China Warns EU Cannot Accept Russia Losing Ukraine War

News summary

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi privately told the European Union's top diplomat that Beijing cannot accept a Russian defeat in Ukraine, fearing it would allow the United States to fully shift its focus to China. This candid admission contradicts China's public stance of neutrality and suggests China may prefer a prolonged conflict to keep the U.S. preoccupied. Wang denied accusations that China supports Russia militarily or financially, arguing that if it did, the war would have ended long ago. Chinese officials reaffirmed that China is not a party to the Ukraine conflict and emphasized the country's consistent position advocating negotiation, ceasefire, and peace. However, this private stance reveals Beijing's broader geopolitical concerns about U.S.-China rivalry and its implications for the ongoing war. The discussions between Wang and EU officials covered broader issues including cybersecurity, trade imbalances, Taiwan, and the Middle East, highlighting the complexity of China's foreign policy approach amid the Ukraine crisis.
