The U.S. should change its 'distorted' attitude toward China or risk 'conflict and confrontation,' said the country's foreign minister.
Qin's comments struck the same tough tone as his predecessor, Wang Yi, now China's most senior diplomat after being made director of the Foreign Affairs Commission Office at the turn of the year.
During a nearly two-hour news conference in which he answered questions submitted in advance, Qin made a robust defence of "wolf warrior diplomacy," an assertive and often abrasive stance adopted by China's diplomats since 2020. In effusive comments on China's stature in world affairs, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged Qin's comment that the Ukraine crisis seemed to be driven by an invisible hand, pushing to extend and escalate the conflict and using it "to serve certain geopolitical agendas."
China struck a "no-limits" partnership with Russia last year, weeks before its invasion of Ukraine, and China has blamed NATO expansion for triggering the war, echoing Russia's complaint. He did not give a definite answer when asked if Xi would visit Russia after China's parliamentary session, which goes on for one more week.Since Russia invaded its southwestern neighbour a year ago, Xi has held talks several times with Putin, but not with his Ukrainian counterpart.
