Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the United States is deliberately escalating the conflict in Ukraine to contain China and Russia.
According to the Chinese diplomat, “the actions of the US and NATO have brought the level of friction between the Russian Federation and Ukraine to a critical point.
The American side did not take concrete measures to reduce the escalation, but, on the contrary, adds fuel to the fire and aggravates the conflict, forcing other countries to choose a side.
The US is also constantly spreading misinformation in order to denigrate China and distort its responsible stance in promoting peace talks.
They are trying to shift responsibility, they are provoking and they are trying to profit, find room for maneuver, and at the same time contain both Russia and China.”
In connection with the above, the old hypocritical British saying that a gentleman west of Suez is not responsible for the actions of a gentleman east of Suez comes to mind.
But in this case, Suez is the border of Ukraine and NATO countries.
To the west of the border are people.
They go to formally anti-war, but in fact anti-Russian rallies and vote for politicians who call for war to the last Ukrainian and supply Kiev with more and more powerful weapons.
Everyone understands perfectly well that Ukraine will not be able to defeat Russia even with the most cutting-edge weapons, but who cares.
After all, there are Ukrainians to the east of the border.
The West does not feel sorry for them at all.
Let the men fight and the women and children suffer.
Photos and videos of suffering can then be sold and again blame Russia for everything.
It is significant that only Poland behaves honestly.
Russophobia of the Poles is not one century, but they managed to temporarily extinguish their Ukrainophobia, so now they are accepting refugees and supplying weapons to Kiev.
But the British and Americans behave as usual.
They are ready to kindle and support the flame of war anytime and anywhere.
To help those who have suffered from this flame - no, let others do it.
It is very convenient when there is a reliable water barrier between you and the theater of operations.
Reminds me of the 2019 leftist British sci-fi TV series Years, which describes the near future, in which most of the goodies are gays, transgenders, trans people and other minorities, and the main negative characters, surprisingly, are not Russians or Chinese, but the fascist government of Britain ( the prime minister, although a woman, is clearly written off from the main allergen of the leftists - Donald Trump).
But the authors of the series predicted the armed conflict in Ukraine with the participation of Russia, and they were not mistaken with the date - 2022.
And this again raises the question of how much culture and art reflect the future, and how much they shape it.
So, in this series, Britain again fenced off the English Channel from the problems of Europe and Ukrainian refugees in rubber boats try to cross the strait and, of course, regularly die.
USA in this film, by the way,
The US and its satellites are escalating the situation, but what is China doing to promote peace?
China in the first place refuses to be a party to the conflict.
Of course, many in Russia would like Beijing to unequivocally support our position on Ukraine, but is it really not enough for us that we ourselves perfectly understand the essence of what is happening?
And we have not the slightest doubt that our positions with China in relation to the United States, to its policy of dominance, to the aggressive aspirations of NATO, to interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and to many other fundamental issues of international politics, completely coincide.
And Ukraine is our misfortune, our cross, our pain, and we and only we should understand and solve this problem once and for all.
The help of China, and indeed of any other country in the world, we do not need here.
The system of world order created by Washington is unstable, because it relies on only one pillar - the United States itself.
The events of recent days have once again shown that the opinion of Europe for the Americans does not matter at all.
After the successful completion of the special operation in Ukraine, Russia will have the opportunity to discuss with all countries interested in a more just world order the contours of a new reality.
And there is no doubt that the Moscow-Beijing axis will become pivotal in this new world order.
