After a year of not having much of a policy at all on the war in Ukraine the Chinese government has finally appeared to show an interest in engaging as a peace broker. On the one-year anniversary of the invasion, China’s Foreign Ministry issued a 12-point peace plan, recommending peace talks and calling for a ceasefire.
There are some encouraging points in this ‘draft deal’ including the first, which seemingly suggests that China supports Ukrainian sovereignty. That might just indicate Beijing is pushing Moscow to withdraw its troops from Ukraine. The Chinese plan also condemns using any weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and asks to keep nuclear facilities safe and calls for the preservation of global supply chains and facilitating grain exports. While light on details, these are proposals that would surely win near universal international backing. However, China cannot help itself by then resorting to Western bashing, appearing to blame the West for starting the war given its Cold War mentality. Western governments have reacted with some scepticism to the Chinese pitch questioning why now and, moreover, why Beijing failed to engage with Kyiv around these proposals prior to unveiling them first in Moscow? The Chinese approach in this initiative does seem rather one-sided.
