World towards multipolarity, this is how China presents the peace plan

Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, in his first press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of the People's Assembly, said that if China and Russia "work together, the world will have a driving force towards multipolarity and greater democracy in relations international relations”, while “global strategic balance and stability will be better guaranteed”. A relationship which, precisely because "it does not threaten any country, is not subject to any interference or discord sown by third parties". The relationship between China and Russia is based on the principles of "non-alliance, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third parties".

Beijing has not supplied weapons to either side of the Ukrainian conflict. China is not the architect of the crisis, nor a directly affected party. Why then threaten sanctions on China? It's absolutely not acceptable." The new foreign minister, Qin Gang, in his first briefing with the media speaking of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, indicated "an invisible hand" that seems to support a protracted crisis. "It is a tragedy that could have been avoided: China chooses peace over war, dialogue over sanctions" and de-escalation over escalation". In recent days, China has presented its project for a stable peace both in the ongoing war in Ukraine and in international relations as a whole. The Chinese document, dubbed the Global Security Initiative, with a heavy dose of narrow-mindedness, has so far been dismissed by the United States and ignored by the governments of the European Union.
