As tensions in Ukraine simmer, China's top UN diplomat Geng Shuang delivered a fiery call for peace — and a sharp rebuke of U.S. actions. During a UN Security Council meeting Thursday, the Chinese envoy accused Washington of \"aggravating security tensions\" through continued arms transfers to Kyiv while blocking diplomatic solutions. 💥
⚔️ Weapons vs. Diplomacy
Geng spotlighted U.S.-led weapons shipments to Ukraine, arguing they \"push geopolitical strategy in a blatant manner\" rather than promote peace. UN disarmament chief Izumi Nakamitsu raised alarms about cluster munitions' risks, citing their \"indiscriminate nature.\"
🇨🇳 China's Peace Push
\"Who’s truly supporting peace?\" Geng challenged, emphasizing Beijing's three-year push for ceasefires and negotiations. He denied U.S. claims of Chinese military support for Russia, stating Chinese firms conduct \"regular, rules-based trade\" with all parties. 📉
🌐 Global Divided Opinions
While urging immediate de-escalation, Geng warned against \"camp-based rivalries\" — a swipe at Western alliances. The remarks come as Washington pressures Beijing to distance itself from Moscow. Will diplomatic efforts prevail over artillery? The world watches. 🔍
