Amid escalating global tensions over the Ukraine conflict, China has doubled down on its call for peace talks. 🇨🇳 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stressed Tuesday that "dialogue and negotiation" remain the only viable path to resolve the crisis, likening diplomacy to "building bridges in a storm." 🌉⚡
Speaking at a press briefing, Mao addressed recent U.S.-led meetings involving Ukraine and European leaders, stating: "We welcome all efforts toward peace." She emphasized China’s role as a neutral mediator, noting Beijing has shuttled envoys, published peace proposals, and formed a "Group of Friends for Peace" since the conflict began. 🕊️📜
"China isn’t part of this conflict, but we’re committed to being part of the solution," Mao said, highlighting the country’s push for impartial reconciliation. The remarks come as global powers debate strategies to address the prolonged crisis—with Beijing positioning itself as a voice for de-escalation. 🗣️🌐
For young peacemakers and policy watchers worldwide, China’s stance offers a reminder: Sometimes, the loudest solutions are whispered across negotiation tables. 🤝💡
