The Chinese Xi, during his meeting with the French Macron and von Der Leyen, declared:
- China, France and the EU all want a rapid ceasefire and a return to peace in Europe, and support a political settlement to the crisis.
- The three parties must jointly oppose excesses and escalation of fighting, create conditions for peace talks, safeguard international energy and food security, and maintain the stability of the industrial supply chain.
- China works vigorously to facilitate peace talks
- China is not the origin of the Ukrainian crisis, nor is it a party to it.
- Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the most urgent task is to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire as quickly as possible.
- The top priority is to ensure humanitarian assistance.
- Is ready to work with the EU to support a broader, authoritative and more effective international peace conference to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- China’s new energy industry has made real progress under open competition and represents advanced production capacity.
- This is a new energy industry that not only increases global supply and alleviates global inflation pressure, but also significantly contributes to the global climate response and green transition.
- China and the EU have excessive common interests, broad cooperation and green and digital transition.
- It is necessary for both sides to properly handle economic and trade frictions through dialogue and consultation, and take into account each other’s legitimate concerns.
- We hope that European institutions will develop a fair perspective towards China and adopt a positive policy towards China.
Lots to digest, and some of it may be poster-child, but overall positive.
