China's deputy UN Ambassador Geng Shuang fired back at U.S. accusations this week, calling Washington's claims about Beijing's role in the Ukraine conflict "blame-shifting" and urging a focus on peace instead of finger-pointing. 💥
At a UN Security Council meeting, Geng stressed that China "did not start the war" and has never supplied lethal weapons to either side. He emphasized Beijing's "strict control" over dual-use exports like drones, countering acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea's claims of Chinese materials enabling Russian attacks. 🛑
"We urge the U.S. to stop creating confrontation and play a constructive role in ceasefire efforts," Geng declared, framing China as a neutral party committed to dialogue. The exchange highlights growing tensions between the powers as the war enters its third year. ⏳
With global food and energy prices still reeling from the conflict, young professionals and students worldwide are watching how major players navigate this geopolitical minefield. Will diplomacy prevail? 🤝
