China's ambassador to the US has insisted that the 'sovereignty and territorial integrity' of Kyiv 'must be respected' in the latest example of cracks in Beijing's support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Qin Gang also said 'conflict between Russia and Ukraine does no good for China' in an op-ed in the Washington Post on Tuesday where he sought to clarify Beijing's position on Putin's war.

Gang said China would have tried to prevent 'the imminent crisis' had it known of the Kremlin's plans beforehand and warned that 'the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter must be fully observed'.

In other words, don’t interfere with our province of Taiwan or our territory in the South China Sea inside of the 9 dash line.

‘the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine, must be respected’

...including Taiwan?

[marcusmaximus]

This, he added, meant 'the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine, must be respected'.

'The legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously; and all efforts that are conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis must be supported,' Gang wrote.

quote “sovereignty and territorial integrity’ of Kyiv ‘must be respected”

yeah.. that is not saying what you think it’s saying since China considers Tawain part of its sovereign territory.

[EEGator]

Yep.

[Rurudyne]

But only what the ChiComs recognize … otherwise it’s all up for grabs for their benefit.

The junta in Beijing is illegitimate.

"... but with the exception of Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Tibet, India, Japan and Taiwan."

“...insists Beijing is making ‘real efforts’ for peace in latest show of wavering support for Putin...”

</bullshit>

[marcusmaximus]

Putin promised Xi that the war would only take 3 days, just like he promised Biden. And Putin effed it all up.

Now China is forced to issue a statement after 3 weeks as well as have to deal with uncomfortable questions about Tibet, Taiwan, etc.

There’s lies, damned lies and then there’s Commie lies.

[rrrod]

Accurate story? Lot of “writer opinions” out there. But if it’s bad for Putin then it’s good for the world.

[cuz1961]

Except Taiwan ?

Commie off CCP.

Projection. Reek accuses Tulsi, Dems pile on. Biden is treasonous if this is true.

One of the ways the US entered the ranks of the great powers was when TR brokered an end to the Russo-Japanese war.

Since we are sidelined by having no President, I wonder if the Chinese see this as an opportunity.

It would be ironic if Putin's war leads to the only country posing a genuine geopolitical threat to Russia acting as guarantor of Ukraine's security.
