Russian Diplomat in China Clashes With Western Counterparts on Ukraine (Caixin)
2022-07-07
A Russian diplomat in China clashed with his Western counterparts over the Ukraine war and China’s stance on the issue at a public forum Monday in Beijing. It was a rare occasion for representatives of the major world powers to exchange views on stage. Andrey Denisov, Russian ambassador to China, called China’s position in the Russia-Ukraine conflict “reasonable and balanced” and said China could be a “facilitator” to resolve the situation with a constructive approach and understanding of historical factors. “The Chinese colleagues here clearly understand where the roots of the Ukrainian crisis are,” Denisov said at the 10th World Peace Forum organized by Tsinghua University. “If any side needs some mediator… then China can also play a role one day.” Sitting with representatives of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (China, Russia, the U.S., France and the U.K.), American Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns called on Beijing not to spread “Russian propaganda,” including allegations that NATO started the war and that the U.S. had bioweapon labs in Ukraine. Burns further called the Russia-Ukraine war “the greatest threat to the world order,” a sentiment echoed by British Ambassador Caroline Wilson. French Ambassador Laurent Bili said Russia is pushing European countries to be closer allies of the U.S. Denisov disagreed with the assertion that Russia’s military operation was “unprovoked” and held up NATO’s expansion as causing the situation. Burns condemned Putin’s move to start an “illegal, unjust and brutal war” that has caused human suffering, loss of life and food insecurity. China, too, blamed the U.S. and NATO’s eastward expansion for triggering the war and said it supports a peaceful settlement through negotiation. In early March, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi offered to mediate in the conflict. China’s Foreign Ministry and senior diplomats have since denied that Beijing had prior knowledge of Russia’s plan to invade Ukraine and rejected reports that Russia asked for its military assistance in the conflict. Beijing also repeatedly stated its official position that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries ― including Ukraine ― must be respected, and the legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously. Denisov quoted Mao Zedong’s saying, “Each phenomenon has one side and another side,” and urged leaders not to fix on one aspect of an event and take it as the whole truth. Denisov called the Ukraine crisis a “tragedy” in his native land. “I was born in Ukraine (with) a Ukrainian mother, so I suffer much more than anybody who speaks so critically about my country and my country’s policy in that particular case,” Denisov said. However, at the forum, Ukrainian Chargé d’Affaires in China Zhanna Leshchynska said China should take more actions to end the Ukraine crisis. He said the Ukrainian government expects China to adopt a clearer position in the current crisis and requires Russia to stop the invasion, withdraw its troops, and retreat beyond the internationally recognized Ukrainian borders.

12 Bodies Recovered After Crane Sinks in the South China Sea (Caixin)
2022-07-04
A total of 12 bodies have been found about 92.6 kilometers (57.5 miles) southwest of where the China-registered crane Fujing 001 sank in the South China Sea in the wake of Typhoon Chaba, according to the latest government statement. During the storm, the floating vessel with a crew of 30 split in two off the coast of South China’s Guangdong province Saturday morning. Four people were rescued while the rest were reported missing, according to the Guangdong Maritime Search and Rescue Center. Government authorities have begun identifying the bodies while continuing their search and rescue efforts. The floating crane was stationed off the coast of Yangjiang, Guangdong, assisting in the operation of an offshore wind farm of around 100 wind turbines. Typhoon Chaba, which sustained a maximum wind speed of 110 kph (68.3 mph) as it landed in Guangdong, hit the vessel on Saturday, causing it to break in two and sink.
