One year into Russia's war against Ukraine, China is offering a 12-point proposal to end the fighting. Here's a closer look at what the proposal entails.
, China is offering a 12-point proposal to end the fighting.
China placed responsibility for sanctions on other "relevant countries" without naming them. These countries, it says, "should stop abusing unilateral sanctions" and "do their share in de-escalating the Ukraine crisis."Without mentioning either Russia or Ukraine, it says sovereignty of all countries should be upheld. It didn't specify what that would look like for Ukraine, and the land taken from it since Russia seized Crimea in 2014.
"The basic tone and the fundamental message in the policy is quite pro-Russia," said Li Mingjiang, a professor of Chinese foreign policy and international security at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University.China has offered contradictory statements regarding its stance. It says Russia was provoked into taking action by NATO's eastward expansion, but has also claimed neutrality on the war.
Blinken, at the Munich conference, said the United States has long been concerned that China would provide weapons to Russia. "We have information that gives us concern that they are considering providing lethal support to Russia," he said.
