CHINA’S POSITION ON THE POLITICAL SETTLEMENT OF THE UKRAINE CRISIS







2023-02-24 09:00

1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized
international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations
Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and
territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld. All
countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the
international community. All parties should jointly uphold the basic norms
governing international relations and defend international fairness and justice.
Equal and uniform application of international law should be promoted, while
double standards must be rejected. 

2. Abandoning the Cold War mentality. The security of a country should not be
pursued at the expense of others. The security of a region should not be
achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs. The legitimate security
interests and concerns of all countries must be taken seriously and addressed
properly. There is no simple solution to a complex issue. All parties should,
following the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable
security and bearing in mind the long-term peace and stability of the world,
help forge a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture.
All parties should oppose the pursuit of one’s own security at the cost of
others’ security, prevent bloc confrontation, and work together for peace and
stability on the Eurasian Continent.

3. Ceasing hostilities. Conflict and war benefit no one. All parties must stay
rational and exercise restraint, avoid fanning the flames and aggravating
tensions, and prevent the crisis from deteriorating further or even spiraling
out of control. All parties should support Russia and Ukraine in working in the
same direction and resuming direct dialogue as quickly as possible, so as to
gradually deescalate the situation and ultimately reach a comprehensive
ceasefire. 

4. Resuming peace talks. Dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution
to the Ukraine crisis. All efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the
crisis must be encouraged and supported. The international community should stay
committed to the right approach of promoting talks for peace, help parties to
the conflict open the door to a political settlement as soon as possible, and
create conditions and platforms for the resumption of negotiation. China will
continue to play a constructive role in this regard. 

5. Resolving the humanitarian crisis. All measures conducive to easing the
humanitarian crisis must be encouraged and supported. Humanitarian operations
should follow the principles of neutrality and impartiality, and humanitarian
issues should not be politicized. The safety of civilians must be effectively
protected, and humanitarian corridors should be set up for the evacuation of
civilians from conflict zones. Efforts are needed to increase humanitarian
assistance to relevant areas, improve humanitarian conditions, and provide
rapid, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access, with a view to preventing a
humanitarian crisis on a larger scale. The UN should be supported in playing a
coordinating role in channeling humanitarian aid to conflict zones.

6. Protecting civilians and prisoners of war (POWs). Parties to the conflict
should strictly abide by international humanitarian law, avoid attacking
civilians or civilian facilities, protect women, children and other victims of
the conflict, and respect the basic rights of POWs. China supports the exchange
of POWs between Russia and Ukraine, and calls on all parties to create more
favorable conditions for this purpose.

7. Keeping nuclear power plants safe. China opposes armed attacks against
nuclear power plants or other peaceful nuclear facilities, and calls on all
parties to comply with international law including the Convention on Nuclear
Safety (CNS) and resolutely avoid man-made nuclear accidents. China supports the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in playing a constructive role in
promoting the safety and security of peaceful nuclear facilities.

8. Reducing strategic risks. Nuclear weapons must not be used and nuclear wars
must not be fought. The threat or use of nuclear weapons should be opposed.
Nuclear proliferation must be prevented and nuclear crisis avoided. China
opposes the research, development and use of chemical and biological weapons by
any country under any circumstances.

9. Facilitating grain exports. All parties need to implement the Black Sea Grain
Initiative signed by Russia, Türkiye, Ukraine and the UN fully and effectively
in a balanced manner, and support the UN in playing an important role in this
regard. The cooperation initiative on global food security proposed by China
provides a feasible solution to the global food crisis.

10. Stopping unilateral sanctions. Unilateral sanctions and maximum pressure
cannot solve the issue; they only create new problems. China opposes unilateral
sanctions unauthorized by the UN Security Council. Relevant countries should
stop abusing unilateral sanctions and “long-arm jurisdiction” against other
countries, so as to do their share in deescalating the Ukraine crisis and create
conditions for developing countries to grow their economies and better the lives
of their people.

11. Keeping industrial and supply chains stable. All parties should earnestly
maintain the existing world economic system and oppose using the world economy
as a tool or weapon for political purposes. Joint efforts are needed to mitigate
the spillovers of the crisis and prevent it from disrupting international
cooperation in energy, finance, food trade and transportation and undermining
the global economic recovery.

12. Promoting post-conflict reconstruction. The international community needs to
take measures to support post-conflict reconstruction in conflict zones. China
stands ready to provide assistance and play a constructive role in this
endeavor.
