If Xi was serious about being a peace maker, he would not have waited 14 months to call President Zelensky.
RT @nexta_tv: Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation

As a result of the conversation, it became known that China will send its representative on a visit to Ukraine and other countries for consultations on resolving the conflict.

A sad reality of Europe’s positioning on the PRC: Struggling to find one word, but happy to spend 60 seconds beating about the bush.

Some in the EU like to cite climate change as a shared area of interest to cooperate on with the PRC (in fact, it is the only one they can ever mention).

Sadly, once again, this wishful thinking does not correspond with facts

I absolutely agree. The @europarl_en also made numerous resolutions and statements concerning the dubious charges on which Nika Gvaramia continues to be imprisoned, and calling for his release.

I do ask: if Ambassador Lu Shaye’s views were personal, then why choose as an Ambassador somebody who questions the sovereignty of other countries? Surely even an Ambassador of the PRC should understand basic principles of international law

This is a highly inadequate response from the HRVP. When the very sovereignty of EU member states and of allies is questioned, I expect that the High Representative at the very least summons the PRC Ambassador

If Macron’s position hasn’t changed, then why did he make questionable statements on a visit to the PRC knowing fully well that his words will be fully seized upon by the CCP propaganda machine? That’s either self-denial or naivety
