Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed China's neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict Friday, urging global unity to 'resolutely choose peace' during a high-level meeting. 🌐 The veteran diplomat co-chaired the inaugural 'Friends of Peace' platform session, emphasizing dialogue over confrontation as the crisis enters its third year.
🔍 Key Points:
– No Bloc Alignment: Wang clarified the new peace platform isn't about picking sides or fueling Cold War-style divisions
– Global South Focus: Called for amplifying voices from developing nations through UN channels
– Three Choices: Stressed prioritizing 1) peace over war, 2) reconciliation over hatred, and 3) dialogue over escalation
💡 Why It Matters: With spillover risks growing from sanctions and weaponized supply chains, China's push for multipolar diplomacy could reshape how emerging economies engage with the conflict. Analysts say this aligns with Beijing's broader vision of 'balanced global governance.'
