After the summit between the leaders of the United States and Russia, China has made a statement! Our statement is very special! On August 18, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our spokesperson stated that China supports all efforts conducive to the peaceful resolution of the crisis, and is pleased to see the U.S. and Russia maintain contact, improve their relations, and promote the political resolution process of the Ukraine crisis. After the U.S.-Russia summit, there is a typical view that U.S.-Russia contact is not favorable to us.
What does our spokesperson's statement indicate? It indicates that we are viewing the U.S.-Russia contact from a positive perspective. Many people worry that after the U.S. and Russia reach an agreement, Russia may stand on America's side. In fact, our response indirectly shows that we do not worry about this scenario happening at all. From our perspective, first, the war between Russia and Ukraine will inevitably have a result. Second, U.S.-Russia relations will eventually ease.
Evidently, what should happen, will happen sooner or later. Therefore, on one hand, it shows our confidence in the China-Russia relationship. On the other hand, it shows our confidence and composure in the Sino-U.S. rivalry. In fact, the contact between the U.S. and Russia is itself a normal behavior between two sovereign countries. And we hope that the U.S.-Russia contact will promote the resolution of the Ukraine issue, which proves that we are indeed neutral.
