Tang Bei: China's Diplomacy and the European Crisis

The United Nations has once again demonstrated its indispensable role, both in the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis and in China’s diplomacy. The biggest challenge is that some countries use the United Nations as a platform for pressure rather than a platform for consultation. These practices are not only detrimental to the resolution of the crisis; they also undermine the United Nations itself.

The Munich Security Index 2022 shows perceptions of risk that pervade the societies of G7 countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, domestic political polarization, and rising inequality.

Zhou Bo: Why China is refusing to choose between Russia and Ukraine

The war in Ukraine, however disruptive, won’t stop the global political and economic shifts towards Asia with China at the centre. China is now the eye in the storm. Therefore, it should be the stabiliser. The benefit of making no choice is avoiding a bad choice.

It is in this country’s national interest, but more importantly also totally morally acceptable, to stay out of this mess, while at the same time unwaveringly championing peace and stability.
