China's Top Diplomat Criticizes U.S. as Two Sides Seek Bilateral Talks
r. Wang, speaking Saturday before an audience of largely Western defense and security officials at the Munich Security Conference, also said Beijing would set out its position on a potential “political resolution of the Ukrainian crisis” next week, timed to the first anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war.
“We are against profiting from others’ misfortune. We are advocating for peace talks,” Mr. Wang said, reiterating China’s position that the Ukrainian crisis wasn’t something it wanted to see. “We are not sitting idly by, nor are we adding fuel to the fire,” he said.
Asked about China’s plans for a peace proposal, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that the Chinese ideas seemed “quite vague” and signaled doubt about whether Beijing could play the role of a sincere mediator. “China has not been able to condemn the invasion,” he said. “China has not been able to say that this is an illegal war.”
In his speech, Mr. Wang laid out a sweeping critique of the U.S. for what he described as its “misperception and strategic misjudgment” of China.
