How Europe squandered China and the Global South
China believes there is an opening for peace negotiations on Ukraine. On February 24, 2023, President Xi Jinping presented a Twelve-point proposal for a ceasefire and negotiations. It included the lifting of the sanctions against Russia and developing a plan for the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war.
USA and NATO rejected China’s proposal just as quickly as they dismissed Russia’s proposal for a new European security order for Europe put forward on December 2021, a good two months before Russia started its “full-scale war” against Ukraine.
