The spokesman added that the US is clearly “looking for enemies instead of peace” in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Mr. Wang called on the US government to stop “adding fuel to the fire” with baseless accusations, and instead “start making real contributions to finding a political solution” to the crisis in Ukraine. .
“China is not a creator or participant in the crisis in Ukraine. We stand for peace, dialogue and are committed to promoting peace negotiations. We actively support the establishment of a balanced, effective and sustainable European security structure” – Mr. Uong said.
