China is the one that solves the problem, not the one that creates it.

　　"The Chinese side has been promoting peace and talks, calling for a ceasefire and ending the war, and will continue to do so. Blind condemnation will not help. What we need is wisdom, courage and effective diplomacy." Qin Gang said that China maintains good relations with Russia and Ukraine, and also Maintain close communication with the United States and Europe.
