China wants the fighting in Eastern Europe to stop right now. Beijing is issuing a clear, uncompromising command to both Russia and Ukraine. The message came directly from the United Nations floor. Sun Lei serves as China’s deputy representative, and he delivered his remarks during a recent Security Council gathering.
The Moscow Times reported that China is firmly demanding an immediate return to the negotiating table. Beijing claims it wants to guide the political process.
Lei held nothing back when addressing the packed room. “We strongly urge you to end the conflict as soon as possible. We also strongly urge you to resume talks, demonstrate real political will, and make every effort to address the root causes of this conflict through full and unconditional adherence to the principles of the UN Charter,” he said.

Theatrical socialists.
Heck, if China ‘demands it’, Russia must obey.
Who the heck do they think they are, a super-power or something?
And the message was delivered thru the UN, so, Putin had better listen. ;-)
.
Just threaten to take Siberia. They’re gonna do it anyway.
It must be costing China something. They don’t really have good intentions for those suffering.
China is jockeying for a looting position in what’s left of Ukraine, just like the EU.
Putin won’t stop until Russia captures all of Novorossiya which includes Odessa.
“It must be costing China something.”
China would like more Russian oil.
Gulf oil is not reliably obtainable in sufficient quantity.
China is Russia's only upstream ally, and they are providing them with the military hardware etc.
Russia ain’t the big guy, China is.
And China is who Russia has become “dependent” on after our sanctions.
That’s why the sanctions nonsense wasn’t going to work, no matter how awesome and self important some of the folks here thought we were.
Everything from computers, cell phones, clothes, home appliances, cars, or electronic components Russia needs even for their war machine, their most used drone on the forward battle space is DJI, they get from China.
Our sanctions didn’t work because China wasn’t on board.
However, the Russians turned to China and became near solely dependent on them. Dependence = leverage.
The only real winner in this war, in a HUGE way, was China.
China’s influence in BRICS, their market share in everything / across the board saw a huge rise in Russia (double, triple or more in total volume), they got awesome gas and oil deals. Russia being “dependent” on critical imports from China means China does have leverage, a lot of leverage at this point.
In fact, while all the doom and gloom experts here predicted China’s economy will slow growth or even decline, it is us and the West et al. that are likely slipping into a recession, and China will continue their march on with 5% annual GDP growth, largely fueled by Russia that NEEDS their products, in some cases no matter what (war machine).
https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/economy/recession-probability Now predicted at 35%, it is likely much higher and even JP knows this, why they are laying off folks around the nation (2% of total workforce in their first go around) in investment banking and corporate divisions which get hit the hardest in such market turn downs...

Yes, this war in Ukraine was a disaster, even for us, in that it maneuvered our true #1 threat (China) into a far better long term position and it did very little for us other than burn up a lot of money.
You’re bandwidth is just to narrow to see it, at least a while back. Maybe you’ll start getting soon.
It cost China a lot.
Russia told them it wouldn't take long.
But the latest development hurt China. Ukraine has developed effective drones and drone warfare. It ended any chance China had of invading Taiwan (and other areas). They are very angry about that.
Have you looked at a map?
Also, you haven't been following the news lately, have you?
I think that China strongly disagrees with you. They are not happy that Russia got them into this, and hasn't had the success they promised.
But now they are downright furious. Ukraine has developed a drone warfare platform that is highly successful, and they are exporting it to Taiwan.
This platform allows the smaller power to equalize themselves, and it huts expensive navies.
Russia is getting their butt kicked right now.
Agreed. That was one of my thoughts. Amazing the twists and turns that happen.
Sounds like Russia is losing this war, and if President Trump wasn’t in office the USA would be doing all they could to not let this war end. If Russia’s economy fails, China has a much weaker ally. China is not willing to prop Putin up much longer it seems.
Yes, it’s like the invention of the AK47.
Russia still occupies 20% of Ukraine.
China is in deep negotiations with Ukraine on reconstruction contracts just like the EU.
China’s total goods trade volume grew from $4.85 trillion in 2020 to a record $5.24 trillion in 2025, cementing its position as the world’s largest goods trading nation.
What am I missing?
The Chinese are right on this one... it’s time to get to the table and end this horror.
Besides democrats need a corrupt country like Ukraine to launder their money and hire their drug addicted whore monger sons...
