China’s position on the war in Ukraine has been ambivalent. On the one hand, it has blamed NATO enlargement, which Russia has stated as a reason for starting the war. On the other hand, it has stressed respect for Ukraine’s territorial integrity. China has also abstained in United Nations votes on the war in Ukraine. As a Chinese citizen, I am deeply troubled by my country’s position on this conflict. I believe that China should unequivocally condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In these challenging times, I wanted to take a moment to express our deep and abiding solidarity with the State of Israel. The people of Israel have faced adversity with remarkable resilience and determination, and we stand firmly by your side. Our bond is rooted in shared values, history, and a commitment to democracy, human rights, and peace. We support Israel’s right to self-defense and security, and we hope for a future where peace prevails in the region.
