China made a statement regarding the war in Ukraine

China's position on the war in Ukraine is "fair and objective", the People's Republic of China is "actively working" on peace negotiations and a political settlement. This was stated by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Wenbing, during his briefing. The fact is that the US is finally going to introduce sanctions against Chinese banks precisely for China's support of Russia's defense capabilities.

China also rejected accusations of supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine and insisted on the legality of trade with the Russian Federation. The People's Republic of China noted that the country's government provides effective control over the export of military and dual-use goods.

Commenting on the US statement on Beijing's large-scale assistance to the Kremlin to restore its military-industrial base, Wang Wenbin emphasized that his country is "actively working" on peace negotiations and a political settlement.

"The Chinese government exercises proper supervision over the export of dual-use goods in accordance with applicable laws and regulations," the diplomat said.

He added that China is neither the creator of the "Ukrainian crisis" nor a party to it, is not looking for selfish gain, and "certainly will not agree to be a scapegoat."

"Let me emphasize once again that China's right to normal trade and economic exchange with Russia and other countries of the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit must not be hindered or violated," he said.

According to Van, the only correct way to resolve the "conflict in Ukraine" is to "take into account the legitimate security interests of all parties" and create a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture through dialogue and negotiations.
