China shares the Russian distrust of the Western powers | Ambassador (r) Masood Khalid

China favors a peaceful settlement, acknowledges complex history of Ukraine and does not support the use of force or sanctions. It also shares the Russian distrust of the Western powers but views this conflict with concerns due to its negative security and economic implications for Beijing. This was stated by Ambassador (r) Masood Khalid at a One-Day International Conference on ‘Russia-Ukraine War: Causes, Dynamics and Implications’ organized by IPS on March 30, 2022.
