According to the Observer Network, a few days ago, a Bloomberg reporter asked: Chinese Ambassador to Ukraine Fan Xianrong said in a meeting with the leaders of the Lviv region that China is a friend of Ukraine, respects the Ukrainian political system, and is willing to help Ukraine develop its economy. Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs support the Chinese position expressed by Ambassador Fan? Zhao Lijian said: Of course, we support the remarks made by the Chinese ambassador to Ukraine. China supports all efforts that will help to ease the situation and political settlement in Ukraine and opposes all actions that are not conducive to promoting a diplomatic settlement or even escalating the situation. We will continue to play a constructive role in promoting the détente of the situation in Ukraine and are ready to make our own efforts to overcome the humanitarian crisis. Not only that, China has sent two shipments of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and a third will arrive.
The practices and statements of the Chinese side all reflect China's unique oriental wisdom. Now the United States continues to put pressure on China to choose a side in the War between Russia and Ukraine, and even to ask China to join the queue of sanctions against Russia. In this regard, it even slandered China as Russia's accomplice in the fight against Ukraine. In the face of such a situation, China has now responded directly, we support all efforts that will help ease the situation in Ukraine and a political settlement, and China also respects the path chosen by the Ukrainian people. As for the situation in Ukraine, China is not like the United States, just talking about it, and the humanitarian aid supplies have reached two batches, and the third batch is also coming. China has even pledged to help Ukraine's economy build.
How does the West do it? The United States and Western countries continue to send weapons to Ukraine, increase sanctions against Russia in the international community, and NATO is also waiting on the front line in Poland. These actions are undoubtedly intensifying the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine and making the war situation more tragic. The lives and deaths of the Ukrainian people are not at all taken seriously by the West. But is it really weapons that Ukraine is most in short supply? Nature is not, but material, but to rebuild its local economy, otherwise the people's lives will not be able to sustain at all. One behind the scenes constantly instigated Ukraine and Russia to fight to the death, transporting weapons, transporting mercenaries, and even arranging a "government-in-exile", which is to directly put Ukraine in the position of "pawn", without the slightest respect. A friend of Ukraine, humanitarian assistance, promises to help restore the economy and people's livelihood, respects the sovereignty of the Ukrainian government, treats as equals, and imposes judgments from above.
In this way, what right does the United States have to blame China, and if it wants to stand on the moral high ground and give orders, it is punching itself in the face. China is a sovereign country, our domestic and foreign affairs are independent and autonomous, we treat every sovereign country in the world equally, we are good friends with Ukraine, and we are also good friends with Russia. Forcing other countries to make choices by the United States is a naked act of hegemony, and China is not afraid of this. Because it is difficult for the United States to gather allies to form the same containment and sanctions against China as It did on Russia. After all, not only does China not threaten the security of European countries, but the EU has become China's largest trading partner in the first two months of 2022.
According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, in 2021, the trade in goods between China and the EU reached a record high of US$828.1 billion. In the first two months of this year, China-EU trade continued to maintain a good momentum of development, with an increase of 14.8% year-on-year to US$137.16 billion, which was US$570 million more than the bilateral trade volume between China and ASEAN in the previous two months.
With china and the EU close trade ties and no threat of security conflict, will they tear their faces off with China? It is estimated that few countries in Europe have such courage. Perhaps they will stand up under the call of the United States and make some criticism and condemnation of China in the international community, but the actual sanctions are still estimated to be the same as before, and there are very few. Without an alliance base, the United States will not hurt to use the situation between Russia and Ukraine to put pressure on China, after all, there is no Ukrainian problem, and the United States will also find various reasons to find fault for China. China has been placed as a major strategic competitor. Moreover, China's statement has once again demonstrated our great power style in the world, and the diplomatic principle of mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. This will certainly further enhance China's international prestige and let the world see China's peace-loving concept and attitude.
With the improvement of China's international status, such a standard will inevitably bring more partners to China. In other words, once China's comprehensive national strength can compete with the United States, most countries are expected to choose to side with China. Because everyone wants to cooperate with a person who respects themselves, not with someone who interferes with themselves and even constantly cuts their own leeks. This multiple choice question is not so difficult to choose.
