SHANGHAI, (Reuters) – China is on the right side in history regarding the Ukraine crisis. Time will show, but its position aligns with most countries’ wishes, Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Minister, said.

His ministry published a statement on Sunday that Wang stated to reporters, “China will not accept any external pressure or coercion, and opposed any unfounded accusations against China.”

After U.S. President Joe Biden had warned his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping on Friday about the “consequences,” if Beijing provided material support for Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, Wang made these comments.

Xi said to Biden that the war in Ukraine should be ended as soon as possible, and called for NATO countries to have a dialog with Moscow. According to Beijing’s comments about the call, he did not assign any blame to Russia.

Wang stated that the greatest message Xi conveyed was China’s commitment to world peace.

Wang stated, “We have always stood up for keeping peace and opposing violence,” and reiterated that China would make its own judgments.

China’s position has been objectively and fairly stated, in accordance with many countries. China will eventually prove its claims right.

On Saturday, Le Yucheng, the Vice Foreign Minister of China, stated that Western countries were now imposing sanctions on Russia because they are angry about Ukraine’s actions.

As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, they have put in place severe sanctions. He claims he started a “special operations” to demilitarize and “denazify Ukraine.

While acknowledging Ukraine’s sovereignty it has stated repeatedly that Beijing believes Russia has legitimate security issues that need to be addressed. Beijing also urged for a diplomatic resolution of the conflict.
