Beijing also said it was ready to contribute to resolving the “Ukrainian crisis,” as it calls the war with the Russian Federation.
China respects the sovereignty of all countries. This was stated by the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, at a briefing on Monday, April 24, according to the TASS propaganda news agency.
Russian media propagandists asked her to comment on the words of Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shai about the ownership of Crimea.
“China’s position on the relevant issue has not changed. As far as territorial sovereignty is concerned, China’s position has always been clear. China respects the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries and upholds the purposes and principles of the UN Charter,” the official said.
According to her, regarding the “Ukrainian crisis” (as Beijing calls the war unleashed by the Russian Federation against Ukraine), China’s position is supposedly “understandable and consistent.”
“We are ready to continue working with the international community to contribute to the promotion of a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. Some media misinterpret China’s position on the Ukrainian issue and sow discord between China and relevant countries, and we must remain vigilant about this,” Mao assured. Ning.
She claims that China “respects the sovereignty of all the republics that were part of the USSR.”
The official also added that after the collapse of the USSR, China was one of the first to establish diplomatic relations with the former Soviet republics.
Recall that the Estonian Foreign Ministry will call the Chinese ambassador to get clarification about the comments of the Chinese diplomat in France regarding the sovereignty of Estonia and other countries of the former USSR.
