China’s Special Envoy for European Affairs Lu Shaye said he was “shocked” by the way US President Donald Trump is treating American allies in Europe, adding that a peace deal for Ukraine should not be determined by the US and Russia alone.
This was written by the South China Morning Post.
“When you look at the way the Trump administration is implementing a brazen and dominant policy towards Europe, treating its allies in this way, frankly, from a European perspective, it’s just appalling.
I believe that European friends should think about this and compare the policies of the Trump administration with those of the Chinese government.
In this way, they will see that China’s diplomatic approach emphasizes peace, friendship, goodwill and mutually beneficial cooperation.”
Lu made the remarks on the sidelines of a panel discussion with other senior diplomats during the annual session of China’s top advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in Beijing.
He acknowledged that the discussions between the US and Russia are aimed at resolving the “crisis” (war – ed.), but stressed that any peace process must include the recognition and participation of all stakeholders, including European countries: “The various proposed solutions should be subject to equal discussion, not dictated by a select few.”
