I laugh so much whenever I hear China use the word "peace".
...What . . . ???? oh right. . . . more word salad!!
More time wasting, all-talk no-action empty promises!!
China is such a great country with a long history and could do so much more for the world but now unfortunately it is governed by the CCP.

This would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
The country threatening the entirety of the South Pacific is going to Ukraine to talk
“Peace”….tell it to the Taiwanese and see what they have to say.

Top Chinese envoy to visit Ukraine, Russia on 'peace' mission
You may need to check your headline again as there is mistyping.
'peace' mission need to be peace mission.
Good move as this conflict have no milltary solution a yes one and only way to solve this is peace negotiation.

It's in China's interests to keep the war going for as long as possible. China can play 'pretend peacemaker' but all that is an eyewash.
The more the US gets distracted by Ukraine the less will it focus on Taiwan.
Secondly, the ongoing US support for Ukraine will further divide the Democrats and Republicans, whereas both the sides have common viewpoints when it comes to China.
Last but not the least, China and India also benefit from the discounts on Russian oil.

Actually it should be "Piece mission" in terms of what the Chinese can get out of it for themselves.
At what party or parties' expense is irrelevant.

That's great and all but he better be polite and keep his yap shut when he his being shown Bucha and other warcrimes commited by Russia.

You'll get your negotiations shortly AFTER Russia is handed its rear and significantly sent packing. Oh, and it will be ratifying NATO weaponry on its border, no ifs ands or buts.

If I murdered your family, moved into your house and claimed it as mine, would you "negotiate" with me?

Good thing zelensky asked China for help, there may be a more peaceful end to this conflict yet

Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot of divide between the Republicans and Democrats on this issue. Even Kevin McCarthy was pretty clear in his support of Ukraine.
Of course you'll have the fringe losers like MTG and Gaetz, but they don't represent most people.

Took him long enough but zelensky may have finally realized that his "friends" were just trying to drag this war for as long as possible, giving him basically just enough weapons at any given time to achieve stalemate.
ian
Just think about it for half a sec, zelensky was forced to ask chinas help

Zelensky is right now in the UK, talking with Rishi Sunak. The first foreign leader to visit Checkers since Sunak became PM.
wallace
Zelensky--- Italy, Germany, France, and now the UK. Support is offered from all those countries.

The Chinese knows it's fake. Chinese people have access to truthful information unlike you

Taiwan,US cannot ratify it budget ceiling,the US will be looked up on as joke

No, it wasn't. China reached out to Ukraine. Now comes the job of selling Russia's terms to Ukraine, who will reject anything but the return of all occupied territory. Ukraine cant possibly give ground on territory or it sets itself up for future conflict with Russia, who will do the same again and look for more territory to be ceded.
Russia has a huge military with stockpiles of weapons that may even be larger than Americas (though much of it outdated). It was simply not possible to give Ukraine more weapons than Russia has, and they need close to parity at least, to win this conflict.
Troops need to be trained on what they will use and in basic military tactics and to build an army comparable to Russia's while fighting a holding action, is not a short term prospect. Expecting to get huge amounts of weaponry for untrained people and storing it in Ukraine where it can be targeted by spies and sympathizers would not help Ukraine. The UA must be built up over time, while it defends against Russia's invasion, so that it can evict Russia from most if not all of the occupied territories.
It took over a year for China to contact Ukraine. Very sure Ukraine has been asking everyone for help and so far China has done nothing to assist Ukraine except about $1 mill in humanitarian aid. Now Jinping speaks with Zelenski about peace with its ally Russia. Not a good starting point. China has very low credibility for peace talks being an ally of Russia, while using Russian propaganda and not bothering to talk to Ukraine for over a year.
If they (China) were neutral and began maneuvering for peace talks within the first weeks of the invasion they would have more credibility. They didnt and they have none (credibility).

no access to Twitter (such as it is), Google or any western news network that isn’t test screened when it broadcasts anything the censors don’t like.
And don’t even get me started on access to print media.
This statement so ludicrous as to be laughable.
ian
I though macron had helped but japantimes article said otherwise
But maybe he did after that
ian
Would be good if you both could post what Biden and Medvedev said
fallaffel
What led up to 2014-2022? It's apparently your grey zone.

I could not tell if he was talking about Russia, WWII Japan, or Israel!
