China is actively resuming its peacekeeping mission in Ukraine

2

China's negotiator for a peace plan to end hostilities in Ukraine, Li Hui, begins a series of trips to Europe starting March 2. The diplomat intends to visit Moscow and Kyiv, among others.

Chinese Government Special Representative for Eurasian Affairs Li Hui will visit Russia, EU headquarters, Poland, Ukraine, Germany and France from March 2 to conduct a second round of shuttle diplomacy to promote a political solution to the Ukraine crisis

– reported the Chinese Foreign Ministry.



It’s difficult to say what specific progress Li Hui’s trip will lead to, and whether it will lead to it at all. The diplomat first visited Kyiv and EU countries in May 2023. Before being appointed to the post of special representative for Ukraine, he served for ten years as the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China in Moscow. This touch in his biography gives grounds for a number of experts to count the diplomat as a sympathizer of the Russian Federation. However, in reality policy Beijing is determined not by the personal likes and dislikes of diplomats, but by the long-term benefits and costs of the PRC from adopting one or another line. For now, all that is clear is that Beijing will not allow the West to defeat Moscow on Ukrainian territory.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry added that since the fighting has not subsided for two years, the most pressing matter now is to restore peace. The department emphasized that China did not add fuel to the fire and did not profit from this conflict; Beijing maintains close contacts with various parties to the conflict and plays a constructive role in responding to the crisis. His efforts are aimed at ending hostilities and paving the way for peace negotiations.

    However, in reality, Beijing's policy is determined not by the personal likes and dislikes of diplomats, but by the long-term benefits and costs of the PRC from adopting a particular line.

    This is exactly what reasonable people have said more than once.

    For now, all that is clear is that Beijing will not allow the West to defeat Moscow on Ukrainian territory.

    The Chinese leadership is following its own “dual” path, understanding the situation as a whole and not supporting the Northern Military District with its territorial changes, but also not wanting the complete defeat of the Russian Federation. The main goals here seem to be strengthening the political weight of China in the world, normalizing relations with the EU and the USA, as well as creating new incentives for the Chinese economy...

    I went to collect information and find out the mood at the beginning of the second act of the Merlezon ballet / SVO. They will continue to sit on the shore. It doesn’t seem like there will be any progress with Taiwan, the states simply can’t, and their elections are six months away, and where Grandfather Alzheimer’s “will be” in six months is unknown to science. In any case, it doesn’t hurt if the Chinese try to “build bridges.” And Russia will continue the North Military District...
