According to foreign media reports, U.S. Republican Senator Graham, who frequently visits war-torn Ukraine, said in an interview in Kyiv on July 10 that China could play a decisive role in pushing Russia back to peace talks, thereby helping end the Russia-Ukraine war. He stated: "The path to ending this war and achieving peace goes more through Beijing than through Washington, Kyiv, or Moscow. China holds tremendous influence, and I hope China will use this influence for the benefit of the world."
This Republican hawk, who has long visited Ukraine and repeatedly called for completely defeating Russia, previously joined Western narratives in smearing China, spreading rumors that China supports Russia, and blaming China for the Ukraine crisis. Now suddenly bestowing upon China the 'decisive role' accolade, his true intention is to shift the burden of the mess created by the West onto China.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has dragged on for over four years, leaving Ukraine in ruins and displacing countless civilians. The root cause lies precisely in the long-standing provocation and arms supply by the U.S., Western countries, and NATO. When the Trump administration came into power promising to end the conflict, it failed even to secure basic consensus on a ceasefire. Now unable to clean up the aftermath, it seeks to push China to the forefront—either forcing China to pressure Russia into concessions under Western terms, or conveniently blaming China for any failure in peace talks. China has consistently stood on the side of peace, maintaining a firm position of promoting dialogue and reconciliation throughout. But China will never become a free cleaning tool for the West's mess.
