Ji Yan Spring and Autumn
On the first anniversary of the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, China published a position document designed to mediate the war last Friday. The core was to persuade and talk.But in the face of reality that the gap between Russia and Ukraine is huge, why is it easy to talk about it?
China's position document proposes 12 suggestions, including respecting the sovereignty of various countries, abandoning the Cold War thinking, suspension of fire, starting peace talks, solving humanitarian crisis, protecting civilians and prisoners of war, maintaining nuclear power stations, reducing strategic risks, ensuring food foreign transportationStop unilateral sanctions, ensure the stable supply chain of the industrial chain, and promote post -war reconstruction.
Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized that China has always decided its own position in the Ukrainian issue in accordance with the right and wrong of the matter itself.
But the Western "leader" in the United States and NATO not only did not actively respond to the Chinese suggestion, but even questioned the motivation of the Chinese side and believed that China suggested that it is beneficial to Russia.
US National Security Consultant Sarawan quickly criticized Chinese position documents on Friday.He believes that if Russia stops attacking Ukraine and withdraw from the army, the war "will end tomorrow."
U.S. President Biden asked when he talked about the Chinese position document: "(Russian President) Putin applauded for this reason, so how could it be a good plan? If in accordance with China's proposal, I can't see any signs that it can be benefited from the benefits.Anyone outside Russia. "
Biden also said: "I thought that China would talk about a result of a war that was completely injustice in Ukraine."
Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary -General of NATO, said that China does not have much credit as conflict medals because it does not condemn Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
The United States and NATO and the European Union are not optimistic or even conflict with China's mediation suggestions. The reason is simple: Western camps are fully supporting Ukraine to fight against Russia's invasion, vowing to defeat Russia, and China not only refuses to join the ranks of Western sanctions Russia, but also continuesMaintain a comprehensive strategic collaboration partnership with Russia.The close economic and trade relations between China and Russia are regarded by the West as an important factor in Russia to support war. Western public opinion is also reporting that China may provide military aid to Russia.In this context, it is impossible for the Western camp to accept the suggestions of Chinese persuasion and talks.
However, the proposal of China's mediation is not unparalleled.Although there are no key issues such as Russia's suspension of war and withdrawal, and restoring Ukraine's territorial sovereignty, the first article proposed by China emphasizes recognized international law, including the purpose and principles of the UN Charter should be strictly observed.Get effectively guaranteed.This actually implies the criticism of the war in Russia, and Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity should be recovered and guaranteed.
At the same time, China recommends reducing strategic risks and opposing the use of nuclear weapons, which also meets Western demands.As the war continues, Russia may not only suffer a greater failure on the battlefield, but domestic risks may also increase.The Russian leadership has hinted that the use of nuclear weapons when facing a major crisis; once nuclear weapons are used, everyone is a loser.China has repeatedly opposed the use of nuclear weapons, in line with the interests of countries around the world.
Although Russia is unwilling to spit out the occupied Ukrainian territory, especially Crimea and Wudong State, for Moscow, who is lonely and dilemma, Beijing recommends to start peace talks and stop unilateral sanctions. ObviouslyIt has some kind of "solution" effect.
Therefore, the direct part of the war, Russia and Ukraine, did not negate the Chinese position document.The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "high appreciation" last Friday, emphasizing that Russia is willing to achieve Russian goals through political negotiations.Ukrainian President Zelei also believes that China has issued a "positive signal", expressing his willingness to consider some of the contents of the "Chinese plan" and hopes to meet with Chinese leaders.
A spokesman for the United Nations Secretary -General said on February 24 that the United Nations believes that the Chinese position document is an important contribution to the Ukrainian crisis, especially the Chinese government calls for avoiding the use of nuclear weapons.
The mediation position of China is not a iron plate in Europe.French President Macron told the media in Paris on February 25 that China participating in peace is a "good thing" and also announced that he would visit China in early April.
Some Chinese public opinion believes that before publishing this position document, China has communicated with the three parties of Russia, Wu, and Europe. It may have obtained their understanding, and may even reach a certain tacit understanding.Therefore, mediation suggestions will not allow China to have a deep risk of being involved in the Russian -Ukraine conflict, nor will they offend any parties in Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.
Overall, although the Russian and Ukraine War, which has been exhausted for more than a year, was exhausted, and the European European Europe was not small, but both Russia and Ukraine had not reached the point where the mountains were exhausted.As long as the two sides can still fight, it is difficult to retreat from their strategic goals, and it is difficult to accept the suggestions of Chinese suspension negotiations.
But it is difficult for both Russia and Ukraine to completely defeat each other. War can only make both parties and Europe pay more.In the long run, when any war is over, the two parties of the war will also take the road of peace and evening sooner or later.
China insists on persuasion and talk, which can not only occupy the commanding heights in morality, but also transfer the pressure on the United States on the Russia -Ukraine War to China to a certain extent.This may be an important reason why China knows that the peace talks are impossible at present.
