China on the right side of history over Ukraine war – foreign minister

SHANGHAI, 21 March 2022, (TON): Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said “China stands on the right side of history over the Ukraine crisis as time will tell, and its position is in line with the wishes of most countries.”

Wang told reporters “China will never accept any external coercion or pressure, and opposes any unfounded accusations and suspicious against China,”

Wang’s comments came after US President Joe Biden warned his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, of “consequences” if Beijing gave material support to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

According to Beijing’s statements about the call “during the video call, Xi told Biden the war in Ukraine must end as soon as possible and called on NATO nations to hold a dialogue with Moscow. He did not, however, assign blame to Russia.”

Wang said the most important message Xi sent was that China has always been a force for maintaining world peace.

“We have always stood for maintaining peace and opposing war.
