China's foreign ministry responds to repeat allegations that Beijing is assisting Russia: "As the one who started the Ukraine crisis & the biggest factor fueling it..."
By Tyler Durden: With the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine now five months in, China has issued its strongest condemnation of The USA's role in the crisis yet, pointing out the fact that the US "created" the conditions for the proxy war.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said further in a press briefing earlier this week that while the US could be pursuing peace and formal talks between Russian and Ukraine, it is busy playing "world police" while fueling the conflict - and all the while trying to confront China - according to the words of foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.
His scathing criticism perhaps marks the first time Beijing has officially and so bluntly pointed out that the US "started" or "created" the Ukraine war, while also repeating the fact that the US is stoking a "new Cold War".
