China refuses to condemn Russia and is towing their "peacekeeping" "denazification" line.
- sofixa 5y agoNo longer, today they said they'll work for peace and condemn the violence.
- spacehunt 5y agoNope, as of 7 hours ago China merely "regrets" the violence necessitated by the "legitimate national security claims" of Russia. https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/ch/component/k2/1636556-20220301.htm https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/ch/component/k2/1636556-20220301.h... Do you have a source?
- thih9 5y agoI have seen other statements. > Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi deplored the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, calling it a “war” and saying that he is “extremely concerned” about the harm to civilians, his office said in a statement following a call with his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba.

- spacehunt 5y agoUnfortunately I think it's a mistranslation. None of the Chinese language media reports him calling it a "war", but instead only a "conflict".
