On March 24, Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian answered a reporter's question on the situation in Ukraine.
A reporter asked: According to foreign media reports, an anonymous US official said that the US had reminded China that "Russia was preparing to attack Ukraine" and hoped that China would dissuade Russia.
The Chinese side disapproved of this, and passed the relevant information to the Russian side, and even asked the Russian side to take action after the Winter Olympics.
What is your response to this?
Wu Qian said that the so-called China's prior knowledge, "acquiescence" and "condon" and other claims are completely false information, intended to shirk responsibility and smear China.
China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.
The Ukraine issue has a complex history and reality, and its evolution is the result of the combined action of various factors. But which major country is the biggest initiator of the crisis?
Everyone knows that.
China has always acted objectively and impartially, made its own judgment and stated its position based on the merits of the matter itself.
China believes that in order to resolve the current crisis, we must adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respect and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries; we must adhere to the principle of indivisibility of security and accommodate the legitimate security concerns of the parties; We must focus on the long-term stability of the region and build a balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism.
Wu Qian said that China's approach is in stark contrast to the U.S. approach of creating a crisis, passing it on, and profiting from the crisis.
We hope that all parties will continue to engage in dialogue, consultation and negotiation, try to ease the situation as soon as possible, and continue to play a constructive role in seeking and realizing peace.
