After insisting on the respect of the “principle” of sovereignty, Beijing changes from your, insists on the history “complicated” of Ukraine with Russia and accuses the United States of having “threw from the Oil on the fire “.

China’s equilibrism calling “both parties” to dialogue will not last long. Thursday, February 24, during a telephone interview with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister, said that even though Beijing “has always respected the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of all Country, we also saw that the Ukrainian question has its own history, unique and complicated “. He added: “We understand the legitimate security concerns of Russia.” The same day, at his daily press conference, his spokesman, Hua Chunying, systematically refused to speak of “invasion”. For China – which will evacuate its nationals of Ukraine – it is a “special military operation”, a Russian official term taken up by the Chinese media.
From Wednesday, Hua Chunying had clearly made the responsibility of the Ukrainian crisis. “A key question here is [to know] what role have played the United States, the culprit of the current tensions around Ukraine. If someone continues to pour oil on fire by accusing others of Do not do everything to extinguish the fire, such behavior is clearly irresponsible and immoral, “she said.
Resulting the Kremlin Rhetoric, Hua Chunying said: “When the United States expands NATO to the East, five times, until the threshold of Russia and deploy strategic and offensive weapons despite the Assurances given to Russia, have they thought of the consequences of putting a large country back to the wall? “
” NATO has become an offensive alliance “
The question of territorial integrity is still considered very sensitive in China, but Hua Chunying has challenged the United States White Knight’s posture and has embarked on a long anti-American diatribe. “Does the United States respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries when they foment bright revolutions and intervene in their domestic affairs anywhere in the world? We would like the United States to take these questions seriously and give up their double standards. “
Not surprising, Beijing had also criticized the first sanctions taken by Westerners against Russia. “Our position is that sanctions are never an effective measure to solve problems. We are constantly opposed to all unilateral sanctions,” added the spokesman.
