Ukraine war: Zelensky wants Xi Jinping meeting following China's peace plan
BBC ^ | 02/23/2023 | George Wright & Jaroslav Lukiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he plans to meet China's leader Xi Jinping to discuss Beijing's proposals on ending the war in Ukraine.

Speaking on the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, he said the proposal signalled that China was involved in the search for peace.

...

China's plan calls for peace talks and respect for national sovereignty.

However, the 12-point document does not specifically say that Russia must withdraw its troops from Ukraine, and it also condemns the usage of "unilateral sanctions", in what is seen as a veiled criticism of Ukraine's allies in the West.

The Chinese authorities have so far not publicly responded to Mr Zelensky's call for a summit with Mr Xi.

Meanwhile, Russia hailed the Chinese peace proposals. "We share Beijing's views," the foreign ministry in Moscow said in a statement.

...

The Chinese proposals follow Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Moscow, where he met President Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday.

After the talks, Mr Wang was quoted by China's state-run Xinhua news agency as saying that Beijing was willing to "deepen political trust" and "strengthen strategic coordination" with Moscow.

Western officials gave the latest proposals a lukewarm reception. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg said Beijing "doesn't have much credibility" because it had "not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of Ukraine".

...

It comes days after US President Joe Biden flew to Kyiv for a surprise visit and held talks with Mr Zelensky.

It would be rather delicious were Xi to visit Kyiv only to be killed by a Russian attack.

This American proxy war has come up aces for Xi. Xi hasn’t spent a penny as he sits back and watches his proxy bleed the youth of Ukraine white and the American taxpayer dry. Other than the corrupt Uke oligarchs and the DC military industrialist oligarchs, no one wants to see this quagmire continue more than the Chicoms.

So Zelensky says he’s interested in the peace proposal.

And the haters here criticize that? Really absurd.

Y’all think Xi will hug and praise Zelensky like he is a rock star as our congressfags do?

I think it is a great idea. Might as well give it a try.

Wow. Is China about to show us up on the world stage and broker peace? Zelensky took all those U.S. dollars and now he says, “see, ya!” I’d also love it if China got the contracts for rebuilding Ukraine and was able to cut out The D.C. mafia.

They might let zElenskyy at least land at the Beijing airport - if he promised to bring his shinebox.

Then, they might let him shine Wang Yi's shoes, just as long as he kept his mouth shut and his eyes on his work.

More grifting by Zelvis. But at least he’s willing to talk about ending this senseless slaughter.

Simple - Zelensky plays any side that will force Nato involvment to go after Russia including playing China. An he’ll be as deceptive as possible to gain that.
