There is no will for peace to smear China and Russia! US media: White House officials even called the Russian-Ukrainian ceasefire "unacceptable"
In the context of China's repeated statement of its position on persuading peace and promoting talks on the Ukraine issue, the United States is increasingly unable to sit still? According to the US "Politician" news network, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, in an interview with Fox News on the 19th local time, not only smeared China and Russia for "wanting to rewrite the rules of the game on a global scale", but also once again declared that the call for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was "unacceptable." Earlier, Kirby publicly declared that the United States did not support China's possible proposal for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, saying that it would only benefit Russia and be detrimental to Ukraine. In this regard, Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the US statement exposed that it has neither the will nor confidence in the peaceful settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and in turn, deliberately distorts and slanders China's consistent position of persuading peace and promoting talks.
According to the "Politician" news network, talking about China and Russia, Kirby said in an interview on the same day that the two countries have been strengthening cooperation. He declared that China and Russia "want to rewrite the rules of the game on a global scale" and accused them of undermining the so-called "rules-based international order."
This cliché has been heard many times in the world.
In response to the US attack and smear, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister and spokesperson Hua Chunying posted on Twitter on February 2, satirizing that the United States' "compliance" with international rules is abandoning international rules, and listed the United States in recent years to withdraw from a number of international organizations or suspend the implementation of a number of international agreements. Wang Wenbin also said on the 22st of last month that facts fully show that the United States is the number one destroyer of international rules and order, and hegemonic and bullying is the "American standard" for treating international rules and handling international affairs.
The "Politician" news network report also mentioned that China recently released the "China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukrainian Crisis" (hereinafter referred to as the "position paper"), including 12 aspects such as respecting the sovereignty of all countries, abandoning the Cold War mentality, ceasefire and stopping the war, and launching peace talks. In this regard, Kirby claimed that the Biden administration still has "some doubts" about China's attitude.
According to the report, Kirby also once again touched on the topic of a ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and repeated the statement that calling for a ceasefire at this time "will be unacceptable", and the reason he gave was that "it means recognizing Russia's conquest (of Ukraine) so far." On the 17th, Kirby had told reporters that a ceasefire in Ukraine would now mean that the territory obtained by Russia was consolidated and "violated the Charter of the United Nations."
Regarding the Ukraine crisis, China has repeatedly expressed its position of persuading peace and promoting talks. At the regular press conference held by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the 14th of this month, a reporter asked, "What role can China play in peacefully resolving the Ukrainian crisis?" In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that in viewing and dealing with international and regional hotspot issues, China has always adhered to the foreign policy purpose of safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, and is committed to promoting the peaceful resolution of conflicts through diplomatic negotiations and other means according to the merits of the matter itself, and the same is true on the Ukraine issue. He also said that not long ago, China issued the document "China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis", putting forward 12 propositions such as respecting the sovereignty of all countries, abandoning the Cold War mentality, ceasefire and cessation, starting peace talks, and stopping unilateral sanctions, the core of which is to persuade peace and promote talks. On this basis, China is willing to work with the international community to continue to play a constructive role in the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.
Zhang Hong said in an opinion article in the Global Times on March 3 that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has complex historical longitude and practical contradictions, which not only involve the complex historical entanglement of the two Slavic peoples, but also mixed with the actual strategic differences between Russia and the United States and the West. Zhang Hong also said that the United States advertised its position on Ukraine as "politically correct", but the result was to constantly stimulate the escalation of the conflict. China's proposal to persuade peace and promote talks is a solution to the crisis that seeks to address both the symptoms and the root causes, which not only demonstrates an objective and fair position, but also demonstrates China's responsibility as a responsible major country in the face of international risks and challenges. This Chinese position and the "China Plan" also seek to accommodate the legitimate concerns of all parties, balancing short-term security demands with long-term peace mechanism building. We have seen that China's position has received positive responses from many countries, including Russia and Ukraine. The fact that the United States continues to ignore China's efforts in the direction of persuading peace and promoting talks, and still blindly smears and accuses it, which also reflects that the United States has not sincerely promoted the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis as soon as possible, and has not seriously understood China's position and proposal on a comprehensive settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
