China Seeks Global Support for Ukraine Peace Plan

China has urged the international community to back its peace plan for Ukraine following recent diplomatic discussions with Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa, which it views as important allies in promoting global peace. Envoy Li Hui emphasized these nations' ongoing communication with both Russia and Ukraine, advocating for negotiations to resolve the crisis. Earlier this year, China and Brazil proposed a peace plan that includes a conference involving both Ukraine and Russia, aiming to prevent further escalation of the conflict. Despite being absent from a peace summit in Switzerland in June, China continues to push for a diplomatic resolution amid escalating hostilities, including Ukraine's recent offensive in the Kursk region. Li has criticized Western support for Ukraine, claiming it exacerbates the situation, while the U.S. and NATO have accused China of facilitating Russia's military efforts. The complex dynamics highlight the challenges of achieving peace in the ongoing conflict.
