis. The US side should reflect on itself. He stressed that China has always decided our position and policy based on the merits of the matter itself, and has always stood on the side of peace, cooperation, justice and justice. *** Wang Wenbin introduced that state councilor and foreign minister Wang Yi also spoke by telephone with foreign ministers and dignitaries of many countries, expounded China's five point position on the Ukrainian issue, and stressed that the Cold War mentality should be completely abandoned, and the reasonable security concerns of all countries should be respected. The top priority is for all parties to exercise necessary restraint to prevent the situation in Ukraine from deteriorating or even getting out of control. The safety of civilians' lives and property should be effectively guaranteed, especially to prevent large-scale humanitarian crises. China supports and encourages all diplomatic efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. Ukraine should become a bridge between the East and the west, rather than becoming the forefront of the confrontation between major powers. China also supports equal dialogue between the EU and Russia on European security issues, upholds the concept of indivisibility of security, and finally forms a balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism. "China's approach is in sharp contrast to the practices of individual countries in creating, passing on and profiting from crises. I believe we will draw a fair conclusion on which approach is conducive to peace, stability and long-term stability in Europe." Wang Wenbin said. "We hope that all parties can work with China to cool the tension rather than add fuel to the fire, and promote a diplomatic solution rather than further escalate the situation. China will continue to play a constructive role in seeking and realizing peace." He said. In response to a reporter's inquiry about China's position on the exclusion of Russia from the global Interbank Financial Communication Association (Swift) payment system by some western countries, Wang Wenbin said that China does not agree to solve the problem by means of sanctions, but also opposes unilateral sanctions without the basis of international law. Practice has long proved that sanctions can not only solve problems, but also create new problems, which will not only cause economic "double loss" or "multiple loss" situation, but also interfere with the process of political settlement. In response to a reporter's question about Russian President Vladimir Putin ordering the Russian military nuclear forces to maintain a high state of alert, Wang Wenbin said that China is highly concerned about the changes in the situation in Ukraine and supports all efforts conducive to easing the situation and political settlement. China has taken note of the statements made by relevant parties on the nuclear issue. Wang Wenbin stressed that all countries' reasonable security concerns should be taken seriously around European security issues. In the case of five consecutive rounds of eastward expansion of NATO, Russia's legitimate demands in terms of security should be paid attention to and properly resolved. All parties concerned should maintain calm and restraint to avoid further escalation of the situation. In response to a reporter's question on China Russia trade cooperation, Wang Wenbin said that China and Russia will continue to carry out normal trade cooperation in the spirit of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.
