The most prominent peace proposal regarding Ukraine, with which China intends to strengthen its position against the United States among 3 specific audiences: the Global South, Europe and Ukraine is after the war.

In general, China’s goals for the implementation of the peace plan in Ukraine can be reviewed as follows:

Third, abandoning the Cold War mentality. The security of a country should not be pursued at the expense of others. The security of a region should not be achieved by strengthening or expanding military blocs. Legitimate security interests and concerns of all countries must be taken seriously and properly addressed. There is no simple solution to a complex issue. All parties should contribute to the creation of a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture by following the common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security vision and taking into account the long-term peace and stability of the world. All parties should oppose the pursuit of their own security at the expense of others’ security, avoid the confrontation of blocs, and cooperate with each other for peace and stability in the Eurasian continent.

Fourth, stop hostilities. I see. Conflict and war do not benefit anyone. All parties must remain rational and exercise restraint, avoid igniting and escalating tensions, and prevent the crisis from worsening or even spiraling out of control. All sides should support Russia and Ukraine to work on the same track and resume direct talks as soon as possible to gradually de-escalate the situation and finally reach a comprehensive ceasefire.

Sixth, solving the humanitarian crisis. All actions that are useful to reduce the humanitarian crisis should be encouraged and supported. Humanitarian operations should follow the principles of neutrality and humanitarian issues should not be politicized. The safety of civilians must be effectively protected and humanitarian corridors must be established to evacuate civilians from conflict zones. Efforts are needed to increase humanitarian aid to affected areas, improve humanitarian conditions and provide rapid, safe and unhindered access to humanitarian aid, with the aim of preventing a larger-scale humanitarian crisis. The United Nations should be supported in playing a coordinating role in sending humanitarian aid to conflict zones.

Seventh, protection of civilians and prisoners of war. Parties to the conflict must strictly observe international humanitarian law, refrain from attacking civilians or civilian installations, protect women, children and other victims of conflict, and respect the basic rights of prisoners of war. China supports the exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine and calls on all parties to create more favorable conditions for this purpose.

Eighth, keeping nuclear power plants safe. China opposes armed attacks against nuclear power plants or other peaceful nuclear facilities, and calls on all parties to abide by international laws, including the Convention on Nuclear Safety (CNS), and resolutely prevent man-made nuclear accidents. avoid China supports the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in playing a constructive role in promoting the safety and security of peaceful nuclear facilities.

Ninth, reducing strategic risks. Nuclear weapons should not be used and nuclear wars should not be fought. The threat or use of nuclear weapons should be opposed. The proliferation of nuclear weapons must be prevented and a nuclear crisis averted. China opposes the research, development and use of chemical and biological weapons by any country under any circumstances. Tenth, facilitate the export of grain. All parties should fully and effectively implement the Black Sea Grains Initiative signed by Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Nations in a balanced manner and support the United Nations in playing an important role in this regard. The cooperation initiative on global food security proposed by China offers a practical solution to the global food crisis.

Eleventh, stop unilateral sanctions. Unilateral sanctions and maximum pressure cannot solve the problem. They only create new problems. China opposes unauthorized unilateral sanctions. Relevant countries should stop abusing unilateral sanctions and “long-term jurisdiction” against other countries to do their part in de-escalating the Ukraine crisis and create conditions for developing countries to grow their economies. and improve the lives of their people.

Twelfth, sustain industrial and supply chains. All parties must seriously maintain the existing world economic system and oppose the use of the global economy as a tool or weapon for political purposes. Joint efforts are needed to reduce the spillover of the crisis and prevent the disruption of international cooperation in energy, finance, food trade and transportation and the weakening of the global economic recovery.

Finally , promoting post-war reconstruction. The international community should take measures to support post-war reconstruction in conflict zones. China is ready to provide assistance and play a constructive role in this effort.
