Beijing refutes US Blinken's accusation on China over 'powering' Russia's military operation

ShanghaiEye魔都眼 The Wall Street Journal: I just wanted to follow up on the question that was just asked. Secretary Blinken while in Beijing has made a point to say that a key focus of his is stressing to China the US’s opposition to China’s support through trade of the Russian economy and its defense industrial base. Could you comment on that specifically? How did Foreign Minister Wang respond to that today when Secretary Blinken brought it up? And is China willing to take any steps at all to limit its trade with Russia in response to concerns by not only the United States but also by Europe as well?
Wang Wenbin: I gave a detailed response on the two foreign ministers’ meeting just now. I can add some broad responses to the questions you raised.
It is hypocritical and highly irresponsible for the United States to falsely accuse China over our normal trade and economic exchanges with Russia, while passing legislation to provide massive aid to Ukraine.
The root cause of the Ukraine crisis lies in regional security tensions that had built up in Europe over the years. Only by accommodating the legitimate security concerns of all parties and creating a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture through dialogue and negotiation can the issue be properly addressed. China did not create the Ukraine crisis, nor are we a party to it. China’s position on Ukraine has been just and objective. We have actively promoted talks for peace. Shifting the blame on China will not end the crisis, nor will it help those who find themselves in a difficult position on Ukraine.
As a Chinese saying goes, “Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger take it off.” We urge the US to stop scapegoating China and make real efforts to find a political end to the Ukraine crisis.
We never fan the flames or seek selfish gains, and we will certainly not accept being the scapegoat. China will continue to stand on the side of peace, dialogue and justice, and play a constructive and responsible role to put an early end to the crisis. In the meantime, we will firmly uphold our legitimate and lawful rights and interests.
