​China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi,​ relayed the same message to Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a phone call Wednesday in which Wang backed Putin’s rationale for ​Russia’s massive military buildup along Ukraine’s border.

According to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement, Beijing’s top diplomat initially reminded Blinken of the need for “all parties to remain calm and refrain from inflaming tensions or hyping the crisis.”

Wang also called for the “Cold War mentality” to be abandoned in order to establish “a balanced, effective and sustainable European security mechanism through negotiations, with Russia’s legitimate security concerns being taken seriously and addressed.”

At that point, the Chinese readout indicates, Wang appeared to veer into advocating for Putin’s argument that Russia is only responding to aggression from the US and its European allies.

“The security of one country should not be at the expense of the security of others, and regional security should not be guaranteed by strengthening or even expanding military blocs,” Wang said.
