Another significant diplomatic event occurred in world politics. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with the European Union's chief diplomat in Brussels. This meeting was in the spotlight of the international community.
Wang Yi openly stated that Beijing does not accept Russia's defeat in Ukraine. According to CNN, these words were assessed as a new turning point in the global political balance.
As Wang Yi emphasized, if Russia is defeated in the war, the United States' attention will inevitably shift entirely to China. Although this statement contradicts China's official neutrality policy, it prioritizes Beijing's geopolitical interests.
According to European Union Foreign Minister Kaja Kallas, Wang Yi's perspective indicates China's inclination to continue the war in Ukraine. The four-hour negotiations also discussed cybersecurity, rare minerals, trade balance, Taiwan, and Middle Eastern issues.
However, the issue of Ukraine and Russia received the most attention. The European Union and the United States are concerned about China's position on this matter.
Despite international pressures, Chinese officials maintain their stance. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, stated that Beijing's position on the Ukraine issue is neutral and consistent, prioritizing negotiation and peace.
He emphasized that the conflict benefits no one and that constructive cooperation with the international community should continue. Additionally, the Chinese leadership is continuing its strategic partnership with Russia without limitations.
The political and economic ties between the two countries are becoming increasingly strengthened. Although Beijing denies allegations of providing military assistance to Russia, the Ukrainian side has imposed sanctions on certain Chinese companies.
In particular, there are serious claims regarding the supply of drone components and assistance in missile production. In the current geopolitical situation, China's firm and interested position may play a significant role in the international resolutions of the Ukraine conflict.
At the heart of the concerns of Europe and the United States lies Beijing's emergence as a more independent and influential power as the world's second-largest economy. Each new diplomatic negotiation and geopolitical statement reflects in the global balance and security system.
The conflict surrounding Ukraine and China-Russia relations is likely to remain one of the most pressing issues in international politics in the future.
