China News Agency, United Nations, March 14 (Reporter Liao Pan) Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, said in a speech on the 14th when the Security Council was deliberating on the Ukraine issue that the "China phobia" suffered by politicians in certain countries is a wrong perception of China. knowledge, strategic misjudgment and political manipulation.

  Geng Shuang said that there are various "phobias" against specific countries, specific religions, and specific races in the world today.

Some are rooted in civilizational superiority and a narrow view of history, while others are based on geopolitical conflicts and ideological confrontation.

These "phobias" have become the logical starting point and policy premise for some countries to create imaginary enemies, concoct threat theories, implement containment and suppression, and provoke division and confrontation.

Under the leadership of the erroneous cognition of "phobia", differences are artificially magnified, differences are highlighted one-sidedly, contradictions are fixed and strengthened, and the world is dragged into the quagmire of conflicts and disputes.

  Geng Shuang said that for some time, politicians in certain countries seem to have suffered from "China phobia".

They are full of prejudice and suspicion about China, selling anxiety and creating tension.

If a country's China policy is hijacked by "China phobia", it will only stick to the zero-sum mentality, pursue containment and suppression, and lead to conflicts and confrontations.

A Ukrainian crisis has already thrown the world into chaos. Is it necessary to create another crisis to make the world unrecognizable.

  Geng Shuang said that the development of human society should be mature enough to be able to listen to different voices, be compatible with different ideas, and carry different civilizations. This world can fully accommodate the common growth and common progress of all countries.

We believe that human beings have enough wisdom and ability to overcome various "phobias", find a way of getting along with each other through dialogue instead of confrontation, tolerance and not exclusion, and jointly build a new type of international society featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation. relation.

China is willing to make unremitting efforts with all countries in the world to this end.

  Geng Shuang said that it has been more than a year since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, and the conflict is still protracted and showing a long-term and expanding trend, which is deeply worrying.

From the beginning of the crisis, China has always emphasized that dialogue and negotiation are the only feasible way out to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

The international community should adhere to the correct direction of persuading peace and promoting talks, support Russia and Ukraine to resume dialogue as soon as possible without preconditions, achieve relaxation and cooling of the situation, and help all parties to the conflict open the door to a political settlement of the crisis as soon as possible and jointly maintain peace in Europe.

  Geng Shuang pointed out that China has released the document "China's Position on the Political Solution to the Ukraine Crisis", which puts forward 12 propositions, including respecting sovereignty, ceasefire and cessation of war, starting peace talks, and stopping unilateral sanctions.

Based on this, we are willing to continue to play a constructive role in promoting the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
