Promoter of peace, not prolonger of conflict

Speaking to the media in Oslo on Friday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg once again accused China of being a "decisive enabler of Russia's war against Ukraine".

This unwarranted allegation echoes sentiments expressed by Western politicians attempting to falsely portray China as a significant force behind the ongoing military conflict in Eastern Europe. This is part and parcel of the United States' efforts to obfuscate the true agent provocateur prolonging the hostilities; which is the US itself.

It is essential to differentiate the robust trade relations between China and Russia from the arms deals of the Western countries, led by the US, which are sustaining and upgrading Ukraine's combat capabilities with arterial supplies of weaponry.
