In 2024,World Economic ForumThe annual meeting was held in Davos, Switzerland, on the eve of the meeting, with Yermak, an adviser to Zelensky of Ukraine, and the Swiss Federal Councilor and Foreign MinisterCassieSri Lanka hosted a conference on the theme of the Russia-Ukraine conflictInternationalMeeting of Diplomats. At the meeting, Yermak andCassieSri Lanka has issued a "call" to China, hoping that China will participate in the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and put pressure on Russia to end the war.
Ukraine's demands appear to be a kind of "dictation" to China, which they expect to play an important role in putting pressure on them to reach the outcome they demand. At that time, more than 80 people from 18 Asian countries, 12 African countries and 6 South American countries participated in the meeting, and Ukraine carried out a kind of formal "moral kidnapping" against China, which China rejected the request.
Spokesperson for China***Mao NingAt the regular press conference, it responded to Ukraine's request and made it clear that China does not support Ukraine's position and demands. In fact, as early as the beginning of last year, China issued a "On Political SettlementUkrainian crisisChina's Position", which comprehensively expounds the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and puts forward 12 views on respecting the sovereignty of all countries, easing tensions, and resolving the conflict in a peaceful manner.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, Russia stepped forward to relieve China. Less than 24 hours after the end of the meeting, Russia made two statements in a row to express their views on the meeting and made it clear that for them, the meeting was purely for the sake of talking, and without their participation, no discussion would be fruitful.
A Russian spokesman further said that if Western countries want to negotiate on the Ukraine issue, they must stop their armed support for Ukraine. The meaning of this sentence is obvious, as long as Russia does not agree, no matter how much pressure on China is in vain, any tricks are useless. They will compromise only if they meet Russia's demands.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for two years, and now Ukraine should be soberly aware of the reality. It is impossible for them to get what they seek on the battlefield and want to get it at the negotiating table. This kind of "peace plan", which is like a dream, is neither supported nor conducive to Ukraine's own development. If Ukraine is willing to accept the peace plan proposed by China, China welcomes it at any time, otherwise it will not be discussed.
From this incident in which Ukraine asked China to participate in the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, I see that China is thereInternationalRise on stage and increased influence. China is processingInternationalIn our relations, China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and safeguarding national sovereignty, which is the basic norm of China's diplomacy. In the face of China's refusal, Ukraine realizes that imposing demands will only be counterproductive, because China will not sacrifice its own principles and interests for the interests of other countries.
At the same time, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has given us food for thought. The peaceful settlement of disputes isInternationalSocietal expectations, but for some regional conflicts, it is not an easy task. In the process of resolving conflicts, all parties need to adhere to the principles of justice, good faith and reciprocity, and compromise and mutual understanding can promote the arrival of peace.
